I'd also appreciate some instruction on how I might join in the live chat so that I could join in on the episode where something like Bastyon is discussed.

This is definitely a good idea, but on your other post you mentioned that DNS could be turned off, and one way to solve that is simply adding the IP address to your host's file. Mind you, that's not the best option, but it is an option.

Why is it a good idea?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

because a social media that cannot be controlled by anyone means that anything can be said

Right, and that's what mastodon does. And Tor prevents its censorship

But, mastodon and lemmy require javascript which is discouraged on tor and do require that DNS be uncensored too.

Is that true? ActivityPub doesn't require JavaScript. I'm sure that you can browse mastodon and Lemmy without JavaScript. Just need a JS-free client or alternative frontend.

Yeah, an alt frontend can work
