  • You kinda gotta decide on one thing to focus on. No one platform can fullfill all of those unless its a fediverse platform.

    Also, if its open then companies can train their AIs on it.

    If the software used to host it is open source, that doesnt mean its ethical or free of ads because if its run by a corporation with financial interests then they wont care about that.

    If you want a long term art platform that is free, open source, censorship resistant and non commercial, then your only real bet is something thats fediverse/decentralized and run by random users.

    Otherwise its always going to be enshittified. I havent heard of any other image focused fediverse platforms apart from pixelfed and thats just not what you want i think?


  • I was replying to people on lemmy a few months ago with something along the lines of “now is the time to leave the country, soon you wont be allowed to” and it really didnt take long at all. If you are trans, try to leave the country and seek asylum somewhere by citing this exact announcement. If you cant leave, then buy some guns so you can at least take some nazis with you to the grave when when they come to kill you.






  • Yes and its very easy actually.

    1. Create a folder on your computer to save the files to. Like “email-archive” or something.
    2. Open Thunderbird
    3. Select the emails you want to save (If you want to save an entire folder, like the Inbox folder for example, just open that folder and press Ctrl + A to select all emails in that folder)
    4. Right click anywhere in the list of selected emails
    5. Click “Save As…”
    6. Select the previously created folder in the save dialogue
    7. Done. You now have thousands of .eml files :)

    They are just specially formatted text files that can be opened with email programs or text editors. This means you can easily do a full file content text search through the entire folder if you need to find something.
