Twitter as a venue to allow the people being directly impacted by oppressive regimes

Twitter has played a large role in supporting said regimes.

This is a good time to make aware about an amazing privacy-centric & user-friendly alternative - Peertube. It is not a big network as of now but the benefits it provides over YouTube are large - it is a part of the fediverse. Of course, only through increasing participation will the network become bigger.

If you still wish to use YouTube, you can try third party front ends like Invidious or Piped on the browser; NewPipe(Also is a front end for Soundcloud, media.ccc.de, Peertube & Bandcamp) or LibreTube on Android.

If you only browse YT Music, you can try HyperPipe in the browser. There are many apps for it available on F-Droid, an alternative app store for Android. My personal pick is ViMusic.

This is a good time to make aware that an alternative exists - UnifiedPush.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium The Americans have one less «i», not the other way around.

Wow! This is just what I often joke about to my friends. I write in such heavy cursives that when I write words like Minimum or Aluminium, they become hard to read for anyone else.

According to data dating June de 2022. Matrix had at least 64 Millon users.

That is not a small number. So yeah, people do use it. While it is significantly low compared to Discord. Keep in mind that Discord has had much more advertisement done for it than Matrix did.

So are the others I mentioned.

Discord should be avoided as a communications platform. I don't see a single point that makes me want to use it.

It has no customization or designing flexibility, you are forced to stick to one design unless you pay for a stupeid & an expensive subscription. Otherwise you need to use potentially unsafe third party tools for it and even those go against Discord's ToS.

It is a non-private, non-secure and overtly commercialized product that should be put in the bin. But thanks to the virtual monopoly in creating a social platform (also thanks to the tech-illiterate influencers for promoting it) for more than just "Chatting for gamers", as it was originally intended for. Discord in its current state is nothing more than just a commercial market where you are the commodity. Its not a social platform.

I don't want to give out my data and message history for some company to sell to be able to discuss about your project on GitHub, or even be able to communicate with you.

The client is garbage as well unless you own a super expensive rig.

I abandoned Discord completely more than half an year ago with the vow of never registering again. I completely shifted my comms to Matrix & Signal. I have not been more at peace since.

If you manage a public project you wish for people to interact with. I request you to at least keep a mirror/bridge on XMPP, Matrix or even Revolt. Please choose something open source, private and secure for the sake of other people.

Taxxing won't do anything because structurally the Rich have the most power in the system. The only way to fix this is to systematically remove the Rich through whatever means and remove the means which enables them to exist.

Judging by post & history. They are just a troll. As for this article. I don't understand why anyone bothers sharing it. It is one of the most hot garbage ones I have seen. Most of this article gives arguments that are either old, have no relevance here or are just plainly cherrypicked (the jitsi one for example, open the link and see the last comment, that they quoted). Most things are also application side issue with no relevance for wayland devs. "Oh my app does not work in wayland? Must be wayland's fault!" This is a rubbish logicless argument. If one wants to not use Wayland, they are welcome. But things like "Boycott Wayland" are irritating to those who do want to use Wayland because they know how Xorg is.

For most Crackers who haven't seen life outside their small circles of privilege. They think that they are working against "incitement of violence" by censoring protesters because they happened to irritate their blissful liberal circle jerk of a life which is far from acknowledging the distress of the downtrodden Third World.

One must imagine the ignorance deeply imbued with such people who think that succumbing to the Bourgeois Humanist Fetishes is what Peace is. What they do in reality is just the opposite. By promoting the obstruction of justice, by standing right on the path of the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressors in the name of peace. They rightfully collaborate with the oppressors. Justifying the cause of the oppressor.

Where was the peace when Israeli settlers were conducting ethnic cleansing just a few days before the Al-Aqsa Flood? Where was the peace when the Israeli Occupation Force was shooting Palestinian children everyday? Where was the peace when Palestinians were being forced out of their homes, their homes burnt and them locked in cages? Why is it that the day the collective rage of the Palestinians boiled over do the Settlers wake up, open their Instagram accounts and sloganize against Terrorism. Where were they to sloganize against Terrorism when Terrorism was being conducted by the Zionists against a native people?

The Hamas may have committed a few excesses. But they have 0 blame for punishing the settlers, for who are we to blame them for struggling against such severe Occupation?

Yeah until you find a game which doesn't run only because of its dogshit Anti Cheat System Service.
