  • Ask HN: Banned from Facebook
    I created a facebook account about 6 months ago for one reason only: to interact with a rare disease group that setup shop on facebook. I post once a month at most, last month to share a dissertation in the research group and 2 months ago to discuss fitness trackers in the parent group. I donated money to the foundation when they were asking for donations and I read new posts from time to time using an app on the... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • How to follow without reddit?
    Friendly app does a pretty good job with hiding ads etc. Https://friendly.io/. Source: 11 months ago
  • Trying to convince my FIL that a guy on Facebook selling a "cure for diabetes" is a scammer. Can anyone help me provide him solid "proof?" I know it's stupid but he's stubborn.
    Friendly Social Browser https://friendly.io/ is for mobile, you would delete the Facebook app and use Friendly instead. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Current FOSS list - let me know what you think!
    Frost - Facebook Mobile Site wrapper. No longer supported, unfortunately. Friendly is a decent, if non-FOSS replacement. It has the edge with keyword filters. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I created MacTube: a native YouTube app for Macs
    Nice and simple! I’ll give it a try. I’ve been using FriendlyStreaming (https://friendly.io), but I don’t really like it. Your app is much simpler and to the point. Source: about 2 years ago

  • Inflection-2.5: meet the best personal AI
    If you want uncensored.. https://gab.ai. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • This dude made an alternative Reddit on a blockchain. Crazy
    I don't understand how you can stop spam yet not have the structures in place to censor forbidden views or opinions. Without admin moderation you get 50 million flavours of porn (like old Usenet servers) some of which will be illegal porn, a massive slice of QAnon and conspiracy (like Odyssee and gab.ai), information and propaganda useful to terrorists (like the old totse.com) and dark web drug markets.

  • Bring back Internet comment sections!
    This already exists in the "Dissenter browser" made by the folks over at gab.ai. This could work as a third party extension, but direct support from Brave would instantly draw controversy as it's perceived that the only reason Dissenter exists is to support toxic radical right wingers.

  • I agree with them, but I can see liberals hate for the second season in this post
    I feel that there is still space for a platform for content creators which is away from any restrictions. I was talking to a lawyer friend of mine about drafting a user agreement which makes it impossible for anyone to sue any content creator or the platform, or for any government or group to force removal of content. but in the end we figured that we would need a back to back agreement with our service...
