John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

He has the most posts and comments on the Lemmy activity scoreboard.
Mother of God, I did not realize that he's pushing 70k comments.
Btw are you just joking or isn't there actually a tool that checks Lemmy profiles and gives a neat little scorecard with some stats? I remember reading a thread where someone linked it but that was a while ago.

The ios app Mlem shows a scoreboard of users in the search tab. Also Thunder has a monthly contribution stats on user profiles.

When they get serious about encryption they will make tor illegal as well.
Tor will not hide you from the feds once they decide they really want to go after encryption. They can either own enough endpoints to find you directly or simply go and shut down all the endpoints. Or, If they have other IP leaks that are unpublished...
On the upside they are firing most of the competent people in government so there's a chance the CIA can't do that anymore
If china has failed to stop tor I doubt the us can do much better

Blocking tor at the firewall level isn't difficult. Anything with packet capture can do it.

Ok cool. Tfw there are so many great apps for Lemmy but you can only use one at a time

Here's the same video on PeerTube
We should have a bot link federated alts for links...

Well done: thanks for ignoring & confirming my point.

There is a Firefox extension that does automatically (although it seems to be a bit unreliable). Maybe someone can extract that part into a library and make a not with it.

That works for desktop but not the voyager app π«€

They can inspect the target ip but then u can just bridge it. I wrote a tor implementation from raw websockects.

IMO bridgy is not well designed. The fact that it requires both the follower and the followee to specifically opt in basically makes it DOA. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are completely open and public in terms of post visibility, so bridgy should have been designed to require explicit opt outs from anyone who didn't want their content bridged.
The fediverse hoa had a bit of a problem with it, ignoring the fact that federation is opt out by default.
-
This is why fedi needs to support federation over tor
since most federation happens over the backend, you could access an instance based outside the usa through tor.

I think he plays the awkward card to actual cringe levels at times but I'll also watch Cody's Showdy so that can't be it entirely.
Can't say I love him, but I do appreciate the work he does.
Did you know Dan O'Brien writes for LWT?

Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025
That sounds amazing!

Wait, the Mozilla guy who got pressured to resign over opposition to gay marriage is the Brave guy?? Fuck him lol.
Unsurprising heβs also a dipshit about COVID.
"b-b-but he made javascript!!1!"
r/browsers on reddit is as dumb as rocks.

Be the change you want to see
Honestly I might get more active in posting, cause some of the content I wanna see is not active/has one person posting on the community. I rarely post on any social media, but the fediverse just sparks something in me to make it a more active place.
