Free speech for the western world. Their admins are right-wing, so they are respectful of the sovereignty of all states and their laws/customs, as expected from people from the right. On the other hand, there's Mastodon/GNU S

WhatsApp is as closed as the version of Telegram you download from the (App|Play) Store. Before you say "but I can compile it myself", think of how many people will ever bother to do that.

Everybody who's used the Internet for more than two days knows that many 404 pages have the URL inside the html (Apache default 404 comes to my mind), so I suppose this was made by someone who simply didn't give a fuck. Which is k
