• I need advice - Project 2025

  Https://ssd.eff.org/ and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/ which say in summary use open source and encrypted solutions. Also replace your current services with privacy respecting services when you can. Source: 9 months ago

• Need help ensuring safe communication

  I'd start here: https://ssd.eff.org/ and https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/mediacenter/security/how-to-protect-your-privacy/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fat means of dealing with an obsessed stalker?

  In terms of privacy: start by setting your accounts to private. Change your voicemail password. Add a PIN to your phone and bank when transacting on the phone. Pull your credit and look for suspicious pulls. Use a service to erase your online footprint. Follow the "Surveillance Self Defense" guide the EFF puts out (https://ssd.eff.org/).

• Confused about the starting point in the privacy focused digital life

  One thing that helps is to first conduct an honest threat profile on yourself. Few of us require extreme measures, some of us can get by with several tweaks while making mindful choices going forward. Sometimes, people fall into the rabbit hole of thinking they need to go from 0 to 10 when a 3 or 5 is better for their situation. One situation might warrant your briefly using a 7 setting, then setting your privacy... Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I best prime a team of volunteers to prepare to counter advanced threats at home?

  Https://ssd.eff.org/ might be one good place to start. More generally, if you are being attacked by adversaries for journalistic work, the EFF may be able to help or refer you to experts. Source: about 1 year ago

• Twitter’s Encrypted DMs Are Deeply Inferior to Signal and WhatsApp. The social network's new privacy feature is technically flawed, opt-in, and limited in its functionality. All this for just $8 a month.

  I love how Matrix or its most popular client Element do not even get a mention. Source: about 1 year ago

• A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

  The title undersells the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on https://mastodon.social which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse. Personally, I'm largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it's what https://element.io has been doing for https://matrix.org since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Paying users get early access to the new change

  We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that... Source: about 1 year ago

  Please DM me if you are interested in hiring me or have any questions at all. We will work via Element (https://element.io) voice/screen share calls, so please make sure you have a mic available. I look forward to hearing from you. Source: about 1 year ago

• Discord alternatives?

  Your best bet is probably matrix, the most user friendly client iirc is element. Source: about 1 year ago
