Personal take: self-promotion is the one thing you don't have to and shouldn't CW.

We WANT to support you. We WANT to see the cool stuff you're doing. Don't hide your light under the bushel of a CW.

Stop Using WhatsApp If You Care About Your Privacy

Privacy has always been a key feature and popular selling point for the messaging app WhatsApp. Company co-founder Jan Koum grew up in the Soviet Union under heavy government surveillance, and he promised to keep user data protected after Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014. Now, with Koum on the way out, it may be time to ditch WhatsApp before that promise leaves with him.

fuck anybody who wants to hurt people tbh.

instead of replacing your password, just hurl your computer into the sun, and every computer that has ever handled it. together we can implement strong, horizontal security standards by destroying everything.

Hey everyone! As you might know already, a.weirder.earth suffered a catastrophic hardware failure, taking us down for about 2 weeks and forcing us to move to a completely new instance.

A lot of us (myself included) didn't back up our follows either. So we're very much on square one.

How you can help:

- Contribute to #ff (follow friday) tomorrow. Everyone could do with the follow suggestions.
- Check your follows. If anyone is from 'a.weirder.earth', refollow them on 'weirder.earth'.

Thanks!

if you believe that yelling at a tech company when they fuck up will just lead to them hiding information about future fuckups from users, then you believe in a tech industry which is not mature enough to deal with righteous anger, and while this is probably a valid belief about the tech industry right now, i would like to point out that there is no real reason why that has to be the case, and we should maybe stop giving them passes on it tbh

Would you kiss? Boop for yes, share for also yes,

Amazon threatens to suspend Signal's AWS account over censorship circumvention https://signal.org/blog/looking-back-on-the-front/

Amazon and Google are both coming out opposed to people using their services for domain fronting, to circumvent censorship.

Note that Signal is actively blocked in Egypt, Oman, UAE, and Iran. So, that sucks.
