At this point, it's clear that #Mastodon is the (only?) safe choice.

#Threads #Twitter #Bluesky are all owned by #people with nefarious intentions.

@sjvn Gopher was great! It warms my heart to see it's still around. RealPlayer on the other hand deserved the absolute worst. 🤣

So which secure communication methods do you recommend, other than the postal service?

It isn't just common among younger folks, but those in my age and older. I am in my early 40s and some of those people are not only older but work in InfoSec!

Let that sink in.

The real danger of the "I have nothing to hide" response is time. *Right now* you may not have anything to hide, but since the #american people decided to re-elect a criminal #fascist with a penchant for authoritarianism, that may change. And then you WILL have something to hide!

At this point there is NO reason *not* to use it. The challenge I frequently encounter is convincing others to use it. The common responses are:

"I already use WhatsApp."
"I use Telegram."
"The government already knows everything about us, so what's the point? I have nothing to hide anyway."
