Blanket reminder that mastodon/fediverse are not secure sites.

Neither is Discord.

Do not do organizing here. There are apps much better for that.

Be smart. We will persevere.

@magicalmilly could you recommend some?

Briar is designed for activists who need maximum privacy, it connects p2p via Tor, and via Bluetooth if you're near people.

You can share your install of Briar with someone else, no Internet connection required. That feature has a specific use case but might be useful to some

@solstice @FediThing @copdeb @magicalmilly @briar Yeah, #Briar AFAICT is one of the few #offline-capable & decentralized options.

  • Besides that, use #XMPP + #OMEMO and consider having someone overseas to host stuff for you securely over Tor...

But as we all know: An #App won't fix #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec!

@[email protected] there are not *"Apps"* but systemic structures to do that. - First of all, don't host shit in or at places subject to #CloudAct aka. any #datacenter in the #USA or by any corporation that has an office / datacenter / ... in the #US. - Second, learn proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec: If you use an #iPhone and/or have #Amazon #Spyware Appliances in your home than consider yur place bugged and insecure. - Third, exercise caution and self-care first! You can't help others if you get burned out, deported, jailed *or worse* (as Sotomayor hinted at)...

Also a good option is @simplex chat. You wouldn't be able to traced through technical means because you son't have universal identifier

@itwillbefine @solstice @FediThing @copdeb @magicalmilly not really, as [email protected] - like @signalapp - is also a #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution.

No seriously, only if you have #SelfHosting and #SelfCustody are you in control, cuz nothing prevents the admins of #SimpleX from siphoning all comms and they will do so if the alternative is jailtime!
