Please dont post pictures of text without linking to the source or transcribing it. Blind folks can't read it.

Use Tor.

Also the data is anonymized.

Data researchers have shown that the data can be de-anonymized, but it won't be trivial for OP to do

All of them allow messages that are not end-to-end encrypted, so the answer is none.

If I'm wrong, please pount me to an instance that blocks messages that are not end-to-end encrypted. Please.

Don't apologize for cross-posting. Thank you for cross-posting.

Matrix does not enforce end-to-end encryption.

clever_banana , 4 months ago

That is misleading. It depends on the client, and its super easy to accidentally create one thats not e2ee

clever_banana , 4 months ago

Because human error is a risk. Most orgs that hsvr these requirements won't adopt software that allows messages to be sent without e2ee because its a risk

I'd like to find a way to adopt Matrix such that its not possible for users to send or receive unencrypted messages.

why not put this on Wikipedia? Theres already a great article there that would benefit from this additional data

Don't do this with JavaScript ffs

Maybe Undemocratic ia better?

Very few dont require a phone numbers, so Wire is def in the top 10

clever_banana , 4 months ago

Oh boy you're in for a surprise

clever_banana , 4 months ago

WhatsApp, Telegram too.

Oh, and Discord and a bunch of others dont tell you they require phones. Until their ML system false-positives and locks you out of your account until you auth with a phone number.

Fuck this. I get fulfillment through work.

What I want is for my labor to be helpful to humanity, not some corporation.

What you call a "job", I call slavery.

If I'm painting a mural for fun, its still a job.

But if you " have" to do a job that you dont want to do, you're a slave.

clever_banana , 4 months ago

I love gardening and doing home improvement work. I love contributing software to open source projects. All of this is work.

Graber called it Bullshit Jobs

Name & shame

It's also gobs of telemtey and AB testing constantly watching how you're interacting with what's on the page and changing what you see to figure out what makes you engage more & longer. All that processing requires a lot of resources compared to sites that respect your privacy.

clever_banana , 5 months ago

100% if you block all JavaScript. But then those worst-of-the-worst sites dont load at all

clever_banana , 4 months ago

Agreed. I block all JavaScript. Unfortunately it means I can't read some links that people post to Lemmy >:O

Downvoted for picture of text. Please link to the page and transcribe it if you want to post a picture too. Blind people can't read images of text.

clever_banana , 5 months ago

Link is broken. Please add transcription to the body of the post

clever_banana , 5 months ago

Not sure what you mean. Just type the alt in markdown

Sent me a laptop that died within a month of its arrival. Asked for a refund, and it took them almost a year to finally give me my money back (minus some large amount).

If they're this profitable, theres no justification to treat your customers like this

Tails is pretty cool and literal life saver for some peoples

I wish more admins would make votes public on their instances, so the whole community could work together to identity bad actors

clever_banana , 5 months ago

Please do this. Its really not an issue.

The solution is simply to use anonymous accounts and change them frequently. This should be more publicized as normal lemmmy data hygene

clever_banana , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Wut? The data is already public. Why only allow the bad guys to access it and not everyone?

Everything you do online will be used against you unless you do so anonymously. This isn't a Lemmy problem. Its only specific to Lemmy if we as a community dont inform each other of the risks and encourage safe data hygienic practices

Do you understand how federation works?
