It seems the latest Github issue was from 5 days ago, so probably not?

I doubt Youtube's enshittification would do anything good for its competitors. Youtube is kinda shitty already, everyone knows it and everyone whines about it, yet no one switches.

Also hosting videos is unprofitable, Google only sustains Youtube to have data to feed AI on and to maintain market dominance. Competitors stand no chance.

Centrism does not mean coming up with a middle-ground solution for all issues. It could be taking a left-leaning stance on one issue, and right-leaning on another.

I think we should just use Lemmy. Encourage people with upvotes, comment something interesting, join communities and stuff. The more shit there is on Lemmy, the more incentive for people to join it.

Bro, Europe can not help Ukraine force out literally 1984-style genocidal occupiers (Russia and North Korea), no way they would do anything to America.

Saying this as a European myself

I hope Ukrainians do consult with North Korean POW's on whether such leaflets would work on their comrades. Would be a waste of resources to deliver leaflets that just do not work

Also there is Ecosia from Germany and Startpage from the Netherlands. Although I love DDG most

If we ban centralization then IRC, Signal, Xenforo, vBulletin

Signal is not social media, IRC is an open protocol, isn't it? I do not know about the rest.

Even when you have federation, each unit in that “web” will usually have a centralized moderation team and administration.

I do not have a problem with that. The problem with centralized social media is that users are locked in to using some specific app because all their friends are there, which makes it harder to switch. This gives monopolies like Facebook an unfair advantage.

Can you suggest a comparable alternative?

I dunno, how Lemmy does this?

Do you mean that they at most should be non-profit? And if so, why?

Yes I mean that. For-profit social media profits from increasing user engagement, even if that means through getting people addicted, intentionally not dealing with misinformation (because misinformation is usually more outrageous and gets people more engaged), data collection and other unethical practices, all because shareholders need the line to go up.

I support blocking commercial, proprietary and centralized social media everywhere.

Stop switching to every new "cool" and "encrypted" service every time the previous one disappointed you a little bit. This is not helpful neither for your time, nor for privacy community overall. We should lean on most developed and best platforms we have right now (Proton, Signal etc.) and get everyone to switch. Unless we know we have market dominance, dispersing our efforts is futile.

And yep, answering your question, Tuta Mail is fine
