No need. We have corporate mind control which tricks people into thinking only brown people are terrorists, non nato states are barbarians and socialism doesnt work, etc.

We even have accounts on lemmy who exclusively post nato propaganda and use multiple accounts to cancel dissent.

That is correct but also only half of the story.

Reddit shut down dissenting voices which is huge in thought control. They shut down alternate apps, making poor people gobble up propaganda. The awards system, popularity contests, etc

Thats not all of it but definitely enough to not touch it with a ten foot pole.

Cool username

Yes, hi. I have fully abandoned antisocial media.

Stuff is not important anyway, no matter where it is posted. I get input here, which is okay. But the most important part is: I dont get centrally controlled propaganda and am able to form my own input as I can handle it.

You might wanna watch dont look up. Its pretty spot on in that department.

And I dont think anything will come through people’s apathy - besides a world ending comet maybe.

I think people will get upset enough to get off their butts and do things. The issue I see currently is that demonstrating likely wont bring change but if people start disrupting harder (not more violent, although I’m not a pacifist at all) it will definitely bring change.

Yeah sure. Because a company paywalling functions has anything to do with network configuration.

What people like you dont understand is that there is no minimum requirement of knowledge to selfhost. It is completely braindead how often i have to tell people how a network works and now i have to explain to people why software configuration is not network configuration.

Good question.

I think I have to distinguish between my opinion on what a legal system should be vs what i think it is first.

Imo a legal system should just elaborate on justice, ie equalizing between opposing parties on the fixed principles of ist foundation. For example if you have the rule that nobody shall be harmed, that includes all harm and no matter for what reason, except necessary to keep harm from others etc.

What I think the legal system is in most countries (or rather has become, but i’ll explain why that was the only choice anyway) is a way for the rich and powerful to excert power over the masses. You need to be insanely privileged to work in the legal system or to influence it, you need a lot of money to hire a lawyer, etc.

The country i live in is infamous for its complicated and blown up legal system. It is exactly what I explained before.

Why is it systemic? We have the issue that we live in an unfair system that thrives on inequality and left by itself it is cruel and heartless. A legal system needs to try its best to keep the cruel parts at bay which osnt possible long term. In socialist systems, despite their flaws, that is much easier because the system is based on similarity.

I think we need a better system (you can guess) and then the legal system will collapse to the most basic stuff like theft, fights and such. The whole “legally stealing from customers” shtick will be gone.

Resilience. Federated social media is resilient against censoring and corporate takeover.

It.does however not help with eee attacks which I why most of us block threads and a lot will block other fediverse sized (or larger) single instances of eg bluesky etc.

Other, less important (to me) benefits are no algorithms, no profit motive, no ads.

The fediverse is just better in any way.

I did not make a “first” or “second” post about this. This is it.

Neat. Thanks for suggesting.

Already done. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

You’re pretty hostile. Good luck with that attitude.

I run a reverse proxy too. are you talking about a public one? I’m probably gonna use a relay server for it which essentially is the same I guess.

Yeah, or not.

You’re an absolute champ! Thanks for walking the walk. Its refreshing meeting people who do stuff. Feel free to check out my kodi peertube app at some point ;)

I know. the issue is my friends dont have networks run by me. So I have to gain access to them and have to change setups which makes the situation likely to blow in my face. its just not a good solution imo. People have already suggested a relay server which will likely be the best solution.

yeah no. there are a lot of other solutions to this. they’re just a little annoying. others have confirmed there are similar setups like plex is doing with a relay server, but selfhosted.

I think you make a hugely important point and I would definitely use it and I might even be able to help making it.

That is pretty much how I imagined it. Sadly, its A TON of work. I have most of this set up in many VPSs for both me and customers (with other services of course) and I can imagine its probably the best solution. I still hate my life when thinking of implementing it. :D I bet its gonna be easier than I think but you may get my point here. Thank you very much for sharing.

yeah, thanks. but thats not gonna work for me. i live in a big city and none of us (me and my server included) have static IPs nor am I gonna get them (at all) and I dont want to pay for them either (because ISPs here want you to pay for them). in any case, thanks for trying to suggest something. it might help someone else who has a different setup. :)
