We’re a collection of free thinking, high IQ individuals united against hate and fascism. We’re basically his worst enemy. If he changes his mind and decides to ban Tik Tok he’ll definitely come for decentralized social media next.

    I beg of you to understand how painfully cringe this is.

    Oh no, I guess that means the code base will have to move from GitHub to Codeberg. I don’t see an issue with that.

    Seeing as both Github and GitLab are run by publicly listed US companies, getting off those platforms removes the risk.

    More likely it would be used as a targeting operation. They’re scanning social media to target resistance organizers. To do that, they need places that like minded people will talk shit about the regime. They don’t care about people talking shit, they’re looking for the ones saying ‘hey lets get together and do something about it’. It’s the public version of the dark web infiltration. When you get ties between the two, someone knocks on your door.

    Who gives a fuck? He can ban it from official appstores, perhaps order providers to block some major instances… so what?

    The population present on Lemmy / the Fediverse is already a conglomerate of anti government, anti authority highly autistic nutjobs who wouldn’t in the slightest be hampered by this. Just use a VPN / TOR / build a Lemmy client on Gopher or Gemini / access it through a SSH session on a VPS in northeast Wakanda… the possibilities are endless.

    But it won’t be necessary in the first place because I bet my left nut that nobody in the Trump junta has ever heard about Lemmy.

    The Fediverse is already obscure… Lemmy? That is on the same level obscure as the study of south Polynesian penis tattoos.
