I am excited about the potential of non capitalist media platforms. Of people being free from the constraints of capital trying to sell ads against every message. There is an incredible potential in networked culture that has been swindled away by greed and selfish. We are taking that back. What we are doing is powerful and I dont want that to be forgotten.

@dreadpirateyarr its almist like being a bigot is a choice 🤔
basically, don't use the fediverse for anything you wouldn't want coming up in a court of law, because it's not secure for that. It's just not a tool that's built for secure political organizing. There's ongoing discussion about potentially making it secure, but that doesn't have an easy solution for a bunch of technical reasons, so for now it's just not. Use Signal or another encrypted, secure chat app. Don't harbor any illusions that you can discuss anything seditious on here safely.
but at the same time, fuck cops, we should 100% be banning them from being on the fediverse, not because it will make our information more secure, but because fuck them, we don't want them around here. It's not a matter of infosec, but a matter of not wanting to associate with the bastards. Come back with a warrant or not at all, asshole.
Ask yourself: Will the people who need this cw really change because I threw this thing on their timeline? Does this person really deserve to be triggered?
