Fuck you Delhi High Court 🖕🏾

"This broad Delhi court order became a new standard going forward. American rightsholders used it against a wide variety of pirate sites and, through this Indian route, they targeted American domain registrars such as Namecheap and Porkbun. Effectively, the Delhi High Court now has the power to take domains offline worldwide."

Are you looking for a queer alternative to Discord? Come check out Queer Spark! We're an inclusive welcoming space free from corporate meddling or privacy violations that is community-focused and built on Jabber (XMPP).
With Jabber there's no 'nitro' to unlock features. The apps are mostly native and lightweight, with no frills. A diversity of people host servers on their own hardware, it's not owned by a company.

Does anyone want to talk about #Free or #Open #Document formats for #DocumentFreedomDay2026? If so, please respond to this post. #DFD2026 #FOSS #AskFedi

I've been playing around with #XMPP, so I set up a group chat where XMPP and fediverse nerds can live chat the #Superbowl on Sunday.

If you've been thinking about trying XMPP this might be your excuse. If you couldn't care less about the Superbowl, I get that too. (I may have a conflict, myself.)

Let me know if anything isn't working correctly. (And, boosts appreciated to help spread the word.)

The room is at: superb-owl@conference.chat.twomile.com

And if you're already set up with XMPP this may work (hand-written; no promises): xmpp://superb-owl@conference.chat.twomile.com?join
