@omarsbigsister Best stick to the privacy-first corner of the internet

When a hacker finds your real name...

@OliLondonTV Bro chill it's just clothes it's not that deep.

Discord locked down its ecosystem. Fluxer is going the opposite way. • Fully open-source (AGPLv3) • Self-host your own server • No vendor lock-in • No forced subscriptions or paywalls What you get: • Chats, threads, reactions • Voice & video calls • Communities and channels • Emojis, media, everything you expect But here’s the difference: • Your data isn’t owned by a company • No sudden bans or feature removals • No forced rules you didn’t agree to You decide: • How it runs • Who joins • What rules exist Most platforms give you access. Fluxer gives you control.

@aguscruiz I'm clearly on the wrong side of the internet if this is poping up on my feed.

We all agree these two are fucking right?

Privacy matters to me in the tech I use—but it’s not the only factor. Total privacy isn’t realistic, so I focus on what I can control and avoid handing over my data to advertisers for free as much as I can.

I use browsers other than @brave—@zen_browser included—because I like its UI and some of its backend features. Is Zen as privacy-focused as Brave? No. Do I still like it? Yes. It really comes down to use case: if a tool has practical value, it’s worth using. More below ⬇️

Most people use Proton Mail for encryption. But they ignore its most powerful features. Here are 10 you should be using already (with quick steps) 🧵

The biggest threat to Google's ad business isn't Meta or Apple. It's a man with a text editor who doesn't even accept donations 🤯 Meet Raymond Hill. > Nobody knows his real face. > Nobody knows his background. > Goes by "gorhill" online. That's it. > In 2014 quietly built an ad blocker. Alone. > No team. No funding. No company. Just code. > Called it uBlock Origin. > Free. Open source. No strings attached. > Every other ad blocker was taking money from advertisers. > Letting "acceptable ads" through for a fee. > He refused. Completely. 💀 > People tried to donate. He said no. > Companies tried to buy him out. He said no. > Brave offered to bring him on. He said no. > Said accepting money in any form could compromise him. > So he just... kept building. For free. For years. > Grew to 40 million users across Chrome and Firefox. > Became the most popular Firefox extension in history. 🚀 > Then Google came for him. > Manifest V3 — a Chrome update that quietly gutted ad blockers. > Every major ad blocker bent the knee and adapted. > He refused. Said the new system was fundamentally inferior. > Google removed uBlock Origin from Chrome. Entirely. > He didn't beg. Didn't negotiate. Didn't compromise. > Just told everyone switch to Firefox. > Mozilla then made a mistake reviewing his extension. > Disabled it over false claims. > He publicly proved every claim wrong. Line by line. > Then pulled the extension himself. On his own terms. > Fought Google. Fought Mozilla. Both times alone. > Still maintains the project today. Still unpaid. > Still refuses every dollar sent his way. > Said "It stopped being a hobby when it felt like a tedious job. So I made it mine again." > No money. No team. No name. Just took on trillion-dollar Google and made them blink The trillion-dollar ad empire is genuinely scared of one developer with a text editor Absolute Legend 🗿 🔥

@TechByTaraa Oh no they have haters but those haters don't understand how good Brave actually is

"Tell me an app with 0 haters" i'll go first:

The future looked much cooler in the past

Brave just added a feature people have wanted for YEARS. Containers. And most users don’t realize how powerful this is. Here’s why it changes how you browse 👇

@XAlone29043 Nothing lol, it takes money to have improvements or comfort.

I mean he's not wrong.

@Techjunkie_Aman Isn't session shutting down at the end of the month? I'd tell more people about @ThreemaApp or @SimpleXChat before Session at this point.

WhatsApp asks for your number. Telegram stores your metadata. Session asks for… nothing. No phone number. No email. No identity. What it is: A fully private messenger built for anonymity. What makes it different: • no personal data required • onion routing hides your IP • decentralized network (no central server) • messages stored across nodes, not companies Features: • end-to-end encryption • disappearing messages • voice + video calls • cross-platform support No SIM. No tracking. No link to you. This isn’t just another chat app. It’s what messaging looks like when privacy actually comes first. Would you switch to something like this?

Smash into a walland then eat 2

@Ipshitapan99294 Walk them into telling me thier real intentions.

Ouch first of all! 🤣
