Yeah, well, they’ve done it, 95 million Americans didn’t vote. Now what?

Y’all really are unble to take any kind of accountability whatsoever. “It’s done so it’s not relevant anymore” is a textbook example of what abusers say.

Are we gonna point the finger at them, lay the blame at their feet

Yes, absolutely. Non-voters are neglectful assholes whose inaction has had devastating impacts for multiple different countries. You are all just typical abusers trying to escape accountability.

you can’t join Signal there. I don’t know whether it’s due to sanctions or if the government is blocking 2FA SMS messages. In either case, it is impossible to join without a phone number confirmation.

What do you mean? You need a phone number to join Signal in any country.

It’s odd to describe people with nothing left to lose as being “privileged”. You literally don’t know the OP, or their reasons for feeling this way, but here you are judging them. No wonder you say that you running your mouth has caused problems in your life.

Lots of people are socially isolated nowadays, with few if any friends. Lots of people are estranged from family. Lots of people deal with chronic health problems that ruin their quality of life. And so on. Many of these people feel like they have nothing left to lose, and that feeling is raw and real and coming from a place of pain and marginalization, not of privilege.

It’s especially ironic that you’re saying this while talking about how you’re making an “exit plan”, which lots of people lack the resources to do.

You are so out of touch it’s not even funny. The reason you don’t relate to this post isn’t because the OP’s stance is “privileged”, it’s because you have different conditions, beliefs, values, and priorities than they do. Get a grip.

I doubt I can successfully persuade 100+ people to migrate to signal just because of my political crusade.

Don’t know till you try! And if you’re playing the long game, you don’t need to convince 100+ people – the more individuals that join, the easier it will become to convince everyone else to make the switch too.

(oh btw “We are in X country which is not in N eyes” is just marketing)

Why do you say this? There are real data-sharing agreements between the Eyes.

Doesn’t even need some complicated backdoors or anything it just needs to find an OPSEC slip-up

This already happened with kolektiva, unfortunately, but from what I hear they’ve since strengthened their security.

The UI is fucking awful and way too complex, so it’s difficult to get anything done. I’ve tried two different instances and found them both to be unusable.

It’s a shame because Friendica is way more powerful than most Fediverse platforms – they leverage way more of ActivityHub’s potential, such as a system for calendars + events. But the UI needs to get sorted out before it’s ready for mass adoption.

I don’t agree? Even in big cities, I’ve often seen marketplace posts from people with mutual friends, so I could easily verify their trustworthiness. In other scenarios I can at least check to see if their posting history and/or profile seems legit or if there are any red flags. Having more data helps people decide whether to trust someone, but Craigslist doesn’t allow for that.
