Yea. But to an extent it’s your choice to participate you can just not give a fuck about what’s not your problem or concern as long as you get paid.

Wow, looks like someone’s got a a case of the muhndays!
Do you think the genie got it from twitter war brainrot or just did too much of the sensory content back in his skibidi days?
Who even cares anymore. The sheepfolk don’t. They cheered on the death of our free and open internet. It’s everyone for themselves now.
This. Mastodon is better than twitter by the virtue of not being a neo-nazi hangout spot owned by a hack. But it’s still a twitter which was always shit celeb culture circlejerk
Nah I don’t think anyone is implying that massive megacorps draining small global south towns of water is a good thing actually apart from the boogeymen in your head. AI is good and does solve problems, but only when it’s an open source model you run yourself for a particular purpose. I know it may be shocking but data centres existed just the same before corpo-AI and they were problematic for the climate all the same then. Please touch grass and rid yourself of the degrowth internet brainrot.
Better Rain World than Rain Man
Tbf Devs are usually massive pieces of shit as well, thousands of over-inflated egos, cutthroat techbros and cynical asset-swappers who hate g*mers more than necessary out there for every one decent fella or lady who’s autistic about meshes or render pipelines, but prob works for a Chinese online casino optimizing animation timings for whale click-through.
Huh? Why not? Genuine question, I never bought in at launch
Black Ops 2 was so good, especially with that theme by the mass effect guy and the nine inch nails guy
Why?
There is no policy that “works for everyone” when we cannot agree on the basic facts of reality. If one side says “we shouldn’t pollute the sky so much that we can never see the sun” and the other side says “there is no sky”, there is no way forward, only upwards, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
Another Nintendo classic. Never given em any money and ain’t about to start.
They disabled desktop registration
Huh? Worked for me.
then can randomly ban people who try to make their usage of the platform more private/anonymous…
Telegram literally only banned CSAM.
Then there is censorship, at least here. And I have heard of at least one case of cooperation with German LE, so it’s not “untouchable” for Westerners too.
Source? Because they’re pretty transparent about it and have only ever banned CSAM. If that’s what you mean by “censorship” please KYS
It was never safe with such an approach of “I can close my eyes and pretend the law doesn’t apply to me” even in the West
Except that it was, and that’s why people used it.
If it was hostile to privacy and anonymity by design
No it wasn’t? It was literally the private anonymous messenger and that’s why people used it.
it was a matter of time until it became wide open to Western LE too
No it wasn’t, or they wouldn’t have had to arrest Durov.
The sheer amount of compromate it had on users was a ticking time bomb.
Yeah, but so is every good thing.
“Highly decentralized complexity” - what does that even apply to?
The subject matter at hand - Telegram. It was legally a complex mess of shell companies in weird jurisdictions. That’s why the glowies couldn’t touch it, the level of international cooperation it would require is far beyond the realistic means of any government. This is why they had to arrest Durov and offer him life in prison or to open up, there was nothing else they could do.
That would apply to Matrix, XMPP, Simplex, especially Briar.
It would if any of these worked, or were used by anyone at all.
Even Signal can technically be selfhosted (whether it is feasible is another question)
I don’t want to self-host my criminal messenger, i live deep in five eyes shit.
in Telegram you can’t have even that because the server is closed.
I’m fine with that, as long as it’s out of the glowies hands, but fella couldn’t stay away from the hairy pits I guess
Move out asap. Being trans in Florida is like being gay or trans or a woman or all three in Afghanistan or Russia. It ain’t wise
I have in my life met two people who used signal. They did it because I suggested it. They are both senior cybersec folks.
No? There’s a pretty good reason every criminal used telegram. I’ve never seen any attempts at combatting anonymity much less censorship.
Likely TG got unbanned in Russia for cooperating with LEOs there, but while awful, that doesn’t really matter if you’re a westerner, even Ukrainian armed forces used it, and for the average substance enjoyer it was still much safer to use than any Five Eyes app due to its intentional highly decentralised complexity, and unlike Signal it actually works and is pleasant to use. Now they are straight up handing data over to British cops.
No, I have literally never heard of Haveno-reto. Most people back around the shutdown were just saying everyone should use atomic swaps. Thanks for the heads up.
Hard agree. I would also like to add that I think a lot of people remember forums a lot better than they were. Federation keeps admins and mods act as checks and balances on instances
*Nothing personal ofc db0 you run an awesome instance.
