See the fucking problem using corporate social networks yet?
People should use briar or signal groups for this stuff. Or host something outside of the US.
- Neither of those are safe. Needs to be self hosted outside the country, as you said. Roll your own or don’t do it at all.
  
  Just don't.... roll your own encryption. Use a trusted standard and roll out your own self-hosted encrypted comms service.
  
  Why do you not consider Signal safe?
  
  How is Briar not safe? Its self hosted and peer to peer. There is probably nothing safer and more censorship resistant that Briar.
Corporate social media is just a mouthpiece of the far-right now.
