Right now I've completely given up candy and soda for about 3 years now. I hate the business practices of candy companies and how they target children and make their shit as addictive as possible. They use ultra vibrant packaging to get kids eyes to lock to the product and they know kids will beg for it until they get it and they put it on their eye level and on the sides of the checkout lines.

The entire candy thing is just scummy and I hate it so much. I personally see it as legal drugs for children.

"UNITS RECEIVED"

Nova launcher (super customizable and clean and you can unlock premium with revanced Manager)

KWGT (allows you to create custom widgets for your phone and has a very good editor so you can jam pack all the info you want into one widget)

Revanced Manager (ad free YouTube with extra features like return dislike and sponsor block and more)

Xmanager (free Spotify premium)

Vlc (best way to play video and audio files)

Fdroid (alternative app store which allows you to basically find a clone of most apps but open source and privacy friendly, plus a ton of other privacy respecting apps)

Aurora store (Google Play store but more customization and less Google tracking stuff attached)

Seal (allows you to download videos and stuff from basically any big site)

Sorry my bad. Yeah you are correct I did mean 2 communities but I guess it was 3.

 

I've seen the controversy where lemmy.world defederated from 2 piracy instances. So since there is no one big owner what is stopping someone creating a instance that host CP or other illegal stuff?

From what it seems like is instances can try to defederate from those instances but the only justice that can happen seems only from government/police but that only works in certain countries because more can just pop up bypassing the defederation.

I'm kinda concerned if this issue has no solution because it's a pretty sharp edge of the double edge sword of having instances anyone can create and host.

Because someone can just host a CP instance and now that instance even if defederated from other instances still provides a safe space for pedophiles to share content and other illegal stuff.

Also what is stopping someone from creating an instance that has a slur for its name and then go around in other federated instances and post comments and make post. Like you don't want someone named "NAZI_LOVER@n-word.f-slur

Moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone because of this. And also I kinda got fed up with the outages even though it's not their fault. Glad to see the federation thing is working as intended.
