Registration and Geolocking the original source would get "around" the rules for now. ( what happens afterwards, 'isn't my fault' )  But this is just a foot in the door.

We shouldn't have to 'get around' exercising our rights. 

Also, in this case, exercising your rights by getting around their suppression of information can get your door kicked in by the FBI and a local team of goons in riot gear. 

Best case scenario, they shoot your dog and laugh about it.

If im home. They wont laugh. 

Would i lose? Sure, but i wont go down without a fight.   Someone enters my house, i'm not going to ask for ID first. 

It would be nice if it went down like that once and it turned into a massacre for them. But usually ONE cop gets a flesh wound and the entire family who is the subject of the no-knock warrant ends up leaving in body bags.

I suppose you'll just have to host them offshore, as many are doing now for various types of things.

I've heard that Singapore is the new hotness when it comes to staying under the radar, because it is on the boundary between the US commies and Chinese commies, piously claims fealty to both, and tends to be left alone by both.

Tor/I2P is still an option for hosting stuff on-shore.  Unless you screw up its hard to find you.

Darn, wish we could edit :)   

Include FreeNet in that. 

Oh, i know there are trade-offs you have to make for 'net safety'. 

Bla bla bla 'apple is going to ban our app" bla bla whine whine whine "gonna make my own phone!" whine whine whine bla bla bla

So you make a responsive web page and dont need an app.. runs anywhere on anything..   Its 2022. its not that hard..  Native apps are a form of lock-in unto themselves.  

I know there was rumor of his own phone line at one point in the recent past.  I saw some tester units waved around at one point.  Fat ugly things shaped like a Tesla truck.  I wonder if this is just an excuse for its official launch and to get people to buy it.   Nothing is ever as it seems.

If he really was truly upset over apple and google and wanted to come up with a line quickly and easily, i know of several Chinese companies that make phones  ( any market, from low end to flagship level ) that for a few extra bucks woudl brand them for you and produce tons of them.  Would be an instant phone line.

I bet even Samsung would, for the right price, they even have an alternative to Android..

I guess the only advantage to a 'store' is the captive and consistent payment system. 

No, they have no idea what mastodon is. its just the new buzz word. " we can use that mastodon thing and attack maga!"

And i suspect we are going to see the general concept of federation collapse here soon and growth of a siloed world..  Just a feeling. 

Mastodon is the first Mastodon-compatible software in the twitter-like space.  It's cool because you can spin up your own Mastodon installation and have a commewnity.  The downside is your commewnity can be blacklisted by the Mastodon devs, which also blacklists your server from the entire Mastodon "fediverse".  What servers does this happen to?  The ones that don't toe the communist "demokrat" line.  So you can be in the federated Mastodon space, but only if you are a commie.
