    Damn are you me? I recently did a whole presentation on digital security for some of my comrades! I try to be patient when slowly having people realize the importance of security online. I’ll just paste a toot from 2 months ago as I think I summed it up pretty well.

    Getting people to take online privacy and security more seriously is an accomplishment.

    Just because someone’s a communist and already distrustful of for-profit and big tech companies doesn’t mean they’ll know anything else. As much as FOSS and privacy against the bourgeois state jives with communism, the culture is permeated with an anti-user outlook and techbro-ness. It’s difficult for non-tech savvy comrades to get or understand immediately thanks to the societal push for commodified tech.

    I also included an easy example of asymmetric encryption featuring some of our fav revolutionaries, because for me at least it was difficult to grasp public/private key stuff when I first learned about it. It was very well recieved!
