• Ask HN: FOSS Projects Worth Donating To?

  I would opt for the serval project [1]. Having a mobile based mesh network facility that is not controlled by neither corporations nor governments is of paramount importance imho. [1] https://servalproject.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What are your thoughts on Satellite Phones?

  This app was used to organise protesters in Kuala Lumpur. They anticipated the government would shut down the cell network…which they did. As I understand it (I cannot find the article about it) several thousand people used this application on their android phones to communicate during the protest without internet or cell service…it creates a phone-to-phone network. I don’t know if it is still downloadable. The... Source: over 2 years ago

• Frugal tips on getting a new cell phone?

  Http://servalproject.org/ It's a way for devices to talk to one another without paying for a service. Look for Mesh networks in your area, they provide free service. You can also make yourself a mesh node or support to help spread it. Source: over 2 years ago

  > whatever that Ruby-based alternative was, that Zuck famously invested in, but to which I have zero memory of the name right now I think you're referring to Diaspora. https://diasporafoundation.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(social_network). - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Imgur Is About to Wipe a Ton of Porn From the Internet

• Twitter will remove accounts created solely to promote other social platforms

  I remember making similar comments about Diaspora vs Facebook a decade ago, but people are... lazy. Yeah, let's go with lazy. Source: over 1 year ago

• Stop

  To be fair, its not Mastodon, its the #Fediverse. Mastodon is arguably the least rich platfrom on the 'verse. IMHO Friendica is where its at, and you can still communicate with all the twitter refugees on Mastodon, as well as meater content on services likeDiaspora*, not to mention full integration with Lemmy (which works fairly similar to Reddit) while Masto you can see lemmy posts and replies without having to...

• Open source social media

  Several upstarts have tried to capture what you're talking about. Diaspora was an early entry, the Fediverse is another that seems to be gaining momentum in a way Diaspora never did. Source: over 1 year ago
