    Scientology has grotesque space aliens flying across the universe in jumbo jet shaped space craft and dumping millions of souls into volcanoes that later attach to your soul and hinder your life.

    Mormons have dumb stories about land bridges and magic dudes doing extra magic to hide secret texts for bigamists to find.

    I think Scientology has got this one.

    Mormons are absolutely Christian. They believe in christian god, christ as savior, etc. They simply have an extra, more modern prophet who “discovered” more scripture.

    This is exactly my overall point. Protestants/Catholics/Mormons all believe Christ is mankinds savior. Those are all Christians. As long as they have that central tenant, that’s the only relevant aspect to being classed under that label.

    Jews/Muslims do not, and therefore are not Christians. That doesnt make sense with Catholics/Mormons, since Christ is the central element of both faiths. The push to label them as non Christian is the hateful aspect. It excludes on arbitrary lines in order to delegitimize what is often more “caring/kind/etc” teachings than a lot of the modern evangelical/Protestant faiths.

    The above doesn’t track. Every sect of Christianity thinks its the “true” sect, but you aren’t likely to see a Methodist claim an Baptist isn’t Christian. They just claim they aren’t following god correctly.

    Attempting to remove catholics or even mormons from being “Christian” at all is just a push to de-legitimize them as religions entirely. It’s not reasonable, it’s hateful by design, an intentional “othering.”




  • The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren’t local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.

    Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range, with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.

    That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.


  • Jellyfin takes more work, but can be a “simple” end user experience if you set it up for them.

    Use a reverse proxy to get a letsenceypt cert for your jellyfin server. SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, then enroll the devices in your tailnet.

    They will have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.






  • I think you misread my post. Im not defending fosstodon or carrotcypher, I was asking for more clarity about the issues.

    Reading up on him in the linked posts, he looks like a big piece of shit that shouldn’t be moderating a large mastodon instance. It’s clear he abuses his power there and on the 50 communities here on lemmy he mods to silence discussion that doesn’t align with his views.

    You opting to “not look into them” is the same stance as the Fosstodon admins, and honestly, not a good choice.
