In the last year Google has banned: the Element app, the LBRY app, and several Fediverse apps. If you get all of your apps from a single corporation, be it Google or Apple, you should make an effort to change that.

If you have an Android phone F-Droid is an alternative app repository, and it’s very easy to install! All of the previously mentioned apps have been available from F-Droid throughout being dropped from the Play Store.

If you have an iPhone, please consider other options for your next device. Apple does not respect you enough as a user to consider you possibly more capable of deciding what you should install on your phone than they are. That is absurd; please stop rewarding this behavior with your money.

This is the future. A laptop in your pocket. #pinephone

When I joined @LBRYcom@twitter.com in 2017 it was a tiny platform trying to decentralize the world of internet videos. In 2020 it saw a meteoric rise in popularity when YT doubled down on purging users.

Now my LBRY audience is almost larger than my YT audience.

It sounds unconstitutional because it is. The government should not be able to buy geolocation data gathered by the apps on your phone without a warrant. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/22/us/politics/dia-surveillance-data.html
