    The fediverse awaits them with open arms. They just need use closed source, censorship prone social media 🤷

      There’s also the other part of this concerning VPNs. While many are using VPNs purely to access garbage social media, using (good) VPNs can help protect your privacy. So I would argue that the fediverse should embrace and support VPNs. It’s always possible that a data center where an instance is hosted gets raided and IP addresses taken and used against users.

      Funnily enough the largest lemmy instance don’t allow you to use their platform with VPN enabled, unless they’ve changed policy in last 6 months

    I really should start promoting my FOSS decentralised sharing protocol & implementation. You could build a twitter or facebook on top of it for example.

      You’re talking about mastodon and lemmy, right?

        No it’s a decentralised secure takedown safe sharing protocol. So that, for example, you can publish things your government does not like.

            You can’t share any kind of data there.

        Yes here you can find installation information (if you can forward a port to you PC then it’s quite simple to set up), whitepaper, explanations etc.

        I also made !tenfingers@lemmy.mindoki.com (https://lemmy.mindoki.com/c/tenfingers)

        I’m very interested in feedback so if you do check it out, even superficially, I’d love to know what you think about it.
