如果你還能投票，請查證、請出門、請堅定

在桃園某家店，聽見老闆語氣堅定地說：「26號一定要出來投票。」我一開始以為他是支持罷免，結果他是反對的。
他說被罷免的人「又沒做什麼壞事」，還批評某位政治人物「身居高位卻不能接納不同意見」。後來開始舉例政治人物的名字，甚至語氣不滿地說：「還說他們是什麼雜質？」那語氣，像是在替被罷免者抱不平。

讓我更無言的是，原本沒有表態的年輕人，聽久了也點頭附和，說會去投票反對罷免。那一刻我真的不知道該說什麼，只覺得又氣又無力——查證這件事，真的有這麼難嗎？

這種對話我不是第一次遇到，卻一次比一次更讓人焦慮。資訊落差、被動接受、洗腦狀態，在桃園像是一種常態。雖然網路上的同溫層幾乎都支持罷免，但真的不要掉以輕心！

而我身為原住民，因為這次罷免名單中沒有原住民立委，根本無法參與投票。（應該？如果我有錯請糾正）
不能投票，不代表不能關心。我希望能用文字提醒還有投票權的你：這場罷免不是穩贏的事，也不是別人的事，而是我們民主能否清醒前行的分水嶺。

📢 We've sat down with our artist @dopatwo and created a sticker pack for @signalapp. Now you can send cute elephants to your friends, and promote the #fediverse at the same time. We ❤️ Signal, too!

I'm sure promoting the centralized @signalapp will never come back to bite @Mastodon in the ass.

@dopatwo

@ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon

ElysianEve 🇪🇺2d ago

Me too hope one day to see signal open in decentralization, but to avoid "switching fatigue" we must try to avoid jumping from one app to another for "normal people" as such continuing recommending signal is paramount.

but yeah having a decentralized backup as secure is a top (not element as their default are horrible).

Natasha Nox 🇺🇦🇵🇸2d ago

@ElysianEve @ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon It would be nice if there was a federated/decentralized alternative that's as good as Signal (ease-of-use + security + feature set). Unfortunately there isn't.

Health Is Wealth 2d ago

@Natanox @ElysianEve @ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon I found this an interesting site in order to make a decision on which messaging apps to use (a mix of Signal and Session for my own scenarios). Might be of interest to others too (?). https://www.securemessagingapps.com/

Secure Messaging Apps Comparison | Privacy Matters

This site compares secure messaging apps from a security & privacy point of view. These include Facebook Messenger, iMessage, Skype, Signal, Simplex, Google Messenger, Threema, Riot, Wire, Telegram, and Wickr

Natasha Nox 🇺🇦🇵🇸2d ago

@healthiswealth @ElysianEve @ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon That's nice, lacks a few though (e.g. Briar).
Unfortunately if you want mass adoption you really need the jack of all trades. It's phenomenally hard work to combine all three aspects mentioned earlier, especially if you also want it to not use a classical centralized approach. Matrix attempted to do this and it's a buggy mess ever since. Other projects usually let go of either ease-of-use or features.

Health Is Wealth 2d ago

@Natanox

@ElysianEve @ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon Hi. It's a good start for some I thought especially since it's easy to visually compare the ones it lists. I've not visited it for a while to be honest so not sure it's fully up to date either (scrolling this site earlier on my phone was dreadful) & yes no Briar. There is also the privacy vs security aspect which are two different things of course :)

Gauff 🇪🇺2d ago

@Natanox @ElysianEve @ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon What about @delta ?

ElysianEve 🇪🇺2d ago

@gaufff @Natanox @ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon @delta The base problem remain, privacy fatigue (meaning that when you ask someone using another app), stick to one remain the best to not fatigue them

@gaufff @Natanox @ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon @delta

adb 2d ago

@ElysianEve yep, absolutely the "fatigue" doesn't come from someone asking them to switch to Telegram, then Signal, when that one gets bad the next centralized phone-number based app that is "not enshitified yet"...

Alexia Starling

@ElysianEve @signalapp @Mastodon @ondra @dopatwo

not element as its terrible*

* and can't really be saved

ElysianEve 🇪🇺1d ago

@alexia @signalapp @Mastodon @ondra @dopatwo The issue with Element (matrix) it's the fact the default settings are horrible and it's not secure at all for example every single group is not encrypted by defaults

Alexia Starling

1d ago

@ElysianEve @signalapp @Mastodon @ondra @dopatwo

Sigh...

There is no PFS, it doesn't ratchet often enough.
There is no cryptographically verified membership–a malicious admin can just take over sessions and insert users into rooms
There is no metadata privacy, the server can see whom you talk to, when, which rooms you're in, etc

I could go on
The fact that some clients (because really, this depends on the client) don't encrypt by default is a small issue in comparison.

ElysianEve 🇪🇺1d ago

@alexia @signalapp @Mastodon @ondra @dopatwo True, if only signal would allow something like.

We allow identity server with those partner (as they need server with specifics secure enclave from intel to maintain total privacy).

Ans allow nearly everyone to host a "data server" (fully encrypted anyway).

it would be a lot better for signal resistance at it would become impossible to be downed

Always depends on who you are asking.

Also in the future who knows which service/-s will implement Signal protocols into some fediverse compliant software that a lot of people might be using.

Trying to tell people what's gonna happen in the future is like being on thin ice...one's promises may break at any given moment due to an extremely complex world.

Signal got issues, but we seek out the lesser evil...always...

Daniel Ares 2d ago

@ondra @Mastodon @signalapp @dopatwo I find it a bit funny how "decentralization" became the buzzword on the Fediverse, just like the techbros on X or Linkedin do it with AI or blockchain. There's a reason and a market for products with decentralization or AI and without it. It's good to have alternatives. None of those features solve all problems.

@daniel Agree that decentralization isn't always necessary (or good even) and that it's better to have alternatives. It's just weird to see @Mastodon who's basically whole raison d'être is decentralization, promote @signalapp.
Centralized communication service is not as resilient, creates incredibly valuable target etc. It's just a matter of time.
I find it similarly funny to see people throw around privacy as a buzzword without any regard for freedom (of choice, repair etc.), BTW.

@dopatwo

Ted 2d ago

@ondra @daniel @Mastodon @signalapp @dopatwo Signal is the gold-standard in E2EE messaging. Decentralized chat apps have proven to be buggy and unreliable over and over again. There's a reason "Unable to decrypt message" is a meme.

Until a decentralized chat app can be as stable, secure, and easy-to-use as Signal, there's no reason to bash others for recommending a centralized chat app.

@tedstechtips Sure, but that @signalapp is currently the best option for many doesn't mean it's perfect and people can't point out its flaws. @daniel @Mastodon

Bluewall 2d ago

@ondra @tedstechtips @signalapp @daniel @Mastodon Not being "decentralized" is not a flaw. Same shit as people saying only open source stuff is worth it.

Daniel Ares 2d ago

@ondra I think you're reading too much into it. They're promoting the stickers and not the app. Probably mainly because there is already a large overlap of users. Do the decentralised alternatives even support stickers?

Killab33z O.G.

@ondra @dopatwo @signalapp @Mastodon if you're required to use a phone number to use a service and you're not permitted to run your own server to integrate on the same network, then why promote a centralized walled garden; & they have their own cryptocurrency they did not want to tell anyone about until it was completely integrated into the codebase which they weren't publicly publishing those code changes (no transparency!). What could go wrong with such a service?

Bluewall 2d ago

@ondra Oh my god not EVERYTHING NEEDS to be decentralized. Signal is an awesome product.

@Bluewall As long as you have a phone number, smartphone with Android or iOS, it isn't blocked in your country etc.

Bluewall 2d ago

@ondra Signal does have a proxy parameter for that.
I don't understand your vandetta against Signal tbh.
Mastodon is promoting a free, open source top to bottom, secure and privacy oriented messaging solution. I don't see ANYTHING wrong with that.

Eugen Rochko 2d ago

@cos @Mastodon @dopatwo @signalapp It says they're not usable by the flagship client. Sounds like stickers are still a spec proposal open since 2020.

Nafeon #CSD #Leipzig 2d ago

@Gargron @cos

Yes the spec is still open there are 2 different ways how to add stickers. One for element and schildi and one for the other clients, but it is missing a singular way.

The whole furry fandom is currently not able to move to matrix because of that single issue, but it is a real issue.

@Mastodon @dopatwo

ciara 2d ago

@Gargron @cos @Mastodon @dopatwo @signalapp yes and no, there’s multiple standards and multiple different client implementations

@cos @Mastodon @dopatwo @signalapp Matrix is problematic for obvios reasons too, but I would use them in xmpp.

I can't use them, as I switched from #SignalApp.
But that's it: I can't give up my peace of mind :)

@Mastodon

Is this sticker pack also available for other uses? E.g. as custom emojis for a #Fediverse instance or as graphics for websites?

@nick @Mastodon @signalapp @dopatwo yes pls, will be helpful to have a link to download them outside Signal. I will like to import them in xmpp.

Andy Piper 2d ago

@kyva @nick no plans for this at the moment but I hear and see the request, so we will see what we can do.

@Mastodon @dopatwo @signalapp I get my friends to Masto, who then experience being able to find nothing (everyone is scattered across hard -to-link /see / follow domains?), being unfound themselves, being unable to quote, only 'retoot' with zero context. I'm sure there are boffins out there who could smooth this out, being they're the biggest obstacles to enjoying Masto for new users and laypersons.
