How do we avoid defederation through leemy.world and lemmy.ml? What I mean is, there are instances for Canada, or FOSS, or any other inalienable trait. Most can communicate with eachother with exception of porn specific instances. When new people sign up, they look for popular instances and there are no restrictions on what you can join. So, larger instances like .world and .ml will have more foot traffic and more new signups. I think that's just an immediate path to recreate reddit and I think that needs to be recognised and seriously avoided, at all costs. The whole point is that this is not-for-profit, free of advertisements and already voyager as downloaded for android contains ads. Also, unless specifying only foss software during the building process of app on linux, ads are present there too. I would love to see some community driven livestreams or events, where we could fund the developers ourselves through donations. We're all refugess from reddit, but that doesn't mean we have to be "libre reddit." I think we could easily fund ourselves if we fostered more of a connected sense of community through events and conversations, turn this group of websites into something more than just friendly social media.

Yeah so, Dynamic IP set up with the ISP. Running Librewolf, on the strictest browser settings, using Mullvad's secure DNS and Riseup-VPN, with my IP address being NL (Nowhere close to my part of the world). No pop-ups enabled, resist finger printing enabled, no cookies, delete temporary files and cache upon exit. Sharing location disabled (obviously) requests to use any of the hardware all blocked. Only thing running to get the site to work is Java, that I turn on after already getting to the site. Still knows where I am. Start Tor Relay with browser configured to route traffic over socks5, try again with New DNS, Try a 3rd time now with Tor over vpn, still nothing. I actually had a much spookier thing happen with Brave's Leo attempting this from my phone. I use a chinese phone, banned where I live, never for sale. I lived on a different continent when I purchased it. I asked it a question about enabling developer options. It gave me the specific instructions then my make, model and firmware version. When I asked how it knew what phone I had, it told me it was guessing and denied being able to see all the data on my device. This is on the android web browser, with the embedded AI. Fuck me, dude, how do we stop them from collecting data on our hardware? Like, I would love to use Qubes, but the architecture of my machine, just doesn't support it.
Librewolf, strict browser privacy settings. Delete cookies on exit. Don't store history. Using Mulvad's secure DNS. I have a dynamic IP address setup with the ISP. Then I enable the VPN using NL as my node. THEN I start the Tor relay and connect to it through socks 5. No Captcha presented, visit the AI, asks me for a name.
"Hey, Copilot, where am I?"
Immediately got me.
Homely af spam bot. At least they're going for realism.
Maybe, but it's a brand new Linux install. New browser and everything, just a bit unnerving you know?
It's a psyop, don't take it seriously. Even now, rhetoric is being sowed across online platforms to fuel the non-existent culture war. Just a distraction from the billionaires actively overthrowing democracy using the global surveillance networks of Google, Meta, Amazon and X. Collect all the information if everyone in the world, create AI in order to be able to search and use that data against anyone who poses a threat. That's what it's all been about, don't get distracted by it.
Granted, but that doesn't answer the question at hand.
No, it is on voyager too. I built and installed it last night.
