Thank you so much! I really appreciate you going above and beyond to provide me with some literature! :)

Thanks for clarifying!

My understanding is very basic, but from what I understand (please anyone feel free to correct me if you know more), it uses newsgroups, which is, historically speaking, an extremely old computer network communication system (conceived in '79) that was used for sharing news and files (it used to have forums and stuff on it too), and it works by transferring files in parts, then unpacking/assembling them at their end point.

Because they are in pieces during transfer, it’s very difficult for ISPs to know what you are downloading, therefore no VPN is necessary.

There is also no seeding because it’s a server-client model, not P2P.

I’ll have to talk to my brother because he’s the one that set it up, but i think we use dognzb and it seems to work quite well.

I’m working towards a better understanding of it so if that doesn’t answer your question please let me know and I’ll get you a proper answer :)

Or, hear me out for a sec: Usenet?

The other founder is Moxie Marlinspike who is a security researcher

I’m trying to convince mine to get on Signal

What’s most important right now is to remember we are not alone. Do not let him rule your life with fear.

Spend time and effort building community, skillsharing, playing music, there is strength in numbers, and we cannot organize without community. The community always comes first.

We don’t fight fascism because we think we’ll win. We fight fascism because it’s fascism. We fight fascism because we have no other choice.

Let’s learn from those that paved the way. Joe Hill, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs, Barbara Dane, etc.

There are good people, and trump, his cronies and sycophants want us to forget that. There are so many good people. Let’s find them with community.

She has given so many people hope by standing up to him.

That’s understandable! I’ll consider this when I go to delete my account. Thank you for that info!

I’ve found that for those moving from reddit, sh.itjust.works seems to be pretty accessible

I mean if the account is deleted it’s no longer tied (to the puboic at least), and I’m not about to fool myself into thinking my internet use is actually secure.

Since all this shit started happening I’ve deleted all the social media apps on my phone and I’ve started using lemmy more. Gonna switch my YouTube shit over to peertube when I can.

Intending to actually delete my accounts in the coming weeks too. Bye bye, 13 year old reddit account. Nobody gonna miss ya.

Tbf I have been using Nebula a lot since I signed up pretty cheaply and I enjoy it. It’s owned by the creators. Found it through Jacob Geller.
