Antix, pretty cool Debian-based distro made by (at least nominally self proclaimed) antifascists. I guess we could also count some socialist-backed distros like Nova linux.
Beyond distros though, I’d say there are plenty of left leaning people working on various projects, such as Gnome.
Maybe depends on which server implementation you use, I could be out of date. I heard about Synapse, the “flagship” implementation, being heavier though you of course have the option to use one of the lighter weight implementations. Personally, I don’t self host and I am mostly going on second-hand information that I’ve read from people who do self host.
Both are options that I’m personally not too fond of, but can nonetheless respect that these probably fit the threat model of some people. Signal is not self hostable, not all that private (still better than whatsapp atleast), and it’s servers are located in the States. Does have some FOSS clients like molly atleast.
Matrix is a bit more complicated in my opinion. While the protocol itself is fine, the history behind it is what makes me not want to use it personally. Namely, it being a project that emerged from Amdocs, an Israeli telecommunications company previously suspected of eavesdropping and spying on people. While open-source and self-hostable, it has a network effect going on where everyone registers on the main instance and self-hosting is apparently incredibly resource intensive. Plus, most instances require you to give an email address.
Personally, I’d recommend looking into GNU Jami and XMPP. XMPP may not have encryption as a built-in component of the protocol in the way that it is with Matrix, it nonetheless exists as an option and there’s plenty of no-email-required instances. XMPP is also less resource intensive to self host should you wish to do that.
Jami doesn’t work with servers but is instead distributed and peer-to-peer along with being libre software. Only knock against this one is that the desktop client is based on electron, which isn’t a problem for me personally but there are people who’re nonetheless opinionated about that.
Some youtuber who makes a lot of money running defence for democrat entryist candidates.
This is so funny, this is exactly what liberals say to defend Joe Biden. If someone is against Mamdani for being a zionist, then it’s safe to assume they’re not Cuomo supporters given that Cuomo is also a zionist.
Mamdani, AOC, and Sanders are all zionists. Besides, half these entryist reform candidates still take money from other zionist groups like J-street.
Pretty much. They’re all liberals who exist to funnel momentum back into the imperialist project.
They have choice, the choice to not hitch themselves with NATO.
Having had the displeasure of speaking to some Ukrainians before, I can tell you they share the same views on race and ethnicity as some 19th century racialists. One straight up told me that people of different cultures have inherent racial “essences” and that ethnic Russians are just inherently bad because of that. 0 material analysis or understanding of how they ended up where they are today, just falling completely back on Nazi/Zionist-esque race science.
On top of that, Zelenskyy is a Zionist that would like Ukraine to be a “Big Israel”. The man is also a comprador. I knew from day one when I heard the West praising a guy I had never before heard of in my entire life that it was all bullshit without even looking into it further. Plus, the fact that the local right-wing pro-Israel parties were ride or die for Ukraine was also an early sign for me that I was right to be skeptical.
Personally, I think this is good. Obviously most people here already use some libre alternative or just access this via the web or dual boot, but most non-computer savvy people are dead set with keeping to what they already use either because of work or simply being more comfortable sticking with what they know.
Plus, there’s probably cases where the web versions aren’t going to be viable. Kind of ironic that so many linux people simultaneously make fun of the ChromeOS workflow where everything depends on browser-based services while dismissing people who can’t switch fully because needing the MS suite with “just use the browser version”.
