Excellent write up about choosing the right private messenger for yourself; weighing different factors against your threat model. By @danarel who runs https://thinkprivacy.io/
@danarel I like how the go out of their way to explain themselves instead of needing community backlash to make it happen.

Please keep in mind that polls on ActivityPub services are not anonymous. Server admins of the instance that created the poll can see who voted for what. Don't use this to elect anything or fall for an illusion due to a missing UI.
@ChrisWere is it mostly latency, or just bandwidth shortage?
@micahflee imagine running anything else then qubes os as your daily driver

+ I'm old enough to remember the Web of the 1990s/ 2000s.
It was a maze. You followed hypertext links, stumbled into forums and early troll-caves, used Slashdot and GoTo, experimented with LiveJournal and Blogger.
It wasn't safe, it was filled with weirdness, appealed heavily to geeks and loners. Being on the web in that era was a serious trip.
But it wasn't corporate. It wasn't the tool of major governments, yet. It was defiantly decentralised, and when you were online...
... you felt free.

Concentration camps in China
I'm really glad that there are so many leaks coming out of Xinjiang right now. People are risking their lives to get this information out, and I don't think China's Communist Party has ever faced leaks of classified documents of this magnitude before. Fuck fascism
@Gina @kungtotte they changed the board game " de kolonisten van catan (the colonists of catan) to just "catan" for the same odd reasoning.
@micahflee maybe windows ltsb?
