I have heard good things about AirVPN, ProtonVPN (noting that currently does not have port forwarding on Linux systems), and Windscribe. Does anyone have input on these?

 

With Mullvad recently removing port forwarding from their capabilities, many are on the search for a new VPN. What is Burggit's favorite VPN?

It does, these are essentially my thoughts on the matter.

I agree, most of what makes reddit interesting are the comments; but I don't know to what extent that I agree that reddit submissions are not "content" at all. Would posting screengrabs of content on Reddit (or TikTok or Threads or...) be necessarily undesirable? Why not look at the same content but generate our own comments and chained discussion?

 

What is the community’s stance on cross-posting from other sites? Either via direct link or screenshot/recording?

For example, it might be bad taste to create posts which are just links to Reddit threads. At the same time, discouraging posts which are just links to YouTube videos seems a little silly. Of course, you can come up with many grey-areas between these two examples.

Personally, I don’t want to follow links to Reddit because that place is a disaster. That being said, funny things are posted to that site and I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t laugh at a screenshot of such a thing posted here.

Strange, I wonder why that is. Simply a vocal minority in the second post since it got less traffic? Or maybe seeing an authority figure take a favorable stance, as the VLemmy admin did, had influence?

This seems like an opportune moment to ask: is there a post on this site somewhere detailing the legality status by country? There is the every useful wiki page, but still external references would be helpful. For example, take the US. Nominally illegal (ish, and depending on state), but practically seems very difficult to enforce due to ambiguity of language unless you have some other, related, offense.

Very nice, it does! Mind linking OP?

Are either/both of these blocked by Netflix and such? I know Mullvad took the stance of not genuinely caring about that -- which is fine, just meant some enabling/disabling annoyances.

Didn't see that, thank you!
