It would be trivially easy to allow billionaires and corporations the ability to continue using them while blocking their use from citizens.

They block VPNs primarily through exit node ips, don’t they? If so, I’d just self host a VPN on a cheap VPS.

In this case, I think it’s target user isn’t looking to get out from under the billionaires and corpos, just the American billionaires and corpos. That’s who eyou is designed to appeal to.

The tiny number of people who are anti billionaire and corpos-run social media regardless of nationality already have our very tiny corner carved out.

Octopi became my Nova replacement.

On the desktop web interface, this is what I’m shown. Attempting to follow the sign up flow results in the error I mentioned.

Thank you for that. I tried registering but got a “not_in_beta” error response so I’ll keep an eye on when they open it up to the unwashed masses. Thanks for sharing it!

Have you got a non-reddit link?

I don’t know who finke is but i do know that literally everyone has been saying that.

There are very few instances of geo TLD’s requiring proof that you live in the region the TLD represents but if you can buy a geo TLD, no it will not impact usage of any website using that domain.

As a us-based operator, I’ve used an Isle of Mann domain for my website for years without issue and have set them up for many clients that wanted something particular.

No one should take you seriously. Log off.

Shocker that you actually handle online discussion with the desire to simply remove the people that you don’t agree with.

Much like a Nazi.

It seems that every social influencer Nazi has his bootlickers, I guess.

I love to get the important self-hosting and ad-blocking info from my favorite anti-semite.

Thank you, you’re the MVP.

We keep things open and simple with lightweight, common-sense protections-spam/bot filtering,

That is incredibly not-true. That platform is an absolute dumpster fire of spam and illegitimate content.

Its ok to be that long-winded but combining it with the exhausting and bottomless clever snark makes this impossible to read in it’s entirety.

We get it. You’re cool. Just fucking tell us what you think of Mastodon.

Pixelfed is the federated alternative to Instagram photos and clips. Loops is another one, more centered around video clips. I have no idea if they have porn but I would imagine so.

Upscrolled isn’t USA-based and not good for much but it does have a surplus of the type of content you’re interested in. It was touted as the anti-corpo Instagram but it’s just another manipulated and poorly handled social app that luckily for you, has a ton of porn.

It needs an app

There is an app both for apple and android. Just scroll down the page a bit: https://joinloops.org/join-the-beta

I’m sure that’s what they mean. I scroll with “New/All” and this is a fantastic way to read new stuff you have never heard about BUT the caveat is: this is an enjoyable scroll ONLY after you’ve developed a good block list of users, instances and communities. Otherwise, you’ll get inundated with the few but very vocal and toxic communities that make Lemmy feel like a clone of Reddit/Twitter/etc.

Will* become.

Beware of what? It’s no different than any other instance and capable of being subscribed to, scrolled past or blocked.

Stop advertising for them and let them have their federated echo chamber, just like the communists, socialists, leftists and others have.
