  • Is there a "macroblogging" platform on the Fediverse?

  • Sort of. I feel like I need to know my own priorities better because I'm not sure what I want wrt hosting. Because of general trust and privacy issues, of course self-hosting (at home) is the ultimate best option, but I think that might only be a long term thing and I can't do it now. So I'm wondering what to prioritize right now - cost, reputation, or simplicity - because I've found quite a few options that differ in these aspects.

    Writefreely is simple and can be free, but I can't find very many public instances and have no way of verifying reputation.

    Similarly, wordpress.com has been under fire for a lot of things and I'm not sure how I feel about hosting with them &- free or otherwise.

    Everything else like random VPS providers feels like a gamble because I know nothing about them and it seems like a black box. And obviously, cost increases for what is essentially going to be a bunch of writings from one person.

  • WriteFreely looks pretty good!

  • Would you recommend WordPress as a hosting service? I'm not able to understand the structure of it all to figure out if it:'s ethical and what with the recent fights with WP Engine and stuff, I'm unsure how it all actually works.

  • Any disroot email users? How is the service?

  • They are not mutually exclusive. Privacy is one of the most political issues out there because every fascist/billionare wants control and control requires surveillance. I have not completely given up on Proton because of one man's statements, but it's not looking good.

    Those statements from the CEO suggest one of two things - naiveté (to think either US party cares about the "little guy" or about privacy and freedom) or cowardice (just sucking up to Trump like every other CEO right now). Neither of which is good for privacy or freedom because to achieve either, you need both awareness and a spine to stand up against this shit.

    And the fact that no one else from the company or their board or foundation has bothered to jump in and take action means either they're on board with his statements or too powerless, which again, doesn't spell good things.

  • Is there any way to play repacks on Linux? [Solved]

    Jump

  • Look up LinuxRulez. They make repacks for linux that have script installers. Older stuff might not be seeded though
