CTA ATTENTION ALL FEDIVERSE ADMINS: 

On July 4th Gab is coming on to the Fediverse by switching over to Mastodon on their servers.

This means that you can shut the door on them today by preemptively have them fully suspended from your instances. So your users do not have risk getting harassed by any of their users, and they from the start be blocked off from major portions of the Fediverse.

Thank you for your consideration and :boost_ok:

What makes you laugh? Go do it, watch it, read it, if you can.

Does anyone have any tips or strategies for being minimal and private online?

I was thinking of finding a way of using compartmentalisation along with some open source productivity tools to make a minimalist and private way of using the internet.

If you're not voting because you don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils, that's effectively half a vote for the greater of two evils.

Does an #Instance like this exist?

100% #GreenEnergy

100% #FreeSoftware and no tracking

100% stance against #HateSpeech by strictly moderating #Nazis and such. #HateSpeechIsNotFreeSpeech

100% stance against instances that don't pick a side, but pick sidelines, by blocking instances that like #LibremOne don't moderate nazis.

It is not a coincidence that EVERY platform that promises "unlimited free speech" has fallen to hatred, villainy, and oppression.

It is not a coincidence that nearly EVERY person who demands absolute freedom of speech also wants to subjugate the human beings they believe are Lesser Than.

I do not tolerate that hatred, villainy, oppression, and subjugation here. Evil does not get to have a voice on Elekk.

It's time to move away from the abusive tech giants that are turning what used to be a free space into a censored place with limited expression.

Start with these:
- privacytools.io
- switching.social

to better explain my dislike of Purism. It's simple. It goes far beyond their ignorance when it comes to allowing hate speech on their social platform.

They also release half-cooked probducts that aren't ready for mass consumption. They raise funds for products that aren't realistic or that they don't even know how they will build yet.

They charge shipping and restocking on their own failed products when they don't work as sold.
