What kind of solutions are decentralized and encrypted for using email, chat, hiding your ip, browsing the internet? What kind of solutions do you use?

Here's my solutions:

🔹Forget about email, it's a garbage outdated centralized protocol with zero privacy.

🔹Forget about chat apps, they are all centralized and compromised, use Nostr DMs with burner npubs.

🔹Use a VPN for normie stuff while you still can, and TOR for everything else.

🔹Forget about browsers, including the Tor Browser. You can't win that battle. Even if you hide your IP and disable Javascript, you will get fingerprinted. The web is dead anyways—full of bots, ai generated slop, ads and trackers... you won't miss anything trust me. Use foss apps and RSS feeds instead.

🔹Ignore all privacy services from companies, specially the ones that have Terms of Service's and Privacy Policy's. They are all centralized and easy targets for govs, future honeypots.

🔹Ignore all 'decentralized' alternatives that have a shitcoin attached. THEY WON'T SURVIVE LONG TERM.

Use a RSS reader like this: https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder

and add your blogs/articles/news/whatever sources, your life will never be the same.

Do you have a opinion on Lokinet? They use the OXEN framework, which the Session App uses.

Ignore everything that has a shitcoin/token/blockchain attached.

Acknowledged, but you seem to have an expectation that new tech should come for free. There is always a cost, the expertise is not built on the backs on peasants.

Id rather donate to devs, then have a protocol dependent on some shitcoin that 100% sure will die after a year or two.

Sounds like a fearful way to live in a world that’s already filled with Maya

So basically get off the internet?

It seems pretty simple on the surface to me, just switch to technology that will use BECH32 addresses. The key pair model usually entails a functionally reasonable underpinning.

FOSS = Free OpenSource Software

The Free stands for Freedom. Opensource means the code is public for everyone to see, use and change.

The F stands for Free, not Freedom

Don't write RMS out of history, and I hope yr error was only ignorance and not something more sinister
