DDG lite works great in Lynx! I hope it never goes away.
Is there a lite version of Google search? How does Lynx work for Google searches?

Very interesting. How resistant would this be for hosting legal but controversial stuff? And what's to stop the peergos.me from dropping the said controversial subdomain?
Can this be used for dynamic content?

Haha no the confirmation mails are sent straight away ;)
"tardamail.com is too new, temporarily blacklisted" is what I see in the mail-logs.
Seems like something I can't do much about at the moment, and should correct itself in a while. It seems to get past most spam-filters though.
I'll consider implementing an email-confirmation backup, thanks!

Especially the part about "Rule of Thumb for Running Mail Server on a New IP Address
When you run a mail server on a new IP address, you should not use this IP address to send newsletters (aka marketing emails) right away. Instead, you should use this IP address to send transactional emails for a period of time to improve the reputation.
You may also want to use SMTP relay to send emails for a few days because SMTP relay services have a high IP reputation. After that, send emails directly to the familiar recipients."

This is very expensive for any decent usage. I have used tools like metascraper for this purpose and it worked pretty well. Setup just requires throwing a tiny nodejs app on a raspberry pi or $5 server and that can handle tons of requests.

CTH is one place which never puts out any info without hard evidence to the documents which prove their case. Somehow that's not acceptable now a days. And despite this, there will still be people who will claim there's no censorship of conservative voices.

(you're not being censored for your political views, it's because you're posting too many times in one thread. I get the same alert sometimes)
Again, my point isn't that there are no Democratic Facebook execs, it's that they play both sides. To whit:
> Indeed, the three top leaders of Facebook's DC office all have extensive backgrounds in Republican politics: Vice President for Global Public Policy Joel Kaplan; Vice President for U.S. Public Policy Kevin Martin; and Public Policy Director for Global Elections Katie Harbath.

That article also outlines a number of right-wing friendly moves that Facebook has made in recent years, just as a counterpoint to the example being discussed here.
I agree with you that the vast majority of staff at these tech companies are Democrats, but I'm talking about the top-level execs. And once you reach that level you see the top tech companies play both sides of the political aisle as best they can.
Are there any examples when big tech has "made a mistake" or "banned" someone on the lefty leaning side by mistake? I have countless examples of right leaning views get banned and censored "by mistake". When mistakes always happen to one side, the right loses faith in the system.
Simply pointing out a couple executives being republican doesn't have anything of value. This isn't about democrat vs republican. This is about democrats + RINOs vs Trump supporters. Having people like Mitt Romney or John McCain type republicans is of no value. Vast majority of Trump supporters dislike them.
I will give a couple examples - the Biden campaign keeps tweeting the same lie again and again about Trump not condemning white nationalists at the Charlottesville incident. This is an easily verifiable lie. Yet twitter nor Facebook ever marks this as "debunked".
Another example - In October 2016 and October 2020, NYTimes put out articles claiming to have the tax data for Trump. They didn't disclose any sources, nor was it verified. And if the data they had was correct, they obtained it illegally. Yet Twitter nor Facebook banned this on their platform.
Another example - last week, media ran stories with secretly recorded audio of Melania Trump. This wasn't banned either.
Here's an example from a few hour ago where FB deleted a post and restricted monetization by BabylonBee (satire) for "violating our Community Standards.":
https://mobile.twitter.com/The_Kyle_Mann/status/131749666800...
Yet these platforms are now claiming the NYPost story cannot be allowed because it's "hacked" data. It's not hacked data plus even if it was, they don't apply the same standard to news which might hurt Trump.
As for not being able to comment on the same thread, if that's the case, then this is a very poor UX. Not being able to interact at all (I wasn't able to for at least a day) on a topic you are passionate about makes the site pointless.
EDIT:
It's strange how someone seems to be monitoring this 3 day old post on HN and flagging and downvoting my comments instantly.

That was published, post-election, by Buzzfeed News.
It goes much before that. Isikoff met Steele on Sept 22, 2016, and published a story about Carter Page the next day. He didn’t verify a thing. All he did was get an anon government official to say FBI had the dossier. And that kind of journalism happens all the time and never gets called out. The double standards are amazing.
