Are you sure you want to talk about facades when you use LLMs to generate your comments?

Oh wait, you finally got banned for doing that.

Reddit links don't work for those using VPNs, and we shouldn't give reddit direct traffic. Please, post using an alternative Reddit front end if you must link to them.

Signal via Molly seems like the best option at the moment. Molly is a third party client that allows for even more protections like database encryption and getting rid of Google firebase notifications, for example.

Molly is fantastic. Maybe someday I'll be able to convince people to get on Matrix, but we're not there yet. Plus there's all of the metadata that comes along with using Matrix.

Yep, pretty much. It used to be doable, but these days it's very difficult. It's certainly not impossible, but one slipup and you could get on the deny list forever. It's just not worth it, since emails are usually pretty mission critical, imo.

I would buy it. 🐧

Fedora CoreOS is meant to be just for containers if you want to go this route.

The "user" you're responding to uses LLMs to generate comments. Look at their profile if you want to see what I mean.

Distrobox perhaps? Not sure about the android side of things. For true "sandboxing" something like docker is probably your best bet.

It should be noted that email servers, no matter the setup, require you to follow strict standards to achieve proper delivery. It's very easy to get blacklisted, and it's next to impossible to get off of said blacklist once you're on it.

I used to host my own mail server with this, but it got to be too much to get my emails to actually send. I was always wondering if my email was actually delivered or if it was silently bounced or sent to spam. Email is the only thing I'm not willing to self host.

Both Proton and Tuta have almost all of those except for maps. For maps, just use Organic Maps or OsmAnd.

I use all of mine separately anyway, because I care about my privacy and it works better. Google products have become so enshittified and bloated that most alternatives are faster at this point.
