The ‘Most Massive Attack On Free Speech’ Is Happening Right Now, And The Twitter Files Crew Is Mighty Quiet

For the last five years, we had to endure an endless, breathless parade of hyperbole regarding the so-called “censorship industrial complex.” We were told, repeatedly and at high volume…

if ur interested in working on a federated alternative to discord, which keeps the user in control of their account/identity and doesn't have a complex DAG and uses tried-and-tested tech instead of re-inventing the wheel, I invite u to check out and perhaps contribute to
polyproto.org !

it's a project that I've been involved in for a bit and been following for much longer, we want to create something that can provide a real alternative to Discord without compromising on user experience and control for the end user :)

Watched Sinners, yesterday.

The very Best movie i have watched since, i dunno, Mad Max Fury Road?

There are Very few movies, recently, almost none, to be honest, that gave me the push to keep telling stories, to keep My voice to "do that, but, Me, my voice".
