Itās not exactly a political instance, but of course everyone is antifascist. The main political users refer to the European Pirate party (not the Italian one), but everyone is welcome to discuss his political vision, unless itās a racist/authoritarian/bigot/fascit one. Iām very happy to know feddit exist and that lemmy platform is spreading :)
I think this could be done even on client side, at least I have some ideas (e.g. āpinnedā messages could be just messages with a āroomā tag locally saved on the device and chronologically ordered; answering a message can be implemented with markdown and a local search for the message when tapped on it). Of course I have absolutely no idea how hard it could be :D
I will think about java, thanks :). Clients I used (conversations and forks) usually lacks a lot of the visual āhintsā presents in other applications. E.g. there is no way to answer to a specific message, there is no way to āpinā messages, different messages from the same person arenāt easy to identify, overall experience is not great compared to modern instant messaging apps like WhatsApp/signal and can be frustrating⦠there are a lot of things that I would love to see, but I understand that they will not magically appear if no one will work on them
Itās really better to NOT start this discussion again, it always bring to flame. You just need to know that GrapheneOS is a good product and developers are really good at their job in maintaining it. And still calyx, lineage, and /e/ are great product too that a lot of people can safely and happily use. Just donāt follow internet drama and use what you want to use
Mull + ublock on andvanced mode ftw. Mull is awesome, even if you need to change sometimes a thing or two from about:config (e.g. ocsp.require sadly broke a lot of websites), but the real feature is the ublock addon in advanced mode: if you learn how to use it (not hard, you can check the wiki on the official GitHub page or any guide on the internet) then you will have complete control on your traffic and a great protection against tracking and security issues. Tor is good too for everyday browsing, just use another browser for things that need an account
So you probably arenāt human, since you care more about other species than yours. Who cares of people with conditions, who cares about poor people, who cares about fragile ones, who cares about your grandma or your mother or the one friend who will have a bad case of COVID even with completely healthy immune system, right? You donāt have any moral āspinal columnā, you are just a egoistic and egocentric person who doesnāt care of anyone except yourself. You are not on any higher moral ground, youāre just selfish. And even as a selfish person, you would make the worst decision about masks and vaccine, since your survival probability are higher if you vaccinate and put a mask on. So, itās not about control, itās not about your āfreedomā, itās not about health, itās about your whims
It depends on your threat model, as always. Since your IP is linked to you, police and everyone else who can legally ask your provider something will know who you really are. This can be a non-issue in some country and for some use-cases, and could be really dangerous for someone else. But except for this it should not impact deeply your privacy, AFAIK, and having communications under your only complete control is always a good thing. I would only be careful to not link too much services to my only person, especially āsocial mediaā.
Still, I would advice against hosting your email server for your primary mail, since it will probably cause too many problems (antispam and the like) with other big providers
