Nostr migration will gain most or many of us as in the post
Gab freeforum: https://gab.com/groups/72118
Freeforum is on scored but kinda inactive: https://scored.co/c/freeforum
(edit: I feel Scored is kind of dead as it's not federated, but it would be good to get people from there to Nostr temporarily)
ExplodingHeads backup Scored community (?): https://scored.co/c/explodingheads
We can migrate to other Lemmy or Kbin instances (recommended ones?)
Any other forums to check out from the Reddit Alternatives sticky?https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/find_alternatives_for_ourselves_megathread_third/
> post more?
I'm interested, but also was thinking this might be an opportunity to back away from forums a bit for me
we have already bounced from forum to forum quite a bit
well what are your thoughts on nostr
the reason why nostr was liked was to prevent us from having to keep bouncing around as much
My first impression of it wasn't so good. The only android app that's distributed on f-droid is Amethyst but that doesn't have group support, nor did any of the other apps I tried. Some of the apps are only distributed on the Play Store, which I'm avoiding. It was only when I tried satellite.earth that I discovered Nostr supports groups to begin with. But then that still didn't work on Android. Also, that interface hijacks your attention even more than Lemmy. It feels like you're browsing 9gag when the memes take the centre place.
I would still advice that a link to exploding heads on Satellite is placed in the sticky, though. At least that gives an experience similar to forums.
same
also I read amythest's privacy report and they send data to google it sounds like lol

is that anything or a nothingburger
It doesn't point to malintent. It means they make use of Google Play Services, but which is bad for privacy. The solution is to flash your device with a ROM that doesn't have Play Services, if that's possible, or to disable all the permissions for Play Services. But then you'll receive notifications with a delay, which is probably okay for an app like Amethyst. But even Session needs to use Play Services to deliver notifications in realtime.
