As governments around the world pass free-speech unfriendly social media laws, the number of platforms that still allow users to speak freely is dwindling. Here is a list of some of the ones that remain.

Article mentions, briefly or more substantially:

  • Lemmy
  • Mastodon
  • Retroshare
  • Nostr
  • Bluesky
  • ZeroNet
  • Secure Scuttlebutt
  • Tor onion sites
  • etc

Not my article, just one I found.
