Is there a github repo for this project? Is it open source?

Is that even safe? I looked it up and it looks sketchy and saw lots of clone websites. Nothing mentioned with regards to privacy. Needless to say it is probably closed-source as well.

Yes, you can use NewPipe x Sponsorblock or LibreTube

Too many to choose from. But I would say NewPipe X Sponsorblock/Libretube and Squawker are the most used for me.

You are in a lucky position that your parents only use Signal. I had to resort to the same strat of “if you don’t use signal, you won’t be able to talk to me” but this did not work when it came to extended family or friends.

I agree lying is wrong but people don’t care about privacy. That is how brain dead our society is so I guess OP resorted to drastic measures.

Very surprised Twitter didn’t ban them. At least they have one public outlet to communicate with the rest of the world. They are a sovereign nation after all, like it or not.
