it does not “harm” you it’s spyware and a ping virus that sends request to telegram and WhatsApp each time an action is made, overloading those servers with requests from big daily usage, that teachers, bosses, managers are forcing people who work there or learn there to install MAX.

gooners (in slang) is a term to describe who is edging himself and can’t stop it or stops for a bit. Gooners are annoying and are everywhere, good art = gooners goon to it, even fucking anything will be gooned on.

they are annoying, everywhere. like MAX is in russia

that’s a joke only Russians understand, MAX is a messenger that spies on you and the government is forcing it onto every device.

isn’t friendica, diaspora, mastodon, and half of the fediverse is federated by activitypub? you’re basically making a lot of accounts for the same service

okay I’m sorry but I just pick instances, not host.

sh.itjust.works is a better thing for lemmy, extremely new user friendly

I’d say selfhosting is the shelf that is standing under this.

translate it.

its like “МАКС ИДИ НАХУЙ”

HitVPN, amneziaVPN, there are a lot of VPNs.

as a russian this is late news. the whole thing started somewhere in 2022

fuck you gooners.

just tell them to use matrix.org with cometchat(?) I forgot the client name but that would be easier

windows would be OSS, not FOSS.

thank you for your help, I will look into each service.

nice, Debian is more stable and you will have an easy switch, use the graphical install.

FUCKING PAID?! sorry but isn’t the fediverse supposed to be free?! it’s decentralized so anyone can just host their own instance for free. youre a bot. i know Steve, dont lie to me, tell me, are you a person that works at communick?

Roblox did the same, 5 million accounts getting flagged as 13-16 but the owners were 18+

migrate to matrix.
