@BigBlackCockroach Have you heard of https://nostr.com/ ?
Should be of interest to you.
It's censorship resistant by design and you can get 100% censorship resistance by running your own relay (server which transfers the data between the clients).
It's a protocol, so all kinds of different applications can be implemented with it. Something like mastodon already exists.

Whitepaper is just a different term for a technical documentation[1] and has literally nothing to do with cryptocurrency. Your reasoning in your initial post doesn't make any sense what so ever. I guarantee most of the companies you mentioned, if not all, published white papers for various topics in their past. I can only repeat myself, white papers have absolutely nothing to do with crypto currency. Just as one example. Check the Signal protocol[2] Wikipedia page and search for whitepaper.

It's ok to not know what a white paper is but then don't start your posts with "Looked pretty interesting, until I saw the “read whitepaper” button.".

That being said, where in the skiff white paper did you find crypto currency? Admittedly I didn't read all or even most of it but a simple search for "currency", "blockchain" or even "chain" doesn't return any results. I really hope you don't talk about the word "crypto", cause that has an entirely different meaning in that context.

What does a whitepaper have to do with cryptocurrency?

@kescusay Just out of interest, what are the "special-purpose activities that can’t be done on my Linux laptop" if you don't mind sharing?

@SomeBoyo Yeah that's the normal devices guarantee you also get with normal android on pixel devices. So in terms of longevity GrapheneOS doesn't offer any advantages. There are other advantages of course.

@SaltyIceteaMaker I installed miniflux, a rss reader, on it. Sadly android constantly kills the internet connecting when the screen turns off, so I can't use it as a server to access it from my other devices. I have tried everything I could find to prevent that from happening.

@SomeBoyo What "long term support"? Official GrapheneOS releases for a device end when the official Android support ends because they don't support hardware where the firmware is not updated anymore. Or did that change recently?

@hardypart I have no inside info obviously but why would he join? He is making bank with photopea, why support potential competition?

@TheYang Exactly! Came here to say this. Everybody actively using chromium based browsers is a part of the problem.

@Predator There is also Stealth https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.cosmos.unreddit/

There is also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ in case you are not aware which supports A LOT of different services besides twitter.
