This works 100%.

XMPP (with omemeo) is the classic (and also what FB messenger uses behind the scenes, without omemo), Matrix is the new kid on the block taking over. Both are decentralized sorta like the fediverse (but separate from said fediverse.)

Used to use Signal, but they're removing SMS support so everyone might as well switch to matrix. Wickr was bought by amazon (and they say they won't ruin it, riiiight), so that's out. Idk enough about briar or session, and telegram isn't as secure as people seem to think.

Flesh Gordon.

No that isn't a typo.

Yes it is exactly what you think.

Yes it is hilariously bad.

Gold, house, stonks.

I have no dog in this fight at hand, however this quote got me to thinking:

What a joke. Democracy must feel so unfair, when you're losing.

Yeah, you're right. It highlights the fact that Democracy at the end of the day is just mob rule, where 51% of voters could (in theory) vote to kill, silence, or otherwise deprive the rights of the other 49%.

As for free speech issues, my thoughts are that driving them underground to fester and grow out of sight is good for "out of sight out of mind," but in reality it strengthens their hold over their members through their own persecution complex and allows them a platform where their ideals go unchecked and unchallenged until it's too late, they already believe it with conviction enough to spread it to other sites, which then they get "persecuted" for (in their eyes) and driven right back to the arms of the people who are manipulating them into these positions to begin with who say "see? We told you everyone was against us!"

Kinda like just letting mold grow in a drippy sink, you can wipe off the outside of the faucet and make it look pretty but the mold is still there in the pipes.

Pro-pineapple (but anti-hawaiian, should be pep, pine, jalaps) here: I'd try it, but only with chicken and Habeneros if I can, jalaps if they have no habs.

The best 3topping in existence, hands down.

My theory on why people don't like pineapple on pizza is that most of them pair it with sweet ham, so they lose the full effect of the spicy/sweet/salty combo. Pineapple on pizza is amazing, hawaiian pizza is an abberant form that should be removed off menus everywhere and replaced with the true god-king: The PPJ.

No, as a man of culture I use Linux.

(Lol just gotta get a dig in, can't resist. I know gaming isn't 100% there yet but Steam and their Proton are making great strides in recent years.)
