For those in the thread who say it is hard not to go back for specific content, if you want to go back to browse but limit the ad revenue and clicks, you can still reach it with some front ends like teddit.

Here is a good link: http://farside.link/teddit.com

Or, for example, you can directly access subreddits by appending /r/yoursubreddit to the end http://farside.link/teddit.com/r/memes

Sometimes an instance will be down. If so, try it again in a few minutes or in a new browser or tab or clear the cache so another loads.

Sorry to anyone who sees my multiple duplicates on this thread, but most only get notification of direct replies.

I’ll copy/paste a comment I made above again here in case it helps

“Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it.”

• Plato

“In most cases, those who want power probably shouldn’t have it, those who enjoy it probably do so for the wrong reasons, and those who want most to hold on to it don’t understand that it’s only temporary.”

• John C. Maxwell,

There is barely any rule of law left in the West.

Also, the type of law you are talking about ≠ morality or justice. That ship sailed long ago.

Fuck Apple.

Yes, please politely ask those stealing you and your neighbors and countrymens currency and life’s effort, without providing the “representation” they claim justifies it mind you, and then using it to spy on you illegitimately/unconstitutionally, and then using more of it to fund any legal claims made against them, all in contravention of their oaths, to pretty please stop.

I think we solved it. Pack it up and close down the privacy instance folks. Our work here is done.

Decentralize and make it all permissionless. These self-proclaimed authorities and standards organizations are nothing but state-controlled gatekeepers holding the internet back from its true potential.

Oh, good thought!

Smart advice. Also use Monero online or off where you can.

Precisely. Avoiding the pitfalls of modern tech and actively pursuing privacy strangely and conversely makes you stand out more, not less.

Anyone got a line on a good cabin? Tell the realtor not to call or text me though. I’ll only be responding via telegram (not THAT Telegram, dummy) delivered by horse and rider.

I believe that Odysee and LBRY (the blockchain-based back end technology Odysee sprung from and draws on) are separate companies with different people running them.

You don’t have to touch crypto or use any crypto features to use Odysee, so I’d still suggest it as a platform in the toolbelt in addition to a lot of the other great recommendations you’ve already gotten here in other replies.

VeraCrypt and 7zip are both good recommendations. I’ve read up on cryptomator, but haven’t used it yet, so it’s good to read an endorsement of it from someone who does for cloud storage.

Edit: you could also encrypt it with a local pgp key if you already use that encryption method with a pgp program or provider

These are probably less ideal for the tech illiterate, but they are available for iOS and haven’t been mentioned yet:

Session

Element / Matrix (edit to note someone else did already mention element above in the thread)

A lot of services actively disable VoIP numbers from being used for registration or submission.

Yep. I’ve tried using dummy numbers in the past for things where no phone contact is required for contact and it frequently triggers fraud prevention even if not rendered useless by sms verification before submission.
