That rabbit hole goes very deep, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to speak on it. It could very well be a crypto AG style honey-pot, or already cracked tech, that we might not know about for years to come.

Use the report button also to report transphobia, so we can get to it asap.

Cool, I originally thought about doing it that way, but maintaining allowlists and blocklists for all the different types of activities could get cumbersome (especially if we add things like blocking posts, comments, communities, messages, etc). But ya that’s a good issue to have.

It’s just some zionist’s blog site. You or I could make a site called official world bias meter and it’d be no more credible.

Even playing that way, monopoly is still a single-winner game of course, which is what elizabeth magie wanted to demonstrate.

Another other unintended lesson is that ruthless profit-seeking hacks will enclose / steal any idea or invention, reinvent it, and claim it as their own. It was and remains a model for silicon valley.

There is no reason to do any of that. No one forced signal to use phone numbers as their primary identifier, and plenty of privacy oriented chat programs don’t require that.

I’m sot trusting anything from signal themselves, just like I wouldn’t trust anything apple, microsoft, google, or any other US-based company with centralized services says about themselves.

Spoilers should be working fine on most clients, but it’s a front end thing.

Yep this has been a growing problem, with ppl using various alt accounts on different servers to downvote things. Usually it’s pretty obvious because these accounts are all from the same servers, and have little or no comments or posts.

With that setting you can be sure that all the votes at least are coming from your local users, keeping vote anonymity, and without disconnecting from the bigger servers.

A million Iraqi civilians died in the US wars on Iraq. They carpet bombed and let so many cities just burn.

Capitalism is not a tool that pays for social services. Its a system that allows private individuals to own the means of production (and along with those, the political systems, laws, and media of their domiciled countries) with the goal of extracting a profit from the sale of commodities produced by wage workers they employ.

Capitalists only apportion some of the surplus value stolen from workers to public services, when forced to by political agitation from below.

These proposals for ranked choice voting are a dead-end, because they already exist in many capitalist countries, and it doesn’t fix anything. They just stack any number of candidates they like, and have their media push the most friendly ones.

If you allow capitalists to own production, then the political system will always be subservient to them, and be nothing but puppets to serve their interests. Anyways here’s some more resources:

• Crash course socialism
• Capitalism doesnt work

That got added recently, but you still need a phone number to sign up. A phone number is tied to your identity, meaning that signal’s database has the names and addresses of everyone who uses it. And since signal is US-based, its subject to US national security letters, meaning its illegal for signal to tell anyone that the US government has requested information about who they’re talking to.

Under the Obama administration, an average of 60 NSLs were issued every single day.

This looks delicious… what’s the sauce on the chickpeas?

Some more about why the Nordic model isn’t socialism:

• What about social democracy / democratic socialism / the Nordic model? Isn’t Sweden socialist?
• Scandinavia’s covert role in western imperialism

I think they even have pen (like, writing pen) cameras that can fit inside a front pocket for pretty cheap.

Give me your phone number so I can chat with you on signal about this.

The US-state-department funding is important sure, but you also ignored every other point in that article.

Its impossible to have a government that represents the people, if capital stands above the political system.

Nato doesn’t kill people, doesn’t attack, does not do genocide and most relevant for the meme, it doesn’t redraw state lines.

NATO killed thousands of people, redrew state lines, and overthrew several governments, in yugoslavia, libya, afghanistan, and north africa.

It’s main enemies (and those of it’s member countries) are the anti-colonialist movement:

Almost all those can be self-hosted, and built from source, so matrix, xmpp, simplex, are fine. Don’t use anything that’s uses a centralized server in a five eyes country, like signal or threema.
