I doubt it can be both private and secure. And don’t even get me started on workarounds. What if I verify more phones with my id? And sell them to minors, or example. It can get dark pretty quick.

I think that would be even harder to track. And I fear this will include those use cases as well. It can go downhill very easy from here

I would hope this goes the chat control route, but I don’t think it will be the case

Should be working now. Sorry!

Technology beat me. Fixed it now. Sorry

I fixed it, sorry

I wish more people would see things like this

It used to be easier to spread the word when there weren’t so many alternatives, to be honest. Right now, I’m not sure how to convince people.

I’m guilty a bit of this myself. For a long time I’ve been down the rabbit hole with iOS vs Android, especially since Google is adamant on closing it more and more making it harder for custom ROMs to be developed. Basically if you want the current patches and have everything working (payment, camera, banking apps) you have to use one of them.

For apps is also a cultural thing. If you want to stay up to date with Japanese news, X is the most used platform there, for better or worse. There are no other corespondent accounts on other platforms. Recently they started to discover Instagram…I sincerely doubt they’ll join these kind of decentralized passwords.

Most of the people don’t want to be convinced. They come adamant that they won’t change their opinion. And no matter what we do, it won’t be changed. I’m surprised that with the whole US-Wordlwide tensions, people would prefer non-US alternatives. Seems I was wrong
