Yes please! I have nothing against Lemmygrad, but I also don’t want them to overwhelm everything else from my All feed. Please let us block entire instances, not just communities.

You can care about privacy, or you can ask a phone number during sign up. Those things are mutually exclusive.

Don’t use Signal you care about privacy.

I had to reread this multiple times. I didn’t expect OnlyFans to call people terrorists :)

This is a typical LeopardsAteMyFace moment. Democrats spent years to kill online privacy and to get tech giants to act like online cops.

This abortion issue might finally convince the Democratic party about the value of privacy.

A few months ago it was a war crime to criticise Ukraine in any way. Now Amnesty publishes this. The tide is turning. It looks like inflation has scared West and they are about to betray and abandon Ukraine.

From what understand GCC supports more architectures than LLVM.

Also having alternatives is always nice.

Moskva disagrees.

Tanks are useless if you don’t have air superiority. They will just get blown up. Same with artillery. You can’t go on the offensive without controlling the skies.

Ukraine’s only real advantage is the Bayraktar drone.

The longer this war lasts, more Ukrainians will die and more territory Ukraine will lose. A ceasefire is in Ukraine’s interest.

Any reason why Zelensky is purging these people? They are not in the military, so the Russian advance can hardly be blamed on them.

We actually don’t know what WhatsApp is doing. It’s a closed source app, so there is nothing preventing Facebook from getting your keys and reading your chats. It just takes one national security letter to force them.

Telegram wins because it’s usable by non-techies. And has open source clients. And has a decent Linux client. It’s preferable to chatting over Instagram.

Of course it does. It just doesn’t have E2E encryption by default (you can turn it on with secret chats). If the alternative is messaging on Instagram, Facebook Messenger or WhatzApp, then Telegram is superiour.

I don’t think Signal is much easier than Matrix. This is why I’m so excited about Telegram. Telegram’s an easy to use and feature rich chat app that also has open source clients and decent Linux support. It’s great for using with non-techie friends. Matrix is great for using with techie friends. Signal is somewhere in between, and doesn’t really fullfill either role.
