@altair222 My main app to use is Molly.
If I had an Edward Snowden threat model, then I would use Session regardless of politics. It’s the best way to ensure that they don’t know who’s talking to who and the contents of the messages.
I despise how people make platforms and tools politicized. They were never meant to be. I use different apps with supposed affiliations but as long as I don’t engage with those people, that’s one more normal person on the platform keeping the balance.
The direction a communication service takes entirely depends on the political affiliations of their developers. Everything is political in nature, politics is merely the study of social systemic structures that humans develop.
@AnonymousEntity @altair222 so say you are a lefty, green or democrat, people should just boycott your work or stop employing you, due to that? I don’t condone anything here, but that is absolutely absurd! 🤦🤡
@chiefbongo @altair222 for me, privacy and anonymity is what it is. I’ll use whatever’s available to obtain it. Using those services won’t benefit them since it’s free and open source.
@AnonymousEntity @altair222 don’t get me wrong - I am a-political. This cancel culture is just becoming a thoughtless norm and people should start speaking up about it. Every human being has a right to put food on the table, no matter what. Who cares if someone is interested in wild sex parties or political affiliations, a certain religion or whatever other fancy. Nobody has a right to judge or condemn, as long as it does not affect someones professionalism at work.
a-political person who has political opinions.
