Need your suggestions to this.
A newly declassified report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence reveals that the federal government is buying troves of data about Americans.
Apparently, they are a decentralized social media that supports E2EE messenging service. https://wiremin.org/
I was gonna say SimpleX too, its kind of popular in Russia tho, I saw someone made this comparison chat, so I guess WireMin is a private messenger too.
Me too, its just sometime fediverse still got censorship.
Its better for me, but it might not be for you?
X users after Elon says he's gonna starts charging to use X:
Eventually everyone needs to pay for using X. Migrating already
Even though this news hasn't been proven, a small fee still means we'll have to pay him. I do believe it might help eliminate bots or spam, but from the moment he starts charging, it will no longer be a social media platform for everyone. It's pretty hilarious that freedom of speech now comes at a price.
I'm already on WireMin. Twitter is no longer my only choice when it comes to freedom of speech, especially since it's linked to my personal information, and Elon can monitor all of my social activities there. Decentralized social media platforms seem like the right way to go, like WireMin and Damus.
Glad to see someone is on WireMin, I do wish more people knew about WireMin. Mastodon just wasn't enough for me; it lacked a community vibe. It felt like I was sending out posts that no one noticed.
WireMin gives me a sense of belonging, catering to geeks, privacy enthusiasts, and those seeking censorship resistance. Especially in the discovery section, it's much easier for people to connect and have meaningful conversations, whether one-on-one or in groups. I created a feed space for myself to share hilarious programming pics. It's rewarding to see strangers like and comment on my posts.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied with WireMin for now. At least, I don't have to worry about fees, censorship, or privacy issues. They claim they're free and will remain so.
Is it the right one? http://wiremin.org/ Looks interesting.
Privacy or censorship - which one would you ditch if you had to choose?
I will go first, Privacy.
That feeling when I spent a long time on a post, and they either remove it or won't even allow me to send it.
Why are some people still staying at Twitter?
Content is title.
Are you still on Twitter? If so, why? If not, where have you migrated to?
So, Freedom of Speech allows them to censor us.
Elon claims that Twitter/X supports freedom of speech, but in reality, it’s more about collecting data from you.
This makes it easier for big tech to train their AI or refine their algorithms, and even for the gov to spy on you. Like in China, I believe it’s primarily for big data.
No E2EE is a dealbreaker for messaging apps these days because of the rampant data leaks on social media and messenger platforms. And, I don't believe E2EE is effective on centralized apps since they still store our chat histories on their cloud servers. Digital issues have become more frequent and severe in the Web 2.0 era, primarily due to the actions of major tech companies and other powerful entities and their monopolistic behaviors. I hope more people realize that Web 3.0 is on the horizon. It's not just about crypto; it represents decentralization and digital democracy. No more concerns about privacy breaches, identity exposures, or data leaks.
But it won't work, these are centralized platforms, which means whatever you searched, or typted in, they will collect these histories as data into their central server.
Fun fact, 86% of the revenue for these big tech (Twitter/Meta/Google/YT) are from ads. 😀
Try this: https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/wiremin
It allows users to remain anonymous by only asking me to create a username and set a password. And all of the messesages or feed are E2EE.
This network can't be stop by anyone, as it operates on a P2P decentralized network. As long as there are active users, it can continue to function and is self-sustaining.
1 month WireMin user. To be honest I don't really care about privacy issue, if they want to use my data for maybe selling them to 3rd-party companies or train their AI whatever. But limiting me to say whatever I want? Nah-ah For now, no one ever remove my content in any chat room on WireMin so far. And I run a NSFW chat room, it did not get banned so far, so I do believe they are decentralized, no one is able to ban my space or my account on there, even the creator or dev team. (Feel free to join, if you want to: https://i.wiremin.com/invite/?g=k48849439784) And all users remain anonymous, so that somehow helps a lot with Freedom of Expression? Cuz we know No Privacy = No Freedom. I am pretty satisfied with WireMin for now, compares to Reddit, Twitter, etc.
True, registering with just a username and password was much more privacy-focused, cuz at least we don't need to hand out our personal info.
While tech companies claim they use phone number/email verification for enhanced security, the reality is that they often expose our personal information to advertisers and provide hackers with more valuable data. This is especially concerning when everything is stored on a central cloud server.
Thank got, we have decentralized IMs available rn. While using the old way to register and having top-tier security because of the decentralized nature, messages are sent peer-to-peer n end-to-end, ensuring that data like chat histories and passwords are stored only on our devices.
Keeping all data in one place can only result in misuse of data or data leaks.
Big tech = Data master
