I took full advantage of invidious while it was still working, now I am anxious of ever going back to YouTube. It won't be long before they requiring giving them your iris scan before watching a video on that shit platform.

Corporations and commercial interests taking over the internet is inevitable. the only free corners left are the darknets with tor/i2p. but because the normies can't bother use that isn't falshy and trendy, there might not be any other chance to replace this decrepit boring dystopia.

They forgot to thank Biden, Harris and The USA for the thousands of bombs they have provided for Israel's genocide. and the coming 20 Billion more of military support.

They hive mind is just as strong on lemmy as it is on Reddit. which has led me to wind-down my engagement on lemmy and will very soon drop it all together. going back to RSS I guess or might try nostr next.

According to your handle, it might be you who is intersted in that sort of shit, but you are instead reflecting it on others.

You mean Twitter ? which every liberal, leftist and their grandma still using it, despite it turning into a Nazi platform

You kinda intentionally ignoring my point, I was asking for suggestion of different models, even different protocols if they exist. not instance - community - moderation based ones.

At this point I am disappointed with every other internet model that came out so far. and I don't think that moderation has been a good addition, I can see the need for it if you are building a community around your own persona, like a streamer or influencer fandom. but for things like politcs and economies and stuff it just turns into echo chambers.

Do you need to pay for those relays, or register with those relays like you to on lemmy to be able to post ?

can you move your account from one relay to another ?

Are ther modded communities or subreddits like they are on lemmy ?

Do you need an app to be constantly connected in the background like briar messenger or all content is hosted on the relays?

No I want people to be able to block my post just as I can block other people's posts, but I don't need a moderator to block either my posts or other people's posts to be seen by everybody else engaging in that discussion, thread, theme, hashtag, what ever you name it.

When blocking is done at an individual level it doesn't silence or shutdown views or ideas from the discussions, every individual is free to not engage with people or ideas they don't agree with, but they shouldn't have the power to block those ideas for everybody else.

Isn't ZeroNet a dead archived project ?

Thanks, at least this is a helpful response, Will check it out!

No this federation experiment is at the end for me.

I don't believe in the federation model anymore. I was looking for a p2p protocol like a big bitorrent swarm, something more decentralized where no one has power over the discussions. I want to filter the content I want to consume. I dont't need someone else to decide what I should or should not read. I was hoping for an open network where every node have the same leverage and you only mod your own feed.

You can't escape moderation and censorship in lemmy. If a moderator of a certain big community has a certain heavy bias towards a subject and moderates accordingly. you are just bared from such discussions. communities suffer from the same network effects as social media do. I can take heat and shitty people but I can't stand silencing.

I might check nostr. is it app relient ??

That's actually a lie. according the NYT the uncommitted organizers who met with Harris before her rally in Michigan requested an arms embargo on Israel.

What do you expect from AIPAC and Billionaires funded Democratic candidate ?

same old same old with Biden's genocidal policies. Not that the majority of leftists in America care to push the democrats to stop arming Israel. as long as she is not a Republican that's enough to earn their vote.

The hypocrisy of a country that joined WWII to free Europe from fascism and stop the genocide of the Jews. To end up funding them and becoming complicit of committing genocide on other people.

So After calling me a Russian Bot now you are calling me a Tankie, what's next an ISIS spokesperson ??

Arab or Muslim Americans who believe that an AIPAC backed candidate will reign in on Israel and its genocide in Gaza are not only naive but also delusional

Funny how liberals cry about propaganda when their immoral support of genocide is challenged. the 50 thousand or so dead in Gaza are but a fraction of atrocities commited by the US and the NATO countries all around the world.

Common, everyone knows she is an establishment politician, pushed by hundreds of millions of Israeli money and the military industrial complex. she has no empathy to the tens of thousands of children being bombed in Gaza with American money and American made bombs.
