@thendrix the so-called left that push identity politics and divisive rhetoric are not left. They are aligned with big tech and the most brutal and fascistic industrialists, and have been for a long time now.
The people pushing identity politics should probably have a name, "identity left"???
they can't see past the cartoonish depictions of people that are pushed by mostly #bigsocial and corporate media. theyre not "left" ... but useful idiots.

#Security #Nerds and #Experts of #Mastodon, I have a #Question for you.
.
.
I am attempting to de-#Google my digital life (as much as is possible at the moment). I got myself an #Android #MobilePhone that does not have Google services installed on it, and I am using #FDroid, #AuroraStore, #APKPure, etc. to get the apps, and using the #AppBrain #AdDetector and #DuckDuckGo's #App #Tracking #Protection (#Beta built into their mobile browser).
.
I am doing my best to use #minimal apps, and only getting ones that are not security focused when necessary. I am not logging into Google, or any other #BigSocial/ #BigData services except when necessary.
.
My question is, are there any #SMS / #Texting apps that allow you to login on the #Web and #sync messages to your phone (even if only on the same network), and a #keyboard that has #VoiceToText that does not use Google or #Microsoft? I am currently using #SwiftKey, but only until I figure out the #T9 app I am using with the KB (HYBRID phone running Android 11). -
The gut-response is always a #Twitter vs @Mastodon comparison. I fell for that initially, but quickly realized how Mastodon was a game-changer on a new level.

Fundamentally, Twitter has destroyed the #Web20 model while Mastodon has unleashed the #Fediverse (a #Web30 paradigm collective).
#BigSocial and #BigTech (in general) have opened the eyes of many, moving the innovation pendulum back to the #Web 😀

One sees many references to the conscious decision by @Gargron to not include in Mastodon any algorithm that selects which posts you'll see on your feed.
But Mastodon does have an algorithm that drives how your feed gets populated, however basic.
And I think it can be iterated.
Read my long post at
