Oh, that makes sense. I have other gay friends that express the same concern privately. In my country (no gay rights yet; it just got decriminalised) I tend to say that "the best gay pride protest is no gay pride protest", because

Genuine question from a gay person in a conservative country: What sort of healing would traditional values do? Is it the nuclear family sort of thing? I'm not familiar with those theories.

I like writing comments like I am writing for Copilot (even though I'm not using Copilot). It forces me to write better and clearer comments.

I just run a DO droplet with a reserved IP at $4.50 per month. Just enable the SSH gateway and you can reverse-tunnel into it. Cheaper than localhost.run's $3.50 a month if you have multiple domains. I've had issues with localhost

I think Friendica has some of these features built-in.

I'm thinking Lemmy is a good option for this. Compatible with Mastodon too.

That’s what I found too[0]. Made me realise that algorithms aren’t to blame for echo chambers and outrage; it is us humans that are at fault with this. Examples of echo chamber behaviour on Mastodon: all differing replies are labelled as “r

From my time in the Fediverse, it seems that people have come to expect privacy from two things: 1) Privacy by obscurity. The platform was too small for people to care, so content was sort of private, until it was put into the spotlight. 2)

I would like to point out that “Opt out of search indexing”, the feature you’re likely referring to, does not work perfectly. From my experiments, the user’s own pages are opted-out, but their content is federated to other servers (by desig
