I should also note archive.is had a scandal where the owner is using the site to ddos a blog in retaliation for possibly exposing them and thus putting them at risk of sanctions.
Archive.is allegedly accusing Janni Patokallio's grandfather of being a Nazi war criminal.
I've had some problems with it on Brave but I wouldn't categorically say it doesn't work. I'm open to other options but the only one I know (.org) has a history of helping bad actors memory hole things.
I don't know why you're catching heat for this, gender was for objects until relatively recently, and application to humans is almost entirely the doing of the pedophile 'sexologist' 'Dr' John Money. Humans and animals have a sex, vehicles and other objects have a gender.
Accepting leftist framing leaves them room to say that sex and gender can be different, and we should be categorically rejecting that. They can't argue for that if we don't even accept the basic premise that it exists in humans.
It's funny 'cause what the average NPC typically hears when someone calls something problematic is just "it's bad". The nuance is lost on them because problems aren't there for them to solve, they're just things to complain about until someone else fixes it. So why it's a problem doesn't matter to them.
I guess relative is relative, but gender occasionally being used as a synonym for biological sex in humans was still a pre-modern thing. When you name your grammar classes masculine and feminine it's pretty natural for someone to reverse engineer that construction in their heads and start applying it back to people when they're trying to sound fancy or are squeamish about saying sex.
It's the split from biological sex into its own category of bullshit that was partly Money's depraved contribution. Which in turn lead to a vastly increased usage.
I just set up an instance and am having my Discord group test it. If you're self hosting the rules are all yours (their only attempt at setting terms there is don't misrepresent your server as theirs, don't misuse branding, just basic legalese like that) - you can be the based privilege-triggering shitlord you always wanted to be and nobody can tell you no.
Depends on how the network has their servers configured. Many networks mask host names & ip addresses. Some don't. EFnet does not, and I haven't had problems in 15 years or more.

It works for me on Brave, but archive links tend to give me trouble if I'm on VPN.

I've found ghostarchive to be pretty good.
They took explicit countermeasures to break it, but I think either Brave worked around it or the admin gave up the fight.
But but but archive is trying to archive the internet! Save our history whatever the fuck that means (as if archive.org couldn't easily be gamed)
Gender doesn’t exist. Don’t use your enemies’ language.

'Problematic' too. Is it difficult? No, it's problematic. Is it inconvenient? No, it's problematic. Is it controversial? No, it's problematic.
They're trying to conflate a dozen different words with different meanings so you never quite know what they're saying.

I mean.. irc is still around. I still chat on it almost everyday. It'd be nice to see some resurgence.
Stoat/revolt seems like it could work but I don’t know if they do this gender nonsense. But you can self host it at least.

How’s Matrix?
Matrix routinely forces people to enter encryption keys when logging in under threat of losing history.
I won't give discord my ID and if they ever require it then I just won't use it all.
Telegram should capitalize on this and expand their app
Doesn't TG require your mobile number for signups? That's still going to be 1 too many data points for people.
Anyone try Teamspeak?
I recently learned people hate TeamSpeak as it could get you subjected to cyberattacks if the server owner is malicious as they have your IP address.
Having your IP address revealed isn't really much of a risk if your router is up to date.
That is insanely not true for several reasons that never occurred to the people who designed the internet when it was just for 110+ IQ white people.
Explain.
What reasons are those?
I would say it's more of a privacy issue than a hacking concern. I don't want my country, region, internet provider to be publicly displayed.
Doesn't IRC have the same problem? Anyone know if they made workarounds for that?
