The Public Prosecution Service (OM) and the police are "ready to enforce the laughing gas ban," the OM reported on Saturday.

As I understand that front end is privacy oriented and is not down (I just checked r/ukrainewarvideoreport) since it doesn’t use the OAuth tokens, or is it the other way around? Anyway, whats the federanus stance on that one? Its slow as hell but I still check in from time to time to keep in the loop. What’s you guys take on...
Teddit is great, it's the only way I browse reddit these days. There's a great browser extension called Libredirect that redirects reddit pages to teddit or libreddit, as well as supporting many privacy frontends for other services.
Anyone who's been using privacy-respecting frontends for some time will recognise Piped. A YouTube frontend with no ads, integrated SponsorBlock, return dislikes, and a customisable UI....
There's a great browser addon called Libredirect which redirects Youtube videos to Piped or Invidious. You can quickly jump to another instance if one isn't working. It also supports reddit > teddit or libreddit along with many other frontends.
The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.
So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.
Regardless of your opinion of RFK Jr, censorship has no place in a free society. I'm not comfortable with Google and other megacorps being the arbiters of truth.
I agree that government shouldn't dictate what a company can or must host on their platform. I'm still going to criticize a company or platform that silences opposing viewpoints. That's why I think we should be ditching these giant tech companies for decentralized platforms where the user decides what they want to see and engage with.
I'd rather leave moderation to a user or local community. I'm not super familiar with 4chan, but I don't think there's a way to filter content on an individual or community basis, so I'd say no.
I'm not aware of any US law that says speech becomes illegal if it has "more potential to harm", that seems very subjective and open to exploitation. As for any type of "disinfo", I don't want a tech monopoly deciding that for me, which is why I use and recommend decentralized alternatives instead.
Yelling fire in a theater isn't actually illegal, contrary to common belief. It's a flawed paraphrasing of a 1969 Supreme Court ruling, Brandenburg v. Ohio, which held that speech which would be likely to incite imminent lawless action, such as a riot, is not protected under the First Amendment. Now if someone was injured due to a stampede they could and should be held liable, but the speech itself is not illegal.
To your second example, if some idiot started shooting because someone yelled "gun" or "bomb" they would be charged with murder / manslaughter, or at the very least reckless use of a firearm, and lose their right to carry.
I'm not opposed to removing videos that advocate violence, but I don't think this video falls under that category.
I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn't want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked...
No, I left reddit around 2016 when the bots and the astroturfing started getting really bad. Reddit has made plenty of other bad decisions such as censoring content and communities, I'd never give them any money.
Me, I have a low threat model so I mainly try to stay away from proprietary stuff when possible (Chrome, Edge ect) I use an eclectic mix of browsers....
I've subscribed to a bunch of magazines here on kbin and other lemmy communities across various instances, but I don't see a way to only show posts that I've subscribed to....

Can you guys shut up about Reddit?
I know this is on everyones minds, but talking the same shit over and over again isn't going to make new users stay on Lemmy.

What FOSS browsers, do you use on a daily basis on both your mobile and computer for privacy and security, and what measures have you taken to further harden your browser (if any).
