Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?
  • Even though this news hasn't been proven, a small fee still means we'll have to pay him. I do believe it might help eliminate bots or spam, but from the moment he starts charging, it will no longer be a social media platform for everyone. It's pretty hilarious that freedom of speech now comes at a price.

    I'm already on WireMin. Twitter is no longer my only choice when it comes to freedom of speech, especially since it's linked to my personal information, and Elon can monitor all of my social activities there. Decentralized social media platforms seem like the right way to go, like WireMin and Damus.

  • X will charge users ‘a small monthly payment’ to use its service
  • Glad to see someone is on WireMin, I do wish more people knew about WireMin. Mastodon just wasn't enough for me; it lacked a community vibe. It felt like I was sending out posts that no one noticed.

    WireMin gives me a sense of belonging, catering to geeks, privacy enthusiasts, and those seeking censorship resistance. Especially in the discovery section, it's much easier for people to connect and have meaningful conversations, whether one-on-one or in groups. I created a feed space for myself to share hilarious programming pics. It's rewarding to see strangers like and comment on my posts.

    Overall, I'm quite satisfied with WireMin for now. At least, I don't have to worry about fees, censorship, or privacy issues. They claim they're free and will remain so.

  • Why are some people still staying at Twitter?

    Content is title.

    Are you still on Twitter? If so, why? If not, where have you migrated to?

    Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)
  • No E2EE is a dealbreaker for messaging apps these days because of the rampant data leaks on social media and messenger platforms. And, I don't believe E2EE is effective on centralized apps since they still store our chat histories on their cloud servers. Digital issues have become more frequent and severe in the Web 2.0 era, primarily due to the actions of major tech companies and other powerful entities and their monopolistic behaviors. I hope more people realize that Web 3.0 is on the horizon. It's not just about crypto; it represents decentralization and digital democracy. No more concerns about privacy breaches, identity exposures, or data leaks.

  • UK's "Online Safety Bill" should be renamed the "Online Exposure Bill
  • Try this: https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/wiremin

    It allows users to remain anonymous by only asking me to create a username and set a password. And all of the messesages or feed are E2EE.

    This network can't be stop by anyone, as it operates on a P2P decentralized network. As long as there are active users, it can continue to function and is self-sustaining.

  • It's real. Twitter Shadowbanning is back.
  • 1 month WireMin user. To be honest I don't really care about privacy issue, if they want to use my data for maybe selling them to 3rd-party companies or train their AI whatever. But limiting me to say whatever I want? Nah-ah For now, no one ever remove my content in any chat room on WireMin so far. And I run a NSFW chat room, it did not get banned so far, so I do believe they are decentralized, no one is able to ban my space or my account on there, even the creator or dev team. (Feel free to join, if you want to: https://i.wiremin.com/invite/?g=k48849439784) And all users remain anonymous, so that somehow helps a lot with Freedom of Expression? Cuz we know No Privacy = No Freedom. I am pretty satisfied with WireMin for now, compares to Reddit, Twitter, etc.

  • Users report being banned on Telegram despite never using it
  • True, registering with just a username and password was much more privacy-focused, cuz at least we don't need to hand out our personal info.

    While tech companies claim they use phone number/email verification for enhanced security, the reality is that they often expose our personal information to advertisers and provide hackers with more valuable data. This is especially concerning when everything is stored on a central cloud server.

    Thank got, we have decentralized IMs available rn. While using the old way to register and having top-tier security because of the decentralized nature, messages are sent peer-to-peer n end-to-end, ensuring that data like chat histories and passwords are stored only on our devices.
