  • It’s kinda like lemmy here, but a little more pain because not only do you have to pick your provider, but you also need to be very mindful of how your key pair is managed. Like… don’t just uninstall a client without going through the effort of trusting and verifying a new one first, or you may lose the ability to decrypt a lot of history and also break trust with relationships you have.

    Security first is a major concern in the system, so it doesn’t leave a lot to the imagination unfortunately.

    That said, once you convince yourself to set it up, and convince anyone else to do the same, it works pretty nicely. It’s like an inner venn diagram of discord, telegram and IRC.






  • I can’t speak to your experience but I’ve been farting around on the Internet since the mid 90s and I promise nothing ever changes.

    Smaller communities tend to be more concise, that is true.

    But what you have here is the hand you’re dealt. Complaining isn’t going to change anything any more thank joking. You can be the change you seek here by suggesting a course of action that isn’t asking others to suggest a course of action to you. If you’re seeking a course of action, you can try asking here.

    But commenters on tech news aren’t likely to be expert activists, especially in whatever issue is your top concern.

    My best advice to you is

    • practice acceptance of reality, not as defeat but as the first step to understanding and deciding an action

    • determine how much capacity you, as a person, have to contribute to a cause

    • determine one cause you care about and can be effective at contributing to

    After doing those things, SEEK OUT like minded groups who have leadership and self discipline and are effective.
