Thank you for the links, I had found a few of these but some are new. The basic idea is there, I'll see if any of these can work for us. I'm growing more convinced though that hosting a whole app for this super simple use case might not be worth it, I think we might pivot to just hosting a really basic static page for it.

This is way too overkill for what we need. I'm sorry, I've been intentionally vague about the context for this but I guess it's too unclear. We're an activist group planning a protest. We might have to get this set up literally tomorrow and every penny comes out of (mostly my) pocket. We're also all paranoid about opsec and anonymity, which is why the requirement about avoiding corporate services is there. Perhaps I should have posted this in a privacy focused comm instead, I apologize.

It's pretty overkill for what we need, and it would still fall under "corporate" for us. At that point I could just go for the static Notion page which I can get live in 5m for free.

We can set up all of those but again, that's kinda expensive for us rn. What's the benefit of using a CMS like Joomla versus wishthis, or even a basic Caddy/Nginx webserver with a static page?

I believe you need root to access those, plus a file manager that supports it (I use Mixplorer which does). Otherwise, as someone else suggested, you can access them from a computer over ADB or MTP.

They're insufferable commies who keep attacking other parts of the Fediverse by... uh... commenting on posts and... ehm... responding aggressively to bigoted content. They've got all these sick ass stickers that we don't and they keep flexing them in our replies which drives me crazy.

Their instance is an authoritarian distopia where queer people feel safe and they don't waste time debating the same wrong liberal talking points every time. Also you can just call someone a dumbass if you disagree with them: a totalitarian nightmare.

Worst of all they go around straight up bullying other Fediverse users: right now I'm locked in a bathroom stall that a Hexbear user shoved me into. I've been here for an hour missing my maths class, and I've had to drink the toilet water. My tummy is starting to hurt. Stay away from Hexbear users...

Nice! Kudos to Proton for not abandoning their promise to publish their sources... Hoping to see Calendar on there soon too.

This is such an amazing article, The Verge's staff is still capable of some excellent journalism.

Even if its configured correctly to totally obfuscate the data and the final endpoint of the traffic it's still blatantly obvious that a VPN is in use.

Which is why Chinese users don't use standard VPNs, they use obfuscated proxies with protocols like Shadowsocks and V2Ray, which mask the tunneled traffic as innocuous HTTPS traffic.

Support for this in core Lemmy has been discussed many times. There's an open issue for it that's been gathering dust for a while. Some apps already implement this on the client side I think, not jerboa though.

Other people in that thread have pointed out that it isn't showing posts being delivered to Threads despite the block. That should be testable with other instances, but not Threads since it's not receiving any content from Mastodon at the moment. The concerning thing there is the user still being able to view content from people they've blocked, but that seems to be a bug if it's reproducible.

In the EU companies can't scrape personally identifiable information without consent, even if it's already publicly available. IANAL, and there's probably ways they can sneak around the GDPR, but at least it's not a free for all. It's unclear though how it works for federation. It's definitely not the same legally though.
