Does it work for you?

No perfect solution for this currently, unfortunately.

But let the information flow. Create a post and look for feedback if people would be interested in a specific community on the topic of the textbook. There are a lot of scientists here, so there is surely a space for your topic.

Not right now, unfortunately. But it looks like tags like on Reddit are planned in the future. Right now I'd just create a post with the specific question. There are helpful people, for sure. :)

I made my first order on otto.de a few days ago. I even installed their app, as I had Amazon app before, so it is easy to see my orders and invoices. It worked excelent, I found what I needed. What I was pleasantly surprised with, was that I did not need to enter a payment card. I just made my order, things came in 2 batches, different days, and I have about a month to pay them.

When I went to pay them, you have the option to pay each one, or all of them at once. I chose all, I’ve got a QR code, scanned it with my bank app and made the transfer. Painless and not using anything US made. Well, the phone I am on and the iPad…but you know what I mean, no VISA/Mastercard, etc.

And from what I heard, they have stricter rules of who can be a merchant on their website, compared to Amazon.

For those among us who are menstruating: drip. is a very neat little period tracking app that offers basic tracking functions and fertility planning. All data is only stored locally.

It is open source and was developed in Germany. It's available on Android and iOS.

No I mean the big social Networks with centralized management. Like Reddit, Facebook,...

Net neutrality

To my knowledge net neutrality only covers internet providers and not search engines or other platforms.

So let's repost all of the popular Reddit content here ;D

Something being free and open source doesn't mean it's good

True. But it's verifiable.

It's FOSS and you've looked at the code and found it to live up to its claims of being secure?

Popular FOSS projects get audited all the time. Heck, there is even automated software to detect anomalies in code changes.

Auditability is the only reason why you can only really trust open source but not closed source. With proprietary software you'll always have to trust the developers to not do something shady and are competent enough. With open source you can simply verify it.

Also being open source is what usually makes popular FOSS more stable and secure than most closed counterparts. A LOT of people donate their work and since it's completely public, most want their contributions to be in good shape. If only a few or no other people see your code, you are tempted to write bad code a lot more. This of course is not always the case but more often than not.

Also in most developed countries it's illegal to purposefully introduce manipulated code. And I don't think most people would risk punishment for that if literally anybody could find it.

I'm trying to show that the particulars of why you like or prefer something matter.

Sure. But most people don't care about the details, unfortunately. In the case of messaging they just want to communicate. And if someone asks me, which platform I'd recommend I will always start with the most secure and private.

That's why I specifically wrote "completely public" not "private".

I think most people know that a discord server with a few hundred or thousand members can hardly be considered private. But I can imagine that there are people who don't want to put it directly online for everybody to find on Google. Not that I like that.

How about crossposting stuff from reddit there to get the engagement up?
