Thanks for that. I have always been a lurker on reddit and Lemmy (and the other platforms). It’s really pushed me to join and have a voice here.

Oh man, those poor folks still on X, fighting and hoping that they still have the freedom of expression. Have they not seen any WWII movies? Just sitting around won’t do anything to stop the hate and what the President and his crew are up to.

Wow I had a whole message written to ask for information and here you lay it out so perfectly. Now I’m in paralysis mode though and can’t decide if I want to self host…

If you have any tips, resources, or a simple breakdown of what I should focus on, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!

Thanks for the information. I just signed up using a public matrix but will look into bridge as well and possibly use Oracle free tier to set something up instead of on my homelab. Thanks again!!

Let’s break it down. Just because a solution is European, it doesn’t automatically mean it’s better or more trustworthy when it comes to your data and privacy. While some European solutions might be great, it’s not a guarantee that they’re all created equal or that they’re more committed to protecting your information.

It’s not like all European companies are die-hard advocates for privacy, fairness, and openness. Each one has its own approach and priorities, just like their North American counterparts. So, it’s essential to do your research and evaluate each solution on its own merits, rather than making assumptions based on its geographical origin.

That being said, if you’re looking for a temporary solution while you search for something you can really trust, a European option might be a good stopgap. It’s not a permanent fix, but it can help you bridge the gap until you find a solution that truly aligns with your values and priorities. Just remember to keep looking and don’t get too comfortable – your data and privacy are worth the extra effort to find the right fit.

Before I clicked the link, which was a questionable life choice, I’m wondering what on earth you’d be doing. Was this person actually just chillin’ in the backyard and thinking “damn, this Miller Lite is going through me too quickly to bother getting up and going back inside.”

Has anyone found a decent option to replace PayPal?

You’re right, maybe it’s a dream to have a Canadian GDPR-like policy. I once tried to get Canadian Tire to delete my data and they declined the request. 🤦🏼
