Yep! They even have segments like "Concerned with self-image". Really fucked up stuff..

I hate the fact that for a large number of people, this will be how they will be introduced to the fediverse and their view of it will be tainted by Meta. I also dread seeing Meta spam in my federated timeline. And I also fear Meta building its own proprietary features on top of the ActivityPub protocol, making the content generated with them incompatible with independent clients, and allowing Zuck to spread his monopoly to the fediverse as well.

This gave me nightmares as a kid

This looks really cool!

Holy heck, it almost seems like there is some counter-intel op against Signal going on here by the powers that be that doesn't want you to use it because of its encryption (see? even I can make conspiracy theories like this). Now let me copy-paste one of my earlier posts:

Governments routinely fund the development of secure and open communication systems because they themselves benefit from having such communication tools which can be trusted. By the logic presented in this "essay", one shouldn't be using the internet at all. What you need to check is whether Signal's technical claims about its encryption is true or not. There is nothing in this article that raises any question on Signal's encryption. We already know how much data Signal has on its users through their responses to various legal subpoenas over the years (spoiler: its pretty much nothing).

Mullvad is really good.

As someone from outside the West, the idea of just wiping with a tissue paper, and not using a bidet or its equivalent grosses me out tbh.

Looking at that small gap above the tall shelf makes me feel extremely infuriated

" The evidence is all there."

They aren't though.

Looking from your response to my comment, it certainly looks like it!

The ones I mentioned which are already existing are neither Lemmy nor kbin instances. They are pretty much all running on Mastodon.

Yep! Signal is the only decent privacy-oriented messaging app available right now, which can also be used easily the non-techy masses.

Medium already has an instance, and so does Vivaldi. Tumblr is planning on supporting federation. Although not really a corporate, Mozilla is also setting up its own instance (which is something I am happy about).

Worst of all, Meta is coming up with an ActivityPub platform. I am going to dread the day when my timeline will be flooded with posts from them.

Firefox with some customisations and uBlock Origin.

You will find some good options here https://www.privacyguides.org/en/multi-factor-authentication/#authenticator-apps

Don't expose me like that please!

Its one of the first things I install too! A really efficient piece of software!

Yes, I should really switch to Aegis. andOTP has been working well for me though.

Bitwarden, Signal, Firefox, Sumatra PDF, Standard Notes, andOTP, and VLC Media Player
