AirVPN looks a bit “old”, but it has better support on Linux afaik.

The blocking has nothing to do with free speech.

You can create an account on whatever Lemmy provider you want.

Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?

Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.

What problem does Peertube solve beyond not being Youtube?

Content creators can be in total control of their content and the platform, while still being able to reach the wider audience on the Fediverse.

There’s also features such as being able to replace an already uploaded video and for some, they would be happy not having to play the “algorithm game”.

You can do things because you want to make a difference. A good difference. Not everything has to have an ulterior motive.

We just can’t have nice things…

You could just start the community, no?

I use Linux Mint and I disabled it because it was blocking the nvidia driver from initiating. I’m sure I could fix it, but can’t be arsed to.

Yea… I’m gonna wait for that discount lol

I use Lemmy and PeerTube. Host a version of both myself. I use Loops a little as well and will probably pick up Pixelfed at some point.

That’s pretty obvious. Only if the victims were rich white dudes. That’s when it gets real.

It must mean it’s making a difference, to the point where someone is trying to censor it.

So the mods removed a 48 days old post just all of a sudden?

If you upload to PeerTube it embeds just fine on Lemmy.

Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.

Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.

Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

A medium ranged laptop can be rather expensive and how would you deal with upgrades or a dead drive?

I’m just used to the “/s” for when something is written sarcastically.
