    I just can’t understand how they can claim misinformation, while blatantly lying about almost everything in favor of Ukraine

      Even if the whole thing is a conspiracy theory, after all the anti-science/anti-Semitic types of shit that have much bigger followings and IRL organizations and real death counts under their belt, this is the thing they draw the line and censor? Tells you what libs really care about.

    Unsurprising. Isn’t Discord owned at the top by Condé Nast, which also hosts that bilge rag HuffPost?

    As wide spread use as Discord gets, leftists should begin to seek out better platforms to associate on. For awhile me and my gf used what I felt was a superior platform called “Signal”.

        My 6th sense was telling me someone would hit me with something like this. Thank you for making me aware, I see this has a section for better alternatives.

          It is a fact that Signal got its main initial funding from radio free asia, and that RFA even a few years ago was doing damage control on behalf of signal. How is that not evidence of US involvement?

          Also, as that article states, the issue is that even if the message content is secure, the metadata isn’t: signal can provide social graphs of actual people, dates, and times to the US.

            Saying that Signal is some sort of CIA tool is fearmongering. It isn’t perfect but it is a good replacement for apps like Whatsapp and iMessage. Of course decentralized services like Matrix are superior, but it is much easier to get your friends and family to use Signal than something like Element. Both services have their use cases, and just dismissing Signal as a CIA tool wont get us anywhere.

              You just keep repeating “trust signal”, with absolutely nothing to support that. Completely ignoring its direct links both to US regime-change orgs, and its inherently insecure US domiciled setup.

              The article I gave provides tons of reasons signal isn’t trustworthy, and why no one should use it. You seem to be doing the standard thing of “its easy to use and has a nice UI, so that means it can be trusted!”. Do you have any reasons why I should trust signal, and any proof that it hasn’t received a NSL letter, meaning everyone who uses it is being spied on?

                I do agree with the metadata problem, but what is the problem with someone in the US using Signal to chat with friends? My main point here is to not just dismiss Signal entirely, but instead understand the problems with it, and in what situations you should be using it.

                  The people most at risk for using signal, are US citizens. There’s a very high chance that Signal, being a US domiciled company, means its database is compromised. That gives the US gov / NSA / police social graphs, who is using signal, who is talking to who, and when. If you’re in an activist group, an anti-capitalist party, an anti-landlord group, the US government knows who you are talking with, when, and all of your names and addresses.

              One of the main issues with Signal is that it’s a central server based on US. So, ultimately even if Signal isn’t doing anything nefarious themselves it’s still subject to US laws. So, if nothing else US can just order them to shut down the server.

    This is insane. The lamestream thought cloud is intent on making us into drooling drones.

    There is one option at revolt.chat or I am sure many self hosted options.

    Discord and reddit are total garbage anyways.

    We gotta get on the fediverse and I hope we continue to develop much better options to the liberal copium infested traps.

          That person is already unbanned, we had a discussion about it and all agreed that we should maintain the criticality in our critical support of russian actions and sources. That mod is a mod on the discord server as well and has been for a while

      What’s revolt? I know Matrix isn’t a drop-in matrix replacement, but it’s excellent if you want to self-host and be able to federate without violating privacy and being responsible for the contents of encrypted chats

        It’s pretty similar to Discord. I haven’t used it much but the functionality looks the same and the interface is similar.
