President Donald Trump’s preferred paint colors will be applied to the new planes which will serve as Air Force One, an Air Force official tells CNN.

The new heavily modified Boeing 747s, which the military designates VC-25B, will be painted red, white, gold and dark blue, a color scheme proposed during Trump’s first term in office but reversed by the Biden administration.

Hey!

I made this thread on Reddit recently at /r/TankieTheDeprogram and crossposted it a few times.

My question is: Do you think the suggestions and alternatives will be enough for now?

And what others do you recommend?

Also, anything that I missed?

Here's the whole post in full:

"Here you go:

I am just trying to get everyone to consider switching to Lemmygrad or some other Reddit alternative (and especially a Discord alternative, goodness gracious!).

I don't know if you all want to make the jump, but there's also Bluesky from Twitter / X, though Bluesky has the same problems as "old Twitter," not to mention Zionist administration.

I think it's still worth it to have at least a foothold or account on one of these platform.

I myself am on one Internet forum (like those message boards that were popular in the 2000s).

I think that Discourse is also an alternative too (not to be confused with Discord).

I'm making an Internet forum for it right now.

Here you go:

https://lemmygrad.ml/

And then there's Stoat or Revolt, which can be downloaded here:

I don't know that it has any "Windows 11 app" yet. It's just web browser and the actual app on mobile.

I don't recommend Element or Matrix... Too... janky? Hard to explain. It's just not easy to use.

Signal might be fine, but it's based in the United States.

I would recommend getting Proton Mail, though they have in the past, if asked, revealed info, though it may be the best email alternative there is right now.

I wouldn't worry too much about the email client right now, but if you have Linux, that is a great way to be secure. Windows 11 uses telemetry and other programs that gather your data.

Never too late to switch to Linux.

There's also Hexbear, not just Lemmygrad (both Lemmygrad and Hexbear are for communists, but you can use the wider Lemmyverse without being a political minority or communist; you can use other Lemmy instances without being a communist or anarchist at all).

Use Firefox or Zen browser as an alternative to your Edge or Chrome browser. I prefer Zen.

None of this is full-proof and there's always a risk.

Still, if you're an activist or organizer, it may be needed. If you're a political minority or gender minority, it may be needed. If you're an immigrant, even here legally, it may be needed. Don't forget that ICE is killing U.S. citizens and kidnapping them too.

Just be carefdul, folks.

Watch this for more on the Discord situation:

Mullvad VPN may be the better VPN but there are others out there as well. Avoid NordVPN and other big ones, imho.

Don't be afraid of speaking the truth, but also, don't pre-comply. These are just to keep you extra safe, but if you need to speak on a public platform, maybe do so at your discretion.

There's also Mastodon, which ebbs and flows in terms of its usage.

UpScrolled is also an alternative to TikTok, which is now Zionist-controlled and has had a noticeable algorithm change.

Read this too:

Let me know of any more alternatives or what you can do to protect yourself from state terrorism.

Lawyers and firms, other services, and maybe ways to not rely on the Internet too much.

Take care! This is not just for communists. If you happen to be reading this, please consider using these alternatives and then some."

Let me know if these occasional promotions I do are worth it and if they help out!

Also, I posted the PC Gamer article from here.

Again, let me know if this all helps.

I'm asking for public policy ideas here. A lot of countries are enacting age verification now. But of course this is a privacy nightmare and is ripe for abuse. At the same time though, I also understand why people are concerned with how kids are using social media. These products are designed to be addictive and are known to cause body image issues and so forth. So what's the middle ground? How can we protect kids from the harms of social media in a way that respects everyone's privacy?

(Not sure if this is allowed here but need some help/support) ETA- I’m in the UK. Anyone have any info or advice is welcomed.

I don’t feel like a natural woman. Like the Portishead song “I just wanna be a woman”…

I just wanna feel like the the other women in my family and the gender I was assigned at birth but I just feel like the grinch. I literally feel like my body is all wrong and I can’t just “accept” it and be grateful.

Mtf (in my case, masc to femme) I probably have hormonal imbalances or something. My life is awful. If y’all can take it at the ages you do, I feel like I should be allowed to at 23…

Euthanasia is on the cards atp…I just wanna stop feeling worthless

Stop advocating for the genocide of Jews and supporting a terror organization

And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

I'm not sure if what I'm looking for exists, or if it's even possible to build.

I would like to have a central place where I can donate some monthly amount. I set up my profile and say, from my monthly donation, I want x percent to go to this project, y percent to that project, and so on. So instead of setting up some number of donations for all the projects I use and want to support, I have a single donation to support multiple projects.

Is there already a platform like this?
