Well, if you didn't take all the precautions you took, over a 1000 data brokers could've had access to your address, and so much more about you.

And while I most certainly don't like it, I know that I'm still stopping them from learning even more about me, and my search results are still secure.

Everyone I get to talk to me on Signal is having a secure conversation with me.

Everything to an extent is a win, so don't give up king.

What communities are there on Revolt? Anything big? Like GrapheneOS, Linux Mint, Signal, Monero?

I know that Matrix has their communities.

I'm interested in the day it hits the Linux Desktop, but being even on iOS is crazy imo.

It's decentralized, which therefore makes it harder than even Session.

I find that interesting, as there should be ways to only use email.

I'd say your IP or DNS is freaking them out. Sometimes when you have really good opsec on a browser, they can tell and will ask for weird shit like that.

I'd use a different browser, like maybe download Brave or Chromium or Librewolf (leave it out of the box) specifically for this stuff, assuming you use FireFox.

You can also download 3rd party clients for Facebook on Android, Insta is kinda a lost cause tho.

Edit: It's not on F-Droid, you gotta hop on Github, but there is a client for Discord known as Aliucord on Android.

Wait what, weren't the thinkpads supposed to go hand and hand with Linux, what do you mean?

Outlaw and hated one, sometimes rossman.

I like Luke, but watched for his opinions in things honestly.

It's a good thing I don't have any socials for them to trace me back to. And since I work there, I'm always looking at shit that will prolly throw them off.

I've never had this happen before so I didn't know. I just thought it was interesting how they're requiring this now though.

More of shock value of them announcing it and requiring an email now.

So more for privacy than security, so it would make sense to use a VPN depending on your threat model I suppose, or how much you care.
