It’s like any other social platform, you have to invest time to build connections. Don’t encourage coomers tho.

Except relay admins aren’t analysing all of your data to profile you, nor is there a profit motive.

I’m sure it’s technically different but you should be very suspicious of the ppl funding it and their motives.

It’s like accepting a computer from the feds, with their guarantee it’s totally unhackable. Nobody could ever actually determine if that’s true because it’s incredibly complex.

Yeah, I’m sure the most anti privacy ppl literally ever in human history are funding a privacy project in good faith.

If you think the US government is going to fund a project that goes directly against their stated interests without an asterisk, then I have a bridge to sell you.

What they’re capable of doing is far beyond what’s publicly disclosed.

They’re funded by Village Global, which also includes Bill Gates btw.

I don’t even totally remember that drama, I think it had to do with Alex’s connections to the PPN. I’ll have to look into this to be sure.

SimpleX

Sorry Jack, isn’t SimpleX funded by Bezos and Zuckerberg?

Should we trust them in your opinion?

That’s a good point actually. Is that feasible within our lifetimes though?

I keep telling ppl to not use the PPN relay but.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It depends what you mean I guess. They may be capturing everything but I doubt they’re actively watching. They weren’t even really aware of the fediverse until recently.
