probably not, unless you add certain services back onto your phone. currently, gemini needs the google workspace to do anything, even something like setting a timer or reminder. i obviously dont know what change they make with that announcement, but i dont think they would offer such a feature without sucking the user deep into the google service world.

is this resolved then? i will update my comment to correctly reflect the current situation then :)

lemmy.world does not allow the use of vpn to post. vpn is basic internet hygiene. do not go to lemmy.world if you care about that, our you will not be able to post.

you can join any federated instance instead.

one day later edit: i took my information from this post of a lemmy.world admin: https://lemmy.world/comment/12079632

I was made aware that users are able to post on lemmy.world while using a vpn. maybe their stance has changed?

aside from that, try to avoid joining the biggest instance and join smaller, federated instances instead. this reduces load and avoids centralization.

Another comment in this thread you might already have seen by now:

And there were other instances mentioned in other threads as well.

Some problems are not tied to a platform, but to their users. Power hungry people try to grab power where they can. If they can’t be mod on reddit, they move to Lemmy. Here they can try to grow “their” space. If a topic already exists on one instance, they can move to another and shape the narrative and enforce rules how they like.

if that is your primary motivation, i have bad news for you… you might have to move on. here you will get bans for downvoting “the wrong” comment or post as well.
