So, im kinda curious ~~(preocupied)~~, regarding how is the feddi-verse standing in regards to this new threath to freedoms and privacy in general. To the point in which some of us are seriously considering leaving the "clear" net altogether in favor of freenet, tor (even if already kinda compromised by the feds), etc.

So... what now?

Wait and see I guess? Id imagine any compliance is going to be the onus of instance admins, so time will tell how it happens, especially depending on the instance's geographic location. Not to mention, I'd think the fediverse is small enough to skate for a bit

I always hanged around non-mainstream forms of social media. The main issue with that is that the lack of "normies" soon transforms them in bubbles where extreme or controversial ideas are normalized.

Ik, but even then is better than having' no privacy at all. I got kicked from my first university for participating in protests regarding the "grape" of a student by a faculty member, i was one of the unlucky ones selected to be "examples", hell its even a law now that all protest are illegal and reason to inmediate expulsion.

So yeah, liberty and privacy, nothing less.
