  • Mullvad and Tor and it isn’t close. I use it to circumvent bans on social media when I say something too communist. Don’t alter it with addons in any way its perfect as it is.

    If google, reddit, facebook, etc. can’t figure out I’m circumventing them I consider that good enough.

    I also like Mullvad for most cases it has adblock by default which lowers the annoyances.

    Many websites will be pissy if you’re secure as possible. Tor and Mullvad browser make them very pissy often. Its best to have a backup browser for that and normal activities. Librewolf and Ungoogled Chromium are good choices there. More secure, but fingerprintable enough that sites don’t get pissy.













  • Seconding simplex. Having a built in way to obfuscate IP is very nice. But its more for privacy extremism and small group chats for people in vulnerable situations, matrix is best for most situations e.g. community and interest groups. I also had some ease with setting up simplex with my grandma, funny enough. Not needing to make an account made it much easier for her.

    Hope Lemmy gets a simplexchat field one day!

    Well, cool, but you’re a highschooler so you don’t have much real world experience, though being a closeted queer as a highschooler is definitely a hellish and radicalizing experience, I’ve been there. Also, as a trans person thats been transitioned for a long time, you begin to realize the number of allies you have is very few and debate is very much a waste of time (fun for cis people, terrifying for trans people) and its far more important to build independence and resilience for the community and remove awful people from your life. Hexbear has mutual aid drives and housing support groups that have saved many trans people from homelessness and even their lives. Think: does SJW or lemmy.world do the same, or are they just all hot air and complain about ‘tankies’ in a vague way while doing nothing? Is it fine to be rude to people who think debating your existence and the existence of other marginalized people is good fun?
