I agree with your concerns on Signal. However, the difference between Lemmy and RebelNet is the difference between Nostr and Mastodon. You’re giving the admin of the server complete control.
I actually have more experience with Hugo, but my co-worker swears by Ghost. So it’s just a matter of preference and the templates.
Regarding LibreOffice, that’s fully free and open source, so there should be no privacy issues. It comes with most Linux distros
thanks for your support =)
Thanks for writing in, sure it depends on what the person is doing right? If it’s just a burner account for forums then proton is fine. If it’s your whole life’s business via email, then self-host. If that’s too much trouble, Simplified Privacy offers a service to setup a self-host email on a 1 CPU 1 RAM VPS for you, (with open source email, chat, and cryptpad), and then hand over the credentials to you. We guarantee it won’t be spam, or your money back.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. We actually have a video on why Telegram is bad for privacy, with the main reasons being:
1) metadata leakage
2) censorship
3) not owning or controlling accounts
4) telephone tied to ID with strict VoIP restrictions
5) banning Tor
6) it’s not in F-droid, google play
7) and even malicious handing over of data to governments:

Thanks for writing in. I like that Threema has non-government domain based names, however it’s completely centralized. They control and sell you the account. While Session is similar, but the user owns the name. Or SimpleX nobody owns it, it doesn’t have a single account
I suppose it would depend on what someone is using email for right? If it’s a burner mail you’ve got a forum account on, then sure proton. If it’s everything your business is doing and all activity of every account, you’d consider self-host to hide that metadata on a 1 CPU VPS.
You can disagree with my choices, but don't let that be the reason you stay trapped.
Twitter -> Nostr
Discord -> Matrix
Telegram -> Session
WhatsApp -> Signal/SimpleX
Gmail -> Self-host
Reddit -> RebelNet.me

SMS -> VoIP (if you have to)
Robinhood -> Hugo's Way
Netflix -> LibreY Torrents
DocuSign -> Detached PGP on Arweave
Github -> protocol.land
WordPress -> Hugo
Coinbase -> Basic Swap DEX
SIM cards -> GLinet Travel routers
LinkedIn -> Host a website with your stuff dude

Yeah it was pretty cringe when he said let's align but didn't make any policy concessions. People in the comments were like "FORCED RED PILL"
Donald Trump is speaking at the Libertarian National Convention Now
This is the first time one of official candidates speaks at LP

Well, we set it up, and then hand over the SSH keys, admin passwords, and VPS credentials to you. So you're in charge of your VPS and it's all open source software. And it's not just email, but also cloud team docs Cryptpad and XMPP/SimpleX chat. So you get the most of your 1 CPU VPS.
As a 2nd option, we offer guided "hands off" setups. Where we don't have access and we tech support guide you through it via audio or text.
They flagged RebelNet.me viewed via VirusTotal.com
SimplifiedPrivacy.com was flagged prior but got removed after we wrote them, its on the same IP. However the vendors are being much less responsive this round. We’ll see.
ALL email is insecure for an international state level actor (such as the federal US government) to hack, and this includes proton. This being said, self-hosted is much stronger resistance than services like proton, because proton can much more easily access the data and has a history of doing so for thousands of people. You would find this article very useful:

We can’t go back to 1985. But you can still get laid and drive fast cars because of all the extra time you’ll be saving by having us setup your email for you. =)
How Google’s AI is harmful:
Google originally got popular by figuring out which pages get the most traffic for keywords, through how many links they have from other high traffic sites. In other words, the engine’s ranking was designed to reflect the choices and popularity of the overall market.
Now the goal is for AI to sift through the information and tell you its opinion. In other words, Google isn’t just “saving you time” with AI summaries. They are seizing power over what defines truth. Then once a certain view is promoted through enough mainstream channels, it BECOMES the popular view, with limited external forces, checks, or balances.
And what does Big Tech consider to be true? Well, even Google’s CEO has openly said that conservatives are “low information” voters, and he openly said he wants to use AI to suppress these voices. [1] And even worse than that, they unveiled their new AI to sift through your photos on their cloud. As DigitalTrends reports:
“With the new “Ask Photos” feature, you can soon search your photo library using a conversational approach rather than just keywords. For example, Google demonstrated that you can ask Google Photos for your license plate number or for photos of your child swimming over time by simply asking questions such as “What’s my license plate again?” or “When did my daughter learn to swim?” [2]
Now with AI showing you photos on command, this for-profit advertising company will have the ability to shape your views on your own life experiences after knowing everything about you. “Want to sell women’s make-up or weight loss? We’ll show the ugliest pictures of potential customers to themselves right before an ad for your cream!”
By the way, on an unrelated note, 4 new security vendors have flagged the RebelNet domain as malicious, to purposefully prevent traffic. So if you share this, it might be my only shot to make a difference.
The open source “privacy” community is divided into 2 main camps:
Socialist Fediverse vs Libertarian CypherPunks
Socialist Fediverse
Brainwashed Mastodon and Lemmy users hate everything to do with capitalism. As part of their irrational dislike for Capitalism (which is really a call for violent theft), these moronic socialists favor Linux and open source software because of the lack of a business model. They fail to realize that banning anyone on the Fediverse even attempting any kind of business, is a quick way to degrade open source development.
Socialist Fedis are not logical. They claim they want privacy, but they also want to empower the government with more power. These are opposites. If everyone has complete privacy, how can the government enforce all of this power? The classic example is collecting more taxes vs Monero.
They claim to be decentralized, but all work together to ban, block, and de-federate many ideas. So “open source” Fedis mouth off all day about privacy, but really they are only concerned with controlling the conversation to move towards their totalitarian seizure of power.
Further, Socialist Fedis are arbitrary. They hate Google, but love Mozilla, even though Mozilla’s biggest profit literally comes from Google paying them to put spyware in their browser by default. Fedis have an insane obsession with Brave browser’s CEO for some minor comment about gays, but they could care less about the blood of minorities being spilled on the cold concrete, from Barrack Obama funding Nazis, to do a coup in Ukraine. Apparently, they only care if you describe the US empire’s murdered victims with the correct gender pronouns.
Crypto Libertarian CypherPunks
These are the ones who care about privacy. And I am a part of this group. However, this group is difficult to lead. By their very nature, these people dislike authority, so they will not obey or respect anything. This leads to a breakdown in a consensus to move to alternative systems, such as encryption as identity, private messengers, and which cryptocurrencies to use.
This is why I’m so passionate about DegenRocket & the RebelNet. By allowing any keypairs to interact, it opens the door to this community to grow, while giving people the freedom to pick how they want to do it.
U.S. House votes 279-136 to approve a bill that labels crypto a commodity under CFTC (and therefore primarily out of SEC jurisdiction). But it seems like this bill will die in the Senate.
