fedi politics
i think we consider the very real possibility that one day soon, the fediverse, a free and open source queer oasis on the internet, may become a target of right wingers and megacorps, we could have our servers raided, DNS blocked, removed from hosting providers in the US or Germany, the state could do many things to fuck our day up.One thing we can do now is start implementing tor and i2p gateways in a gradual way, first as an alternative way of logging in and later, do federation thru the deep web itself. This also removes a lot of the costs asosciated with hosting, because a VPS and Domain name both cost money, costs that can be greatly reduced by running a home server over Tor or i2p.
We shouldn't take for granted the connections we've made here and build other ways of staying in touch, and moving forward establish longer lasting circles of trust, where people are invited thru friends of friends.
