I don’t see why you’re so certain that this is a pro-Putin post if literally the only thing it says is that there are nazis in Ukraine and that that seems to surprise people. You are the one making assumptions about OP’s intentions.

Stating that there are nazis in Ukraine doesn’t automatically equate pro-Putinism

Daemonia Nymphe! Love them.

I’ve certainly not seen someone wipe his ass with the people’s vote quicker than this guy.

Me and my husband do the same. It might seem silly but I can’t stress the importance of sharing a meal together enough. It helps teach kids so many things in a shared household.

…Everything.

Oh, I see. Sorry.

If only that meant they’re safe and will actually be defended.

Great news. Thanks once more for all your hard work!

He edited that book, didn’t write it, but okay, I like him too. His work on propaganda about Venezuela is fantastic.

I was not able to install any extensions on Cromite, how did you manage it?

There is absolutely nothing questionable about what he said, that article you linked just says they tried to dig up dirt on him and what they found was ridiculously unscandalous

They use Adblock Plus though. Would not recommend.

It all kinda boils down to the Cambridge Analytica scandal for me. Harvesting people’s locations and data, accessing and logging our daily lives is what facilitates mass manipulation of the public’s opinion, therefore distorting their view of the world and killing freedom of thought. GAFAM and others are specialists in controlling their users. I ultimately don’t want to be profiled, controlled and/or rail-roaded in any aspect of my life.

Brutal.

This is the way.

I’m not very tech-savvy, and that article looks very nice, but it’s kind of old and it’s true that they haven’t been as transparent (and frequently audited) as other services and they still require a phone number to set up an account, even if you can switch to only using a username later. Also, they removed encrypted database, and Molly brings that back which is the main reason I use it. Another thing I don’t like about Signal is how ferociously they’ve tried to shut down forks in the past, and how they don’t say that you need Google Play Services for it to work properly. Sadly it’s the only “privacy-conscious” service I’ve managed to make most of my family and friends use, after trying for years.

I see. Thanks.

I use the Molly-FOSS fork, do you know if that removes the metadata collection? I know it doesn’t use any Google Play Services and it comes with its own notification bubble though.
