I use non-algorithmic RSS feeds nowadays. Used to use Feedly, I’ve since switched to Read You on Android.

Racism was in the linked post, someone was making racist posts and that’s why we got blocked

Hmm. Well, that’s too bad, but I could see why racist posts would make them upset.

Splattering racism everywhere is akin to being antagonistic. Free speech is good, but don’t be shocked if people block instances with racist spam.

Oh…wait, what is the bitrate of your file? After doing testing I’ve generally found that anything above 15 Mbps can cause problems over WiFi due to varying conditions unless you live in optimal networking conditions

Are you using raw rips? Those can be huge and might be hard to encode in real time. If you wanna both use raw files and have encoded media, I would make encoded versions beforehand, rather than encoding them on the fly.

Yes. I’m now a reformed pirate (no more pirating for me! Save lost media ofc) and I get a similar thrill by removing DRM from my DVD/Blu Ray & iTunes purchases.

Well, if it was ages ago, instances may have gotten wise to the fact that your account is gone and deleted the posts by now.

You post and comment histories would likely still be saved on any instances that federated with them previously, I would imagine.

Yep!

Why leave anything LGBT out of Free Forum? That sounds like it kinda defeats the point.

Because Android is technically open source and the hardware is free enough that I can install an alternative OS if I want to.

Also, the phones are cheaper and have headphone jacks!
