I think it's the opposite. On Mastadon you can make a new account on a better server ie mods more aligned with you. On bluesky if you make a new account and say a similar bannable thing again you'll be banned again.

Conversations for android is an example of a good XMPP client.

The protocol is worse for privacy

'Trust me bro'

The problem is, you're comparing apples with orchards. Analogous would be: 'email is worse for privacy than yahoomail'. Plus in this scenario yahoomail only lets you send emails to yahoomail addresses.

Phone numbers are no longer required iirc

Phone numbers are still required to register and maintain an account. Only difference now is you can choose to hide it from other users and give people a 'username' to look you up with instead.

Matrix and XMPP are not alternatives and are worse for privacy and security

XMPP is exactly as good or bad for privacy as the servers and clients you choose. It's a protocol, not a service. Unlike Signal, which is a brand/app/service package.

While we're at it, free Dan Duggan, imprisoned on behalf of the US with no local charges, awaiting extradition accused of something that isn't even a crime here.

I have to correct you there. The full unredacted cables are still online on various sites. Including cryptome. They have been online this entire time. Yes, no-one was harmed, but not because they put the cat back in the bag (you can't). Once other sites had published it, WikiLeaks republished the full trove as a risk-mitigation measure so that the compromised names could quickly make themselves aware that their name was out there. WL also contacted the State Department to try and warn them of the risk. There is footage of this.

The US spent tons of money trying to find anyone who'd been harmed by Manning's leaks but found no-one.

WikiLeaks had been drip-feeding big stories based on the cables. The compromise of the encryption key to the full unredacted archive by Luke Harding and David Leigh of the Guardian put a stop to this unfortunately. They stupidly published the encryption key in their book. Once people found the encrypted file online it didn't take long to put 2 and 2 together.

RT was one of many broadcasters the show was licensed to. Including Youtube.

It was produded independently.

Wikipedia is not proof. The sources it links, CNN and Reuters, are not proof.

Calling me names doesn't make you right.

Ever heard of licensing?

The WikiLeaks statement said RT, an English-language network launched by the Kremlin in 2010, obtained a license to broadcast the show but was not involved in the production process or the editorial decision-making, which was overseen by Assange.

Quoted from: https://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/julian-assanges-tv-show-gets-launch-date/news-story/3db33f96811bf274505ac3ce65c8a469

Distinguished journalist and publisher Julian Assange is free and finally home, but he spent 13 years in detention, of which over 5 years in a high security prison before being sentenced to time served. The empire's clutches reach far and wide. Australia and the United Kingdom accept the US' jurisdictional overreach. The precedent set by his decade and a half of persecution and torture will have lasting consequences for our right to speak and hear of US government crimes. Julian was coerced to plead guilty to the crime of journalism as criminalised by the Espionage Act (1917) even as he believes it is in contradiction with the First Amendment of the US constitution. Today we celebrate Julian's return home to us. Tomorrow we declare our independence.

David vs Goliath in a nutshell:

Government: 'he stole [newspeak for copied] information but we can't tell you what it is, so we took it off his lawyers and put it in a safe. We'll all refer to it as the docs in the safe.'

Judiciary: 'oh, ok, np!'

Defence Department Whistleblower: 'Those docs showed what I believed to be leadership misconduct. I have no defence now; I plead guilty.'

6 months later...

Government: 'Please jail him with non-parole period'

Judiciary: 'lemme think about this for another week 🤔'
