@BigBlackCockroach Have you heard of https://nostr.com/ ?
Should be of interest to you.
It’s censorship resistant by design and you can get 100% censorship resistance by running your own relay (server which transfers the data between the clients).
It’s a protocol, so all kinds of different applications can be implemented with it. Something like mastodon already exists.

@kescusay Just out of interest, what are the “special-purpose activities that can’t be done on my Linux laptop” if you don’t mind sharing?

@TheYang Exactly! Came here to say this. Everybody actively using chromium based browsers is a part of the problem.

Check out this video https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=EAogtqyN22M for some more context.

@ElectroVagrant Yes it works like that on kbin, at least to an extend. I am not sure when exactly it gets available tho. Besides that, as other people said, there seems to be a federation bug at the moment which seems to cause this problem.

Doesn’t always work tho. Opening https://kbin.social/m/android@lemdro.id for examples gives me a 404.

It’s different. From a software standpoint much more mature since it’s older and doesn’t have to manage the technical depth that comes with the fediverse, since it’s not a part of that.
The culture is also different. Not sure how to describe it but if I had to I would also call it “more mature”. Deeper conversations and the different structure of the sites makes it different. There are also no moderators or freely created “magazines” (for now).
Have a look at it and feel free to message me if you are interested in creating an account.

It’s not wired at all. I am active on both and the culture on both sites is completely different, so I totally understand when people decide that one culture fits them better.
