I don’t think we can expect commenters to be as nuanced as an academic specializing in genocides.

On the legal front, it is to me morally obvious that that comment was pretty measured and deleting it was fucked. If you claim to do a fucked thing for legal reason, I think it’s fair to demand evidence that you are under legal duress. Is there a history of feddit specifically or german fedi sites.in general being hammered for “antisemitic” comments?

The answer to that would determines how much I am pissed at german authorities for misapplying the law or at feddit admins for being biased and/or cowards.

Whatever the point of “BuyFromEU” is, this aint it.

The Wikipedia is doing fine.

Mumble literally still works. The last 20 years of UI design were a mistake, we must return to tradition!

qBitTorrent in I2P only mode is free and safe.

It’s slow and limited selection, but there’s good stuff.

The PrivaScore Project provides ratings for Keyboard Apps, and there are multiple options in the top tier.

FediLab is an explicitly general Fediverse app, though it’s not designed for lemmy. There’s also plenty of native cross-fedi support, as all activities are translated into ActivityPub events.

Frankly I’d recommend a separate app for Lemmy-likes and Mastodon-likes. The difference between following communities and following accounts seems to result in a lot of jank, if crammed into one app.

Wow, the first project to have found a use case for cryptocurrency!

Just kidding. This is trash. I don’t care about fancy privacy features if the backend is tied to the Ethereum scam machine. Use Signal or Matrix.

Okay, Wero does not have a web application at the moment. Valid criticism.

I think it’s great that you use privacy-enabling tech, and developing these is valuable in my eyes. But nothing about your setup screams “mass adoption” to me. I’ll spare everyone the mobile OS adoption charts, and browser adoption isn’t looking better.

You just can’t put out an on-par mobile service nowadays without an app in Play and Apple’s store. I don’t like it, but it is what it is.

This is a non-argument, even though it made it onto Wikipedia. A mass-adopted Taler-based payment system would also require mobile support, which would be gatekept by Google/Apple.

Breaking oligopolist control over the mobile ecosystem is a separate battle and applies to both Wero & Taler.

That’s not to say that Wero couldn’t do more in this regard, e.g. publish to F-Droid.

…pirating them at all instead of learning Inkscape & Krita.

Yes, deceitful corporations are truly a troubling new phenomenon, which brings them closer to the baseline for evil: democratic governments

High IQ politics hour over here.

Decent functionality, and it didn’t get flagged most of the time I used it.

can recommend YTDLnis, as others have. If web-based is important to you, cobalt dot tools seems great and trustworthy.
