  • You don't need to. Content is perfectly discoverable without them. Just about the only real benefit is having the "extra storage". And nowadays it's pretty dangerous, as at least Youtube hallucinates edits for uploaded casts and stuff without the creators's consent or knowledge.

  • Rather than encourage people to leave, we should encourage more enlightened people to move there, and change the political climate

    You want to put those "more enlightened people" at risk of being Gestapo'd or killed? We need them where they can actually do a net positive effect!

    First clean up the shit in Texas (or any other fascist shithole) and make it livable, then live there.

  • A central relay/proxy is even worse than your current approach. People are obviously free to set up their own Lemmy/Mastodon server if they want a relay.

    Lemmy/Mastodon are quite heavy to set up if all you want is to proxy outbound connections. Just using any available proxy you have (which could very well be eg.: a SOCKS proxy set up on FoxyProxxy) is quite nimble and takes up at most a few kbs of RAM.

    That said, for anonymizing the IP origin this only mostly works if enough people use the same general relays (basically the same principle as TOR, VPNs), which means this only becomes effective once enough people use this plugin that it becomes worthwhile to position such infrastructure.
