As governments around the world pass free-speech unfriendly social media laws, the number of platforms that still allow users to speak freely is dwindling. Here is a list of some of the ones that remain.

Article mentions, briefly or more substantially:

  • Lemmy
  • Mastodon
  • Retroshare
  • Nostr
  • Bluesky
  • ZeroNet
  • Secure Scuttlebutt
  • Tor onion sites
  • etc

Not my article, just one I found.

    Thanks for the info. I’ve heard of it but never tried it.

    Does it at least have easy ways for users to filter what they don’t want? E.g. block lists that users can subscribe to.

      No, AFAIK you can just follow or block users and then get a feed of the followed.

      Also you get a feed of replies to your posts.

      It also has an NSFW flag. In the Yana client it’s called “Automatically open sensitive content”. It will then show a button, instead of loading things the author flagged sensitive.’

      I seem to receive messages in all languages as well. Some have interesting pics of burnt cars.
