Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Snapchat are launching a counteroffensive to impose chat control on European citizens.

"Today, with the expiration of the ePrivacy exemption that allowed the use of technology to detect child sexual abuse, Europe risks leaving children around the world less protected from the most abhorrent forms of abuse."

I am new here as well, I will have to check out this Mirage I have not heard of that, I did hear on here that there is an instance that does not require an email to sign up, it is a world related instance as I recall but I did not write it down.

But you can at least for the moment just make a new account on a new instance with the same email without anything following you, unless the moderators are on both instances, which is a pretty common occurrence.

I think the piefed developers are working on fucking you across the entire fediverse over the moderators' decisions on any instance however.

Reddit keeps chasing me off as well, no permaban but they have made it pretty clear they don't want me there. I imagine it is government related because I have nothing but overwhelmingly positive karma.

Mirage feels to me like the very OG Reddit. Even from a UI standpoint. They've built their own blockchain. So when I signed up there, I was given my own seed phrase to access the account vs having to give any of my own personal credentials. Seems a lot more privacy focussed.

Also the moderation there is more opt in/opt out than Reddit for example. No issues with mods like those clowns over on Reddit. Just wasn't too pleased to see here I had to give my email to get on.

Check out mirage.talk and let me know your thoughts. 5RBG-CEW5 code should get you in!

What were reddit chasing you off for out of curiosity?

Oh, with me it's hard to say, Israel is probably the main factor, but I go pretty hard against corporate interests and the government as well. As always, it's mostly about Israel though. I used to get 6 months out of an account, after my first one lasted over a year, now I was down to 3 months, my new one got a violation in the first week for something that wasn't against the rules. None of these violations are against the rules. It is bad faith.

Brother holy fuck lol if i could high 5 you rn I would. Exact same for me. I lost my Twitter account back in the Covid days and have seen the way it's went with Elon regarding the Israel issue. Unbelievably hard to bite my tongue on there but I don't want to lost my twitter account after getting it back.

Reddit it was gone in a blink. Mirage to its credit, they market themselves as an absolute free speech platform so i've found my takes being received a lot better on there on the israel issue. Reassuring af that I can finally vent somewhere online without fear of any blowback, if that makes sense
