Did those users not hear they can dodge Age Verification by using a different Bluesky compatible app?..
Bluesky are transphobic and Islamophobic “centrist” twats, but the protocol they’ve developed is kinda decentralized and so can be used against their wishes… there’s even one app where you can keep posting even if bsky.social or whatever your home instance is marked you as “banned”… lol.
“super high-intelligence but low in practicality and empathy” Just look at the brains behind the “Dark Enlightenment” and the “Network State”… and those at the Heritage Foundation… their agendas are all bankrupting scams from which the USA might never recover, which would only be poetic justice after what that they’ve done over the past centuries… and I said this despite all my love for certain extraordinary figures and acts of counter culture from there…
Considering the projections that the Atlantic might slow down… and a large part of Europe will suffer soon from a climate spanning more than one extreme but very little suitable architecture… the tables might turn to such a degree that some of us who happen to live in Europe – …but I struggle to call myself an “European” when the European Union is so strangled now by far-right thinking about migration and identity and by privacy-hostile policymakers, on top of all the nations refusing to let go of ethnonationalism – might have to migrate, not so many years from now, to an African, Asian or South American country and live more like the common people there, not like some douchebag Dubai-style expat…
Oh dear, those “third world” countries some people still mock out of pure ignorance rather than ideological slant… I may be wrong, but those countries seem in at least some ways better prepared for what’s to come… from sticking to traditional architecture that makes sense in the region… to making use of solar panels from China and whatever low tech discarded by the West they can make hold of… Most certainly, not everything is rosy, but we’ll be surprised. At least I’d very much like to see tables turning like this. “Europe” has learned nothing good from history. Western supremacy is stupidly suicidal.
Dear unknown user from kbin.earth,
If you think using just a VPN with no additional layer of obfuscation is a major PITA, I’m afraid the next coming years will be an El Nino sized cold shower for you… Be thankful for whatever you can still use.
(oh, good. I’m still confused by the state of affairs) A few YouTubers, not just Lunduke but also Brodie!!, have shown screenshots of a now deleted thread from the GNOME Discourse forum… where Piers wrote that he was removed and compelled to remain silent… he uncovered evidence of embezzlement or how you would call it… there was little money left precisely because it was stolen… and GNOME users were left in the dark…
Just use a VPN?
(Not sure if OP can read this, but let’s go…)
Didn’t GNOME receive some funding a few years ago and pretended they don’t want to implement stuff so that they don’t have to pay contributors and instead pocket the money? Wasn’t that what Sonny Piers revealed this year?
Welcome to the threadiverse, where
an instance will have ideology
a platform software developer will have ideology
a front-end client developer will have ideology
Satire aside, enjoy this fraught freedom while it lasta, before the ID verification police will force us off the clearnet.
Arabic markets tend to be family-owned businesses which buy goods in small quantities at a price and then sell them for a similar price, as they rely on local Muslims being a loyal customer base. That’s how they see it fit as a halal business, being of benefit to the Muslim community rather than seeking profit no matter what…
Both horrors, and countless others, can be traced back to the US… No US-based media is allowed to report on all of them… Still wondering why?
