This analogy will become our motto: big tech social media is the new tobacco.
We’re taking far too long to realize it’s a cancer for democracies.

A lot of messaging systems try to reinvent the email system but many (signal, matrix, xmpp) took over one key traditional design which we actually dropped while retaining SMTP/IMAP compatibility: server-controlled identities.
With #chatmail user identities are cryptographic and reside on end user devices only. Servers are only message relays and have no control over identities or chats, only perform fast message routing.

@delta Reminds me of SimpleX, if you can add quantum-resistant encryption and easy multi profile management and throwaway (incognito) profiles like simplex then the privacy and anonymity features would probably be on par and I'd consider switching to get away from the far right dev team.

“[US] Democrats made their wager: from the presidential nominee down to local candidates, they fully deployed the popularist strategy of moderate, “kitchen table” messaging. The result? A Republican trifecta…
Successful anti-authoritarian movements do not win by softening their positions. They win by building unlikely coalitions around a broadly resonant grievance.”

The Supreme Court is considering a case challenging Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — and it’s expected to overturn it, a change that legal historians say would make it easier to dilute Black voting power and roll back decades of political gains.

“Only our enemies have such capabilities.”
Bold statement for people who won’t shut up about being superior.
Maybe it’s not enemies.
Maybe it’s basic IT literacy.
More on WhiteDate admins soon.

I also have been thinking about this connection, it is so damn obvious, but no one in the media is talking about it.
The rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connection to the oil industry.
It has been obvious to anyone willing to stop for a moment and think... but #TheAmericanFascist, in his infinite wisdom and/or senility, has thrown down the veil.
#Venezuela is about access to #Oil in South America.
#Greenland is about access to Oil and Minerals in the #Arctic.
#Alberta Separatism is about access to Oil and Gas in #Canada.
Deposing the Iranian Regime is access to Oil and Gas in the Middle East. (Get #Iran, and you might get #Iraq too)
And lets not forget #Russia... fighting the #RussiaUkraineWar funded by their oil reserves and all about returning to an old empire in oil-rich Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
So is the fight to end fossil fuel use in order to preserve a liveable, recognizable planet, also a fight against authoritarianism and fascism?
You're damn right it is.

My fellow Canadians, if you want to be part of the USA, you can move there freely on your own. I encourage you to do so.
"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby ahead of the meeting.
