Trop de gens de gauche sur cette instance, mais bon, on fait avec… (c’est un test pour voir si on se fait censurer aussi facilement que sur mastodon !)

    I’ve tried Signal, Session, Matrix and SimpleX and the most convenient one is Signal. Some will refuse to switch, some, the closest people to you, will agree but probably just for you, unless they see an interest in signal themselves

    For WhatsApp users: I’m saying that they leak all the contacts to Meta/Facebook and use it for advertising and tracking, + sending to the US gov because we all know they share data

    For discord users: they’re a bit known for not deleting things, and backed by Tencent (if I recall correctly) they could have a reason to start using messages for advertising or similar. They’re already using game activity data to push ads (or quests as they’re called). Based in the US so also probably leaks to the gov.

    But most importantantly: I just ask if they’re really to have all their messages, and especially their private messages leaked to the public in case they get hacked. Including all images sent in PMs, and having those analyzed by some other companies as well (often for CP, but still, I’m not really ok with that). Some will say that they’re not, in this case alright, go switch to Signal! Some will say they are okay with it, and tbh they’re probably lying or underestimating the risks and the impact.

    Discord is alright, but please, or all sensitive messages, please switch to an encrypted messenger.

    I would not call an OS where you can’t really start any “big” app a success. If you can’t do anything with it, what’s the point?

    You can’t really degoogle a phone without sacrificing a lot of things. Most “degoogled” phones just use a compatibility layer that still gives google loads of infos

    I would much rather have neither of Apple or google, but having to chose, I prefer Apple, at least they’re not on every website I visit

    Btw you can “deapple” by jailbreaking but it becomes a huge pain, as degoogling is

    Finding a good phone with good specs, a good OS that is elegant and doesn’t track you at an acceptable price with all the features just isn’t possible

    TheAnonymouseJoker is a clown (imo, no harassment or anything)

    Talked with them on the subject of privacy emails and they recommended services that store mail unencrypted and logs your ip address and stuff

    Their sources are « activists » that they like, rather than facts. I suspect their don’t like bigger companies and famous things even if they’re better

    I use grapheneos and it’s pretty good. Yes the main dev can be a bit of an asshole, but for what it claims to do, grapheneos is pretty good

    Sadly anything with google services, even sandboxed, is going to track you, and I believe grapheneos is pretty good at what you can do without sacrificing too much
