That’s bullshit.

A) Privacy =/= anonymity

B) They have usernames and the option to hide your number from searches for those interested.

C) Signal has absolutely no way of accessing any of your information: https://signal.org/bigbrother/ They publish all their subpoenas and there is no information that are able to collect. It’s all encrypted.

D) Phone numbers are an easy way onboard the normies and Meta addicts that don’t value privacy.

An old pc running Linux mint and kodi is my current setup in the living room.

Don’t ever connect a “smart” tv to the internet. It’s only going to become shit and steal your data.

Raspberry Pi, old pc or any kind of other external player will always be better for connectivity and control.

This is what shows up when I check Element. Every other Federated app that I use doesn’t collect any information. Voyager, Pixelfed, Peertube, Mastodon all come up with “No data collected”

There is a difference between willing information that you put out there and data gathering that goes on without your consent.

Public chats are not my concern. That’s information I’m putting out there willingly.

Location data is something I don’t want anyone collecting without my consent.

Why does Element need to know where I’m located? Why is that being gathered with my identifiers?

Why use Element for matrix?

From what I can tell it collets and links data to you: Location, identifiers and contact information.

How is that private or better than Signal?

Heya! I’m looking to get into self hosting. Any recommendations on good beginner tutorials or resources?

Fuck your shit ai.

I’m going to have to go down the rabbit hole of making my own website soon. Just curious but would there be an easy way to show a pop up just to people using chrome?

No reason in particular… 😏

Those prices sound 30% too low at the minimum. You definitely deserve more.

Prevent massive companies from running them?

Take the digital tracking out?

Stop recommending children to strangers as friends?

Remove actual hate speech?

Fact check news being shared?

Enable viewing without an account?

Improving services without enshitifying the base experience?

Allow ad blockers?

Lock Musk in a little box of screams till the heat death of the universe?

Going to check this out later today. Thanks so much for sharing!
