NYT and other MSM platforms are disinformation pushers. Why would people wanna read such poorly written lies …

Or you may try odysee.com there’s no age restrictions, and many creators are moving there.

bonus: they don’t censor free speech like youtube

I was about to set up my family on matrix, but XMPP is way easier. Especially if you wanna self host.

I don’t work a job yet, and I’m new to server administration

The latter can help you acheive the former.

Get a cheap VPS under 3 usd /month. There’s a few lemmy install guides out there for newbies

Web3 is more a proof of concept at the moment. But the technology is potentially ready and already in use.

Many people are discarding web3 as a buzzword, because the so called distributed web3 projects are not YET entirely decentralized.

But I would pay close attention to this space. Anytime soon there will be an epic dapp that will emerge…

Did you know it is now possible to build an entirely decentralized exchange?

No central web server, no central hosting, no central DNS, all trades and liquidity creation happen on smart contracts.

Those who have never traded may underestimate the impact of such use cases… this of course can go far beyond crypto trading.

Indeed. Different XMPP servers like prosody or ejabberd can talk to eachother. Quite cool, and simple to setup.

Yes. Prosody/conversations video voice works on my wifi & also on wifi to mobile1. But does not work for ‘mobile1’ to ‘mobile2’ data.

It’s alright to believe such. However look at how many people are being injured and dying from the vaccine. Just this fb post got swamped with desperate comments https://www.worldtribune.com/unexpected-and-heartbreaking-thousands-flood-abc-affiliates-facebook-page-with-vaccination-horror-stories/

These are real people dying from an experimental vaccine. That’s mostly what nonewnormal community was sharing. Then they got censored.

You’re correct. VPS on digital ocean.

You’ve really motivated me that i can do it ! I’m at basics amof linux commands and ssh. But could be fun learning the docker basics and ansible

That’s amazing. XMPP seems like the way to go.

The only disadvantage to it is that it’s not federated like Matrix, right ?

Appreciate your alternative here.

Why is Matrix so resource intensive compared to XMPP ?

Thanks for this. I’m gonna read up on the ansible deploy. Most likely for a digital ocean droplet.

Cool . 10 usd per month for basic plan . Would be worth it for family privacy

There’s a lot of confusion, you’re right. People are being deceived.

However, I know of 15 people who died from the experimental vaccine. It’s our duty to share information and help others. Sad they disallowed the community.

Really wanna host a matrix instance for my friends and family. I want them to transition away from fb messaging. Gotta look up the steps !

How technical is it so far ? Would love to try also. Kinda done some coding and droplet creation. But not much linux experience.

Is this a Bitcoin improvement Protocol or something ?

Three reasons. Reddit:

1. Increasingly forcing email upon registration
2. Some subreddits are unavailable to mobile web-browsers. Forces the app instead.
3. UI has become insane terrible these last years. Can’t use markdown anymore, cant copy paste when writing comments.
4. Has censorship issues. Even groups like r/nonewnormel get taken down as if they’re doin something worng.

Wow. I was not aware of this. I thought they always inform when they take blocking action.

How so ? I’m genuinely curious. AFAIK mastodon targets a different niche than FB. Namely it aims to offer a better alternative to twitter.
