Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the #BlackLivesMatter channel! Another initiative by the wonderful @maskedwitch

You can join without a client or an account! Just visit - https://chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=blm@conference.queer-spark.org

But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv, if you don’t mind using your phone number. Alternatively, install one or more of the following, and use them to register an account on conversations.im (see https://providers.xmpp.net or https://compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -

…when you’re set up, open this link to join the channel! https://invite.joinjabber.org/#blm@conference.queer-spark.org?join

If you’re new to XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), this guide has everything you need to get started - https://contrapunctus.codeberg.page/the-quick-and-easy-guide-to-xmpp.html

Finally migrated the last remaining #Telegram group chat I cared about and said good riddance to Telegram. The group was a vestige from yesteryear when this group was split between iOS and Android (we're all blue bubbles now).

All the group chats I'm responsible for are now either on #iMessage or #Signal. 💬

My final battle ground is the a handful of #WhatsApp group chats that I care about but don't have enough influence over. Yet.

A 26-year-old IT graduate from West Sumatra ended up in a #scam compound in March 2024 after a string of bad luck. He once worked as a freelance front-end developer but found opportunities drying up in IT. Frustrated, he tried his hand at a fruit distribution business, which failed.

One day, while browsing #acebook, he saw an opening for a search engine optimization specialist at a Singapore-based stock trading company. Following a job interview with a recruiter on #Telegram, he was placed at the company’s satellite office in Cambodia and promised a salary of $800 a month.

He did not realize he was trafficked until his #passport was confiscated in Phnom Penh, #Cambodia, and he was driven to a remote compound protected by armed guards. He worked 15-hour shifts in a #CallCenter and had to defraud victims of $40,000 every month, he told @restofworld@restof.social. He was paid less than half his promised salary.

#SocialMedia in Form der ganzen #asozialenMedien wie #TikTok, Twitter aka #X, #Instagram, #Facebook sowie #Messenger wie #Telegram - so wichtig, v.a. für #Minderjährige.

These: Diese Systeme zerstören immer stärker, immer schneller und immer schwerwiegender soziales, liberales, weltoffenes Verhalten, Empathie und damit am Ende gesellschaftliches, menschliches Miteinander und letztlich die gesamte(n) Gesellschaft(en).

@signalapp bekanntlich soll der neue Microsoft-Dienst „Recall“ Screenshots von allem machen, was auf dem Bildschirm geschieht - also auch von Desktops von Messengern wie #WhatsApp, #Telegram und Co.
#Signal hat darauf reagiert und will jetzt eine neue Funktion „Bildschirmsicherheit“ in sein System einfügen, die Screenshots der Signal-Chats blockiert und damit die Kommunikation nicht in die USA nach Redmond schickt.
Für mich zwei Erkenntnisse:
- Microsoft soll so bald wie möglich endgültig vom Rechner verschwinden; leider nutze ich aber noch ein paar wenige proprietäre Programme, die zwingend MS Windows zur Funktion benötigen, so dass ich noch nicht ganz „clean“ sein kann
- WhatsApp, Telegram und Co. werde ich für die wenigen Fälle, in denen ich sie heute noch nutze, aufgeben; hauptsächlich gibts nur noch Signal und innerhalb der Nextcloud-Benutzergruppe Talk. Matrix wäre zwar auch schön, erfüllt aber mein Anforderungsprofil (noch) nicht umfänglich.

OMG 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 :linux:

@kuketzblog
So sehr ich EEE auch favorisiere, ein unreguliertes Unternehmen in Dubai ist keine Plattform, die man unterstützen sollte.

Auch vor dem Hinblick schnüffelnder Vorratsdatentäter und Palantir-Fans, muss bei ernsthaften Verbrechen ein Staat eingreifen können. Und wenn es nur die Zustellung einer Vorladung ist.

es tut sich was. Merkt ihr es auch? In Ost-Deutschland wird eine Gruppe rechtsextremer Terroristen festgenommen. Darunter viele Jugendliche, denn die sucht man sich vermehrt in rechtsextremen Kreisen. Sie organisieren sich in social media Chatgruppen, die eben nicht nur für Jux und Dollerei da sind, wie Radiomoderatoren verdutzt feststellen müssen. Nun, wie gefährlich #telegram ist, wird ja vielleicht auch noch einmal verstanden. (2/5)
