As governments around the world pass free-speech unfriendly social media laws, the number of platforms that still allow users to speak freely is dwindling. Here is a list of some of the ones that remain.

Article mentions, briefly or more substantially:

  • Lemmy
  • Mastodon
  • Retroshare
  • Nostr
  • Bluesky
  • ZeroNet
  • Secure Scuttlebutt
  • Tor onion sites
  • etc

Not my article, just one I found.

        Yeah, that’s the most dominant, but also sometimes nazi shit and the worst kinds of porn. Oh and I just had a guy eating raw meat and another one hit someone in the head from behind with some sort of tool. No idea what it was about, because I didn’t speak that language.

          Yeah I checked out of Nostr after CSAM started appearing in my feed. That really sucked because I liked the technology, but there’s a line to be drawn.

            At the rate we’re going in the US, anti science and antisocial, clubbing one’s next meal or foes and eating the meat raw for lack of other tools is not far off current trajectory.

      Thanks for the info. I’ve heard of it but never tried it.

      Does it at least have easy ways for users to filter what they don’t want? E.g. block lists that users can subscribe to.

        No, AFAIK you can just follow or block users and then get a feed of the followed.

        Also you get a feed of replies to your posts.

        It also has an NSFW flag. In the Yana client it’s called “Automatically open sensitive content”. It will then show a button, instead of loading things the author flagged sensitive.’

        I seem to receive messages in all languages as well. Some have interesting pics of burnt cars.
