@gerrymcgovern nit "#digital" but "#centralized" is the keyword.
I know #people who are getting #banned on #github because they're #VibeCoding now in part or in whole.
And so, as a #target of an #ai #code #hack that as a part time #developer myself saddens me.
IF you give any of your #data to a #centralized server or #cloud #service #platform now, do not #expect it to stay untouched.
Buy a #dedicated #server from places that allow #public #torrent #trackers on them.
Stay #informed and don't let #corporate #government #censorship push you around.
I #believe that #freedom and #privacy #rights will never die if we alone keep them and ourselves #alive as best we can.
Otherwise, the #inshitification of our #world continues.
that's what I did. That's what I use. That's why I use them. Don't give up the #fight on the #account of the #needs of somebody else.
It's time to #save the #west from total collapse of our #right to #live #well into the #future as such.
Alright, it's official, I'm moving over to Mastodon for the most part. Bluesky is only gonna get worse until it becomes the demon it was supposed to slay. I don't loath it for any specific reason, but it's ignorant to think any centralized platform safe from enshittification. I'll continue to like some stuff there and maybe comment on posts, but I won't repost anything to my timeline. I want to de-emphasize Bluesky in my life as much as possible because, excluding Newgrounds, it is the only centralized, closed source social media I still rely on. At least Newgrounds seems to be run competently and has anti-AI policies, as it should, considering it's status as a site for independent artists (*cough cough* DEVIANTART).

@divVerent The problem is that @signalapp mandates #PII like #PhoneNumbers, which is critical for said #phishing...
#Signal can spout all their "#Metadata" - #FUD all day but in the end they fall under #CloudAct and will snitch on users because if they didn't it would've been a statistical inevitability that @Mer__edith and #Moxie would've been in jail and Signal shutdown like #EncroChat was.
@signalapp those attacks.would've not.been successful if you weren't a #proprietary, #centralized, #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider "solution" that doesn't do #SelfCustoy of all the.keys nor allows for #SelfHosting nor demands #PII like #PhoneNumbers that can be leveraged for that.
Can't #phish if one doesn't have credentials for #phishing attacks ffs!
Also which #Government is that incompetent to not be able to setup their own comms?
