Get out of here racists, white supremacists, and every other advocate of evil. Jesus taught us to love one another, not wish them dead!

I have been completely removed from Facebook for a full year. It has been the best year in recent memory. OBSERVATIONS:
1) I'm still "connected" to current events. I'm just not bombarded with a thousand "rage-bait" rants about it.
2) I'm still connected with everyone that matters. We've shared the responsibility of staying in touch. Sometimes it's on me to reach out, sometimes it's on them. The people who haven't kept up with me, were just a relationship of ceremony and convenience.
3) I'm substantially less depressed. Surprising no one, I guess. It didn't cure depression, but it alleviated that which it brought: A lot.
4) I'm still super social online. I have community here and a few other places. We do things together, and don't just try to whip ourselves into a fury.
5) I've gained a meaningful perspective: *MY* perspective. Getting away from the manipulative pieces of those social media sites has given me enough clarity to be, well... "me."
YMMV

Decentralize today.
Decentralize tomorrow.
Decentralize forever.
@gentoorebel that's great. I have a Matrix room set up just for people who want to leave discord. https://matrix.to/#/#fromdiscord:matrix.org
I am learning about #i2p, and have got it set up on my PC. It is interesting.
Upgrading to #Linux 4.20 on Antergos. I hear there is a speed hit...
@grammargirl Anything other than Swindle available?
@vicorva Eh. I think it is pretty bad. It is a solid piece of hardware, don't get me wong. But the software by Amazon is trash.

How apps on Android share data with Facebook...
At least 61 % of apps automatically transfer data to Facebook the moment people open the app, whether they have a Facebook account or not, or whether they are logged into Facebook or not.

@ChristianAnarchist Good luck without a government.
@djsumdog I have someone going around diaspora telling people to block me.
@vicorva I have one that looks just like that. Come to think of it, I am using it now.

#mastodon makes the internet fun again, we need more places like this online. Places to have adventures and explore.
> 46. Nepal became the 54th country in the world, and the first country in South Asia, to pass a law banning corporal punishment for children. End Corporal Punishment
That's not exactly a positive.
@kungtotte Yeah. My Bible app is distributed in one way as an AppImage, and it is around 150MB.
@kungtotte I know that it isolated dependencies to some extent. Someone was complaining that a snap package for a calculator app was a few hundred megabytes. These containers increase security and decrease it's reliance on external dependancies, which makes it more portable.
@kungtotte. Flatpaks isolate dependencies right?

You want to know what happens when you don't have free speech? Ask Australians. This post, which talks about suppression and gives no details over the conviction in a high profile case, was taken down. The original is a 404:

The EFF opposed the Right to be Forgotten legislation for this reason, because it is more often used for censorship by the powerful to cover up their crimes.
@dansup I wish you lots of good luck with PixelFed. So many people, young women and girls in particular, are obsessed with Instagram. Children not legally old enough to join are active participants on the network. And Instagram has no respect for personal privacy whatsoever. These people are being exploited and there is little knowledge of it.
Once PixelFed's federation is complete, I believe I will begin to further tell people that are enslaved by Instagram the way of liberty. At least from the oppressive nature of that particular network.
Sorry for the rant. LOL
@hnb if only I could install a real Android on my Amazon Fire tablet.
