They do so through a variety of fora, including anonymous chat forums, in-person meetings, social media, and even educational institutions.

feds “investigating” lemmygrad

just ignore that cloudflare was founded to collect data for the department of homeland security

tbf i don’t think the us is trying to kill miguel diaz-canel either. probably has to do with the fact that assassination isn’t generally super useful, at least not against established, stable nations

EDITOR=/bin/rm sudo visudo

i can’t believe “maga dot place” is one of the only liberal instances that hasn’t defederated us

this happens unsurprisingly often. the NSA calls it LOVEINT

imo if you’re putting sh.itjust.works in the list of instances you ought to mention they have a lot of chuds there. huge chud problem. also they’ve defederated hexbear and lemmygrad so

i don’t agree with everything in that essay but the OTF-CIA connection gives me good reason not to read anything they say. not that everything they fund is bad but everything they say is untrustworthy.

maybe more importantly though, is briar android-only? no desktop app?

i don’t want to make you do my googling for me but if you have anything else just on-hand i’d love to read it. i can’t trust the open tech fund because of its ties to the cia (see this paragraph by dessalines) but i’ll definitely look into briar

do you know of any good in-depth analyses of its security? every time i decide on a new chat app someone has to point out something that totally ruins it lol

unfortunately not. matrix is probably a no because of this thread. i hear a lot of people saying briar is good but idk anything about it

crazy that no one’s posted the dessalines article yet https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/why_not_signal.md

well there’s about a thousand reasons not to use synapse anyway

do you have anything against systemd in particular?

what’s wrong with matrix

i can’t believe i found a linux user these days who doesn’t use systemd. if it’s not weird to ask, when did you switch to devuan and why do you prefer its init? why not go with bsd?

good luck comrade

it’s also relevant that the prominent marxist-leninist tiktok user madeline pendleton came out last year about being approached by the dnc over this. naturally, she was harassed, slandered, and suffered financial consequences from some of these same people. that’s all well and good but it’s really surprising to me that so many of the people who did it were not involved in the dark money thing. i guess because liberals are more interested in harassing communists than they are in their own material interests

my fault. i forgot it wasn’t big news for people who aren’t deep into politics tiktok drama. i meant this one

i gotta get a job man
