I’m currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I’m currently out of ideas, so I’d like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

      It is to

      A: the continuity of said project (DMCA) and B: to the individual end users.

      You can use FOSS clients for things like Discord or the Google play store but you still run the risk of getting banned.

        Shit, I get banned by their shitty ML algos when I do comply with their ToS. I don’t think most people care about the risk of having to create new accounts, since they’re already forced to do so already.

          Ordinarily I’d agree, but for now, WhatsApp is tied to your phone number. I’m not sure if you can use some kind of service to create alias numbers but for many people, that’s a big blocker when it comes to making another account following any kind of infraction.

          I don’t think meta would shift in requiring a phone number per account either,

                Juice SIM or MoneroSMS. It doesn’t work, though. Only tried once, but the account was banned a few hours after creation :(
