Perusing a paper paper for once I saw this advert for WhatsApp.

No I can believe the content of your message can not be read, but by using it, your address book is theirs, your messages sent/received are logged and you will be tracked wherever you are - and whatever you are buying.

That’s what they really want.

Go #Signal - it makes sense

Watching the #LiveAid highlights on #BBC and LOLing at the guys at the front spraying a few members of the crowd with a hand held water sprayer… then upgrading to a hose…. then resorting to just lobbing buckets of water randomly 🤣 also, that’s helping maybe a few dozen people if that at the very front, what about the thousands of others 🤷🏼

A very “surprising pattern” that people don’t want to use fucking shit that doesn’t fucking work and depends on stealing people’s work and fucking lighting the mother-fucking planet on fire while feeding their fucking money into the greedy throats of billionaires.

So Bluesky is about to require people to verify their age, which means sharing their real identity. I’ve no problem with people knowing my identity but then I’m not trying to hide from abusers. Or explore my gender. Or be a whistleblower. Or protest without getting arrested. Or or or… there are so many reasons people need anonymity.

Despite being myself online I am not keen to show Bluesky my scanned face or my bank card. So I guess I won’t be sticking around there.

I gave my advice before I left, which was “Switch to Mastodon, nobody there cares who you are, as long as you’re funny.”
