social media, situation

Please get me on Signal. It is WhatsApp but lighter and not Meta.

Let us use this US situation. I'm keen on self-hosting alternatives. And generally lets siphon some talent! Unfortunate timing with the right wing here too - but it could end sooner. It might end later! Hah. We should affirm various good beliefs, like trans people, who tend to be STEM as. The HEAL people seem to like the environs or something, but we let them down with pay and access to those environs. See NZ working longer for less than most countries.

My (some techie rando's) Fediverse instance is in AU. It's good for blog spam and nerd sniping. It does what you tell it to do. It's a very global network if you Follow your way out there, but instances can be "about" a locality and mostly contain stuff from approximately there... It could work as the very-open layer of social networking, for promo etc. It's early days.

Any enthusiasm for Session or Matrix about? A distributed model where one client has a lot of ways to get connected is ideal. It also needs to replace calling and texting.

What are your thoughts?

What about all the gay bashing?

Well I haven't seen any but I get that people are able to be confronted badly about it.
Republicans do it...

Generally, cos they super gay. Super as in superficial, and maladjusted. Want it more taboo than it is, to be more edgy or diminish the need for quality.

Could, also, be this modern Russian-business-network paradigm of espionage by mediating reality for self-saboteurs. Very real.
