If I was trying to scam you i wouldn't exactly admit to it :)

I have been with them from the early alpha stage to present. They are almost releasing into beta. So far, no alarm bells have gone off in my head. They are very open and transparent and have answered nearly every question that is posed to them by the community. I would suggest checking out their discord server and seeing for yourself. Plus, if you join their Discord server, you will get earlier access.

P.S. I have been using it for a couple months now and it has been working. It is also working for the couple hundred other alpha testers. So, it works.

I'm running a yunohost server with a Nextcloud instance on top. I've got nextcloud syncing my files, of course. I use WebDav/WebCal for syncing all of my contacts and calendars across my linux and android devices.

I think around 200,000 seems pretty accurate going off of lemmyverse.net. I sorted the instances by number of users and it seems like it would add up good. The first five servers were 36k, 19k, 11k, 8k, 4k users. After that it was just a bunch of instances with less than 2k users. But that doesn't mean we can't get it up to 6 million :) Let's keep on welcoming the redditers.

 

I know that in a lot of privacy communities they recommend to use uBlock in addition to Privacy Badger. The reason for this, I believe, is the uBlock functions off of block lists while Privacy Badger functions by recognizing the behavior of trackers. Does Brave Shields only function off of block lists or should I also install privacy badger? Please correct me if I got any of those details wrong.

Wow, we only have 128,000 while mastadon has 2 million? We got a lot of ground to catch up :)

I'm self-hosting some stuff on a yunohost server but i plan to switch to start9 once they add support for clearnet.

  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Calibreweb
  • Email (though I don't really use it)

I would be hosting more but our internet is too slow for anything else to really be effective.

Aha, never mind, I found the answer to my question above. Thanks for clarifying your point. Not sure if i agree 100%, but a viable point nevertheless.

Hey, I'm not sure why we are over analyzing Helix's message. I'd be interested in the connections you made between covid and digital privacy. It kinda sounds like your saying lack of digital privacy led to the pandemic. I don't think your saying that. Would you by any chance be referencing the tracking violations by the cdc? Or maybe that China's zero covid policy and tracking? Maybe I've got you wrong but those are the only connections that I have made.

P.S. Sorry if you have already answered a similar question. I didn't see it in the text thread.

I definitely agree. From what I understand about email security it's more of a safety net of security right below the tight-rope. What needs to be done is we just need to build a bridge instead of making everyone use the tight-rope.

 

Breaking news! It's now raining cats and dogs! No . . . wait, Google is just planning to implement E2EE. I just thought the former occurrence was more likely than that latter. Yeah, so google is now implementing E2EE. That's a surprising bonus for the privacy committee. What do you all think, you think this is actually a step forward or will it just be a repeat of apple's "E2EE"

 

New android app allows for imessage and many other IM's on android.

Dang, that looks like a really cool combo! Only draw back, no imessage, which is unfortunately what most people use. But still looks pretty dang cool.

Hey everyone, I’ve got a software suggestion for all you android users. Here’s the cheesy sales pitch, though I’d share: Sunbird is a new All-In-One messenger that will hopefully be coming out in mid-2023. It will basically aggregate multiple messengers on android (whatsapp, facebook messenger, sms, rcs, discord, signal) including imessage! NO MORE GREEN BUBBLES!!! Best part (other than imessage), there going to keep it free for as long as they can. (at least that’s the vibe I’m getting from the discord server). This app looks so freaking cool! Currently they’ve just got it open to some alpha testers but they will start releasing it to beta list soon. Let me just say, the alpha’s screenshots of imessage are looking very nice. You can use this link to sign up for the beta https://sunbirdapp.com/?r=jVmdy

Update: Ok everyone, as far as my legitometer is a curate, they've got a ten. I got into the alpha testing and have been successfully sending imessages to people for a couple days now. This is incredibly impressive and I am so looking forward to its completion.
