not the worst summary

just fyi - this is an extremely popular take among the young and non-rich

exactly what the parent comment said - an incentive to not take steps to reduce your risk, leading to more situations like this

yupppp

at least they have to pay lipservice now and not just printing billions and handing them straight to the rich

Completely agreed - setting up Sandstorm itself is a bit of a hassle. Once it's installed, additional apps on the platform are extremely easy though.

Thanks for pointing out nextcloud! Hadn't seen that one before.

What's your project btw?

Thank you so much for sandstorm btw! It's a really incredible piece of software

It's also partly the site's culture. Not saying it's wrong, because it adds some noise and not much new info, but I've been downvoted before for posting comments like "Thanks for saying this!"

imo that's the problem - everything gets corporate poseurs so quickly now could just be i'm out of touch and the countercultures have successfully hidden from me tho

perfect comment <3

arguably, we're facing overpopulation right now

Maybe we just have a very different threat model?

Snapchat style messages completely solves:

- someone you trust now later becomes untrustworthy and would use old messages against you

- messages are stored on your phone and can be found by someone else later

neither of these can happen if deleting messages is not an expected and normal part of the protocol

it does not solve the problem of sending messages to someone who already wants to hurt you (ie. the public internet)

In snapchat, you're sending messages to friends, or at the very least individuals, who you trust have not rooted their phone to log messages.

Anything put to the public internet is there forever because antisocial corporations and the few individuals who do not respect privacy can operate at scale.

Asking a normal person nicely to delete something almost always works though, especially if not deleting it is a hassle

idk why you're being downvoted, it did read like an insidious content marketing piece. At least there was a disclosure.

With that said, I've been trying to lock down my smartphone to offline-only apps + text + calls, totally agree with the mission, I've felt so much more distractable of late
