Instances can be created freely, and are free to both associate and disassociate with other instances as they please.

Each instance decides their comfort with content within their instance and outside it. There are left leaning instances, centrist ones, and I'm sure a few right leaning ones. Some are ban-happy, but many will allow you to post all sorts of content, as long as it's not too outlandish.

If the content you wish to see/post is wildly outside the overton window, you can join an instance that allows this or create your own. But other instances are under no obligation to federate with content they don't wish to see.

It's so easy to dismiss Trumpers and conservatives as bigoted, evil monsters. And don't get me wrong, many of them are.

But I have many in my life that are loving, kind people who would give you the shirt off their back. Due to family influence, religion, or other factors, they have taken on some pretty repelling viewpoints on some issues. But they're capable of change. Familiarization and a kind, guiding hand can go a long way.

Completely unrelated to this post, but I've seen plenty of your comments in other posts, and recognize you from your use of the ΓΎorn.

Lemmy is a small place at times, and I've enjoyed sharing it with you.

This is great news!

For those unaware, Google is continuously enacting policies that are closing down the open environment of Android, and I fear this will significantly harm projects like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and others.

If you can spare a couple dollars, please consider throwing some money at PostmarketOS or any other mobile Linux project you like.

on Phone backups? · c/android · 7 pts · 321d

My method is much more manual and involved, but fits my needs:

I have my pictures, documents, and music folders synced automatically to a few computers via Syncthing. At the start op each month, I export my contacts, Obtainium apps, and other files to my documents. At this time, I also make backups to the cloud and make a couple copies to external hard drives. It may sound intensive, but it only takes 5 minutes a month.

I restart / update my phone very often for various tests and projects. Whenever I need to do so, I upload these files from my computer or hard drive. Using a guide that I've made myself, it takes maybe ten minutes to have my phone exactly the way it was before.

Same for trans kids, or gay kids, or anyone that doesn't fit the norm.

I understand that social media can have detrimental effects on everyone, especially the youth. But let's stop pretending like social media is akin to heroin, with no potential benefits. Social media is a great place for some people, teens and preteens included, to find a sense of community and belonging.
