  • Had a bad experience with Nym. It’s not compatible with GrapheneOS. It runs, but there’s a data limit that in my experience kept getting artificially hit by the forming and breaking of connections that occurs when switching GOS profiles. Maybe this happens less on stock Android?

    Regardless, I had to keep contacting their support for extensions. In 6 years, I haven’t yet had to contact Mullvad support. It just works!

    I experienced DNS leaks when Nym claimed it was ‘fully’ connected. Mullvad.net could ‘see’ where I was located. That’s not considering that in general the connection with Nym was much slower than Mullvad. Nym offered me an extended free trial, but I haven’t claimed it yet. Reckon they’ll need another couple of years to iron out the obvious issues.

    In summary, Nym felt like a very early prototype much more than a production-ready service.

  • Thank you for this. Probably the first genuine attempt to answer my question without a single attack or ounce of vitriol :)

    I do I see this argument, I really do! But this description does imply a sense of global altruism in Russia’s foreign policy. Even if Russia’s actions could be interpreted that way, how can outsiders trust Russia’s starting of wars and territorial expansion as anything other than selfish?

    I ask this knowing full well that the west/north is guilty of atrocities over the same period. The issue is simply that I am in the west/north and I’d probably sooner see the world transition into anarchy than I would see it controlled by yet another powerful elite.

    The kind of communism I want to see is one by the people for the people. I wouldn’t trust Putin or any of the current leaders to seize the world then give it back to us. Do you believe otherwise?

  • This all sounds lovely, but I’m struggling to see Russia’s role in opposing imperialism following their repeated incursions into Ukrainian territory and the more recent full-blown military invasion and the subsequent war. I understand imperialism can be summarised by one nation ruling or attempting to rule over another. How do Russia’s actions with Ukraine represent a “progressive” role in opposing it?

  • It’s very odd. I’m trying to work out if its pro-Russian activists hijacking a largely unregulated and slightly obscure social networking platform or if it’s just extremist lefties who’ve gone so far to left they’ve gone around the back and reappeared on the far right! Either way the absence of (or presence of shit) moderators is noticeable here…
