That definition does sound clearer in regards to usage, I agree.
The way I labelled my "social circles" are because I'm focusing more on the distinction between people I know IRL but aren't necessarily on the same political communities I frequent, and those communities. But for most people the labels you suggest make more sense indeed.
It'd be really nice if a peertube instance was easier to setup individually and had built-in donation support. Some non-mainstream folks would probably appreciate the option for a more cozy and intimate platform they could set up as they please.
My best advice would be to mainly separate your work identity (accounts, apps, devices, pseudonyms, etc) from your personal identity.
Ideally a person could have 3 "profiles" for interacting:
- a work one, where you should be as "mainstream" as possible while trying to not favour the bourgies
- a personal one, for family, friends etc, where you can be yourself but tempering some views that they might not be ready to understand
- a political one, where you can freely study, talk about and try to push forward the kind of society you strive for.
I don't do that perfectly, since at some point I mixed my personal and political "profiles" for a while, but I do that compartmentalisation to better help me deal with different kinds of folks and avoid some privacy risks. I work with all kinds of people, but the only colleagues I expose to communist discourse and ideas are the ones I know for a fact are already lefties. Has been working fine. People can know I'm a leftist, but not everyone needs to know I'm a communist.
Great recommendation, gonna check it out since unfortunately Lawnchair is living on extended lifetime on my phone :')
Firefox sync is really neat as well, though. I like not needing to configure Firefox for each system I use when I can have everything sync'ed. I know Mozilla ain't the greatest but they're fine enough for my daily usage.
If I need full privacy I can go Librewolf or Tor browser.
I've been using it for years and can't live without it anymore. It's too goddamn useful.
Been using lawnchair since forever, I try to avoid closed source apps as much as possible, so Nova was never an option for me.
That could have been better communicated though. What you said is reasonable, what Michal said isn't as much.
Micro gang here. There are at least two of us!
DeArrowing is the thing I didn't know I needed. Thanks!
Ooohhh that's new to me, definitely a cool possibility. One more app to host on my wishlist
