I'm new here. I'm anti tech cis dudes that refuse to reflect and undo toxic behavior, and like to call those comrades (if they want so) that do.
my gender: human
my pronoun: it/they/them/human
my interest for being here:
promoting and sharing thoughts about: secure communication, that puts the user and their usecases into the center of considerations.
I'm here for learning, and tryn to take what I learned to contribute back to freesoftware projects such as @tails

While there is some controversy about #lemmy, a reddit alike platform, I'd like to introduce you to https://postmill.xyz/.
#postmill
It is similar to reddit/lemmy, has proper moderation tools, does not require javascript to use, has inbuilt wiki, is build with privacy in mind, floss and simple to use, has night mode.
It is mostly build by emma, an anti-authoritarian trans women
.
Instead of requesting donations for herself at their gitlab page they ask you to donate to #TransCrowdFund
so basically #signal has now a Facebook integration, "thanks" to #facebook acquiring #Giphy.
Not good.
you can't register an account without a phone number, but you can receive data from facebook. Not good.
I wonder how difficult it would be for facebook to track signal users through microdot injections into the gifs.
Minimizing attack surface is good.
Meanwhile: Gregg who works at Signal as a user experience researcher is aksing users to fill out a #google form.

@[email protected] The first sentence in the form is "We believe in privacy" and yet . . . it's a Google Form. That's one of the many many reasons I can't stand OWS lol
The privacy.io community at matrix is somewhat toxic. After raising criticism against gab and the support for #gab @ (a network of and for white supremacists) multiple people used appeal to ridicule to dilute criticism against supporting the far-right.
Moderators that were present didn't care or supported it.
"Tinfoil Chat (TFC) is a FOSS+FHD peer-to-peer messaging system that relies on high assurance hardware architecture to protect users from passive collection, MITM attacks and most importantly, remote key exfiltration.
#TFC is designed for people with one of the most complex threat models: organized crime groups and nation state hackers who bypass end-to-end encryption of traditional secure messaging apps by hacking the endpoint."

Maybe this is the moment I'm done with EFF.
So many people have switched to conference tools facilitated by free software, and EFF still promotes facebook live.
I'm again, strongly disappointed.
#whonix is some great piece of software, but their politics just sucks.
Promoting and educating facists about preserving privacy and anonymity, is not exactly something you should do.
(#gab is a social network known for hosting facists and for radicalizing people towards facism)
@micahflee since you're on the frontpage of the whonix website, could you please request them to stop supporting gab?
