maybe you could integrate some from here instead of (or in addition to) rolling your own https://www.extremelyfungible.com

i don't really think that donating to X instead of Y can be considered evil
it's just laziness unfortunately
proton pretty much handles itself
sometimes it's also corporate greed, see payday
hey, thanks for this π
too many focus on the "good" of valve/steam for linux, ignoring that it's proprietary & centralized
how much are you selling them for, also take sats/XMR?
you can't *hear* a pictureβ¦

i found a #FOSS game while browsing #F-Droid (though i ended up playing on PC, as it's a cross-platform #Godot game!)
it's a coding puzzle game where you solve "Gava" bugs (a Java-like language) β
short if you are a developer, but very well polished & fun β¨
go check it out here:

more fuel for #gamedevstr π
things like the NAP and small/limited/no government
i think those are keys to anarchism regardless of economic structure leaning
the main difference being that i consider corporations in the same regard as government
i'm a communist, who agrees with some stuff from libertarianism ππΉ
good on you for calling it out, proprietary software is inherently centralized and as such antithetical to bitcoin's ideals
i saw a number of issues that concerned me:
## Pro-Censorship
the CEO has made pro-censorship remarks regarding the platform ([source](https://www.npr.org/2021/01/22/958877682/fast-growing-alternative-to-facebook-twitter-finds-right-wing-surge-messy ))
you are also able to report users ([source](https://support.mewe.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053010433-Report-a-user )), pages ([source](https://support.mewe.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052758754-Report-a-page )), and groups ([source](https://support.mewe.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053542593-Report-a-group )) to MeWe that violate their ToS
(a ToS which includes speech restrictions, on for example Gambling and Pornographic content)
## Not Decentralized
the reputation system used by MeWe ([Soshi](https://support.mewe.com/hc/en-us/articles/32108053992599-What-is-Soshi-and-how-does-it-work-with-MeWe )) is actually centralized as it requires "Reputation Providers" to register with a central SOSHI reputation system, and then must be approved by SOSHI administrators ([source](https://soshi.network/docs ))
MeWe is also missing key indicators of being decentralized, such as alternate clients (DualCamera app is also by MeWe) ([source](https://support.mewe.com/hc/en-us/articles/31641827592855-Can-I-take-my-MeWe-identity-to-other-apps ))
but i can just chalk that up to being new
## KYC
although based on a somewhat legitiment looking protocol called [DSNP](https://dsnp.org ) ([source](https://projectliberty.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22565363730836-How-does-Frequency-Access-work ))
i couldn't find a way to create an ["universal handle"](https://projectliberty.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22565363741716-What-is-my-Social-Identity ) besides through providing KYC to Frequency Access
which appears to be the reccomended way to start ([source](https://support.mewe.com/hc/en-us/articles/31640448917655-What-is-Continue-with-Frequency )) ([source](https://support.mewe.com/hc/en-us/articles/31640605683991-Is-signing-in-with-Continue-with-Frequency-safe ))
## Proprietary/Anti-FOSS
i couldn't find source code for any of the MeWe apps
hopefully it seems that Soshi's github is coming soon
additionally they seem to be openly hostile towards those looking for the source too:
according to their [terms of service](https://mewe.com/cms/terms ) you may not
> Attempt to decipher, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any of the software used to provide the Site or Services.

i did a fair amount of research on this, but maybe you could provide some insights as an ambassador π

i was wondering what the nostr community thinks of #MeWe
i had some concerns which i got to talk to one of their ambassadors about:
it sounds like the new CEO is moving the platform in a more positive direction, but still too many red flags for me at the moment π©
what do you think? #asknostr
#GM #askingnostr #socialmedia #decentralization
do you take XMR?
no issue if not π
grocery stuff is something needed for bitcoin IMO
before my time, but zapathons?
welcome to nostr! π
you should find a strong likeminded community here πͺπ«
Hello everyone here! My name is Annie and I like bunnies! I also like collecting seashells. I enjoy cooking a quick meal for the kiddos. Some people think I'm trash and fake, but you might like me if you get to know me.
I want to thank nostr:nprofile1qqsfnnh6v3dspqtnwv3e46aed5k3nypyfx2wtet92ekg9szt3hr9k4qpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqffwaehxw309ahx7um5wgcnvdekxvcnjdfkxucnwvpwv9c8qtnjw4hx7mnxd36hstnfduv3xupd for introducing me to Nostr.

how do you feel about reading? #asknostr
personally i find joy in reading when i learn something that i can apply to my life (that's why i stick to nonfiction/selfhelp books)
#GM #bookstr #reading
let's hope enough enter the classroom π―π
also try posting with #checkmyaddy and #testzap to see if someone can zap you, but just not me
i didn't realize this was an introduction, i thought it was an asknostr, so let me add:
welcome to nostr! π
