I loved the old forums, and couldn’t quite see the point of Facebook when it came out. I thought it was just for self-obsessed ‘models’ and wannabe ‘celebs’ when I first heard about it! I joined it eventually of course, as all my friends did and I wanted to see what it was all about. Over the years I’ve had a love/hate thing with FB and only check in a couple of times a week now.

I liked Reddit, it reminded me of the old forums. I like Lemmy more though. It’s still got that feeling I remember back in the old forum days before everyone and his dog got online on their phones and things seemed to go downhill.

Namecheap also accepts bitcoin payments

And very few folk like the old.

The people inciting race riots deserve everything they get.

could matrix.org be as easily blocked, since it’s decentralized I’m wondering?>

Or SimpleX?

If I had a Fairphone I’d use CalyxOS or DivestOS. They seem to be the best for privacy and security out of the OS that Fairphone supports.

I flashed Calyx to a refurbished Pixel 6a recently. It was quite straightforward and I love it so far.
