I've been in this argument before, and despite not being one to bolster or support piracy, the EU or National alternatives are non-existant.

So yes, i will use piracy to access the content.

Were we expecting a different attitude?

I see...

Well, opting for a solution rather than other is mostly a personal decisison.

You need to weight the pros and cons for yourself.

Instructions unclear.

You say repost again?

Thank you!!

more like mastodon and lemmy, maybe bluesky, over META and reddit.

I don't think i've looked at pleroma.

Theres a Fork still being worked on.

I thought so to, until i was sent this.

Revanced Extended

I have to say, i am quite impressed with mastodon already, hopefully they add some QOL like native GIF usage etc.

Bluesky i'm a little bit on the fence about, but i got to say i'm inclined to give it a try

It's perfectly understandable, and it wouldn't be the internet if someone didn't throw some vitriol my way!

I'm not mad, annoyed or pissed, i'm just happy that i can find engagement, positive or not in my very first post!

I'm very hopefull and confident that i'm doing the right thing, even if i'm having reddit withdrawls symptons already!

But i'll get trough them!

Thank you!!!

The context, in this case, is quite important.

It feels like you locked in on that sentence and didn't read the thred.

That's the same thing as walking into a conversation and taking it entirely out of context before dropping a nuke on the subject.

I re-read my comment, and considering the whole context, i cannot see how someone would think i was saying i was leaving, particularly with the sentence that comes before.

This is the internet though.

I hope you have a great day.

like i said in my post, EU solutions are somewhat behind on its development, but the core tennants seem to be much better than their EU counterparts.

There will be limitations and cumbersome situations, but i was there when gmail started and it was absolute garbage... People using it, commiting to it, gave them the userbase and funds to develop their solutions.

I think you got us wrong... We're planning on joining and trying to understand it.

But hey, free vitriol!

i can't see anywere that it will work as a base SMS app on adroid...

could you show me some feature review where that is shown?

I went for the Proton Suite for email/cloud/password management solutions!

Got a 25% off the 2 year plan (might still be available) and i CANNOT recommend it enough.

with the addons available it works really really well.

Even on my android box i have fouund myself using it more than the subscriptions i had ( wich were most of them )

The image is a bit outdated.

I went to firefox and will very likely be moving on to librewolf soon.

The problem with the messaging apps is adoption as far as i can tell, and it'll be a cold day in hell before you can get someone to change from a free, easy to get option to something paid.

I will look into it though, as i am looking for a substitute on android for the normal SMS/messaging app, maybe threema has the desired functions.

Curious myself.

I've done reddit and Twitter, going for lemmy and bluesky.

Currently working on removing all my META connections so i can nuke that account to, and mastodon and pixelfy will surely follow.

For messaging i'm probably going for signal, being a long time user i'm probably just going to take a stand on whatsapp, if people want to message me, either move to signal or use SMS.

If you have a 7 yo system on Win10 you will very likely not have any issues moving to Linux.

Unfortunatly, as i have done the plunge on most of the solutions out there, i run a couple of integrated systems on my dual-pc setup that, unfortunatly, just don't have linux ports yet.

Currently i am battling the AndroidOS and Social networks problem. I have to admit, Proton has been a godsent, even though i do feel like they're a bit on the pricey side.

Windows (and the peripherals) and Steam are going to be tough for me though...

But i'll keep looking and trying new things, i'm sure we are on the verge of a massive direction shift, one that will push more EU/Open Source solutions to the forefront.

It is, i hope, just a matter of time now.
