The only real alternative is iOS, which extremely restrictive and limiting, UI is unintuitive and clunky to navigate, and a lack of Quality-of-life enhancing apps (like better keyboards or apps to password protect other apps)
There’s a bunch of small things that always get in the way. Lack of file system access for example, or FOSS app options.
Yeah, I do think some communists spend a little too much time defending the USSR’s controversies, but I think our time is much better spent focusing on the positives and asserting that this is what inspires us. Whether those human violations existed or not, we are not inspired by them and are irrelevant to what we believe.
Our support for the USSR comes from a place of wanting to learn from past experiences rather than glorify them. Unfortunately the USSR is gone, and we must do better today.
What about for services that is made public for anyone to use? VPN would not make sense here
Lemmy is still in active development and there are some missing features, but it is very usable. Your friends’ complaints, some are a bit exaggerated and some are really not that big of issues that will get resolved eventually.
There were a bunch of other comments on this post, then they suddenly disappeared? What happened? 😳
Security and self defense are also a concern of the working class, and that would also be managed by them.
I think immich and photoPrism are the best options at the moment
This blackout has been very disruptive. Most users, participating or not, were impacted, and became aware of what’s happening.
The only issue I see is that many users might think we’re throwing a pointless fit and don’t understand the value of third party apps and the APIs.
Hopefully people don’t get bored and the momentum doesn’t die
Time to shame the new admin for crossing the picket line. Disgusting behavior.
I use rsync, and for android I use rsync via Termux and cron.
This method gives me a ton of customization and control so I really enjoy it :)
This wouldn’t work for iPhone though :(

EDIT: I just realized you only specified that it shows who we block. But I guess this still leaves the question open: a list of instances who block us?
It looks like isn’t showing what I’m expecting. It shows “feddit.de” and other instances that blocked us as “linked instances”. I suppose this means we federate with them but they don’t with us.
Any way to see who blocks us?
