Yhea.

I can almost exclusively chat with my social circle with signal now, been using it since 8-9 years.

I’ve tried xmpp, matrix and some other. Signal is the only one that stuck, it’s not perfect but it’s fucking fine from my perspective.

Why?

Dont connect it to the internet. That’s all

That account posting picture of naked people pooping?

I don’t think it’s lemmy’s main dev…

I don’t know stremio but jellyfin (and Plex and emby) are interresting becquse they allow you to serve content outside of your local network.

A solution is that you manage the server and jellyfin and your friends/family connect to it. It only works if you have a decent upload or if you rent a server/vps

Delta chat implement some of those features.

Nobody read the article and now everyone is angry and scared at the big evil psychologist.

It focuses on what’s hapenning in the US and capitol events.

“As the United States grapples with a surge of domestic extremism—including the Capitol breach on January 6—psychologists are identifying factors that are at the root of such violence, along with ways to stop it.”

And here is the full quote about anti capitalism

Studies of domestic terrorism have largely focused on three categories: far right, far left, and Islamist. START’s Profiles of Individual Radicalization in the United States (PIRUS), a database of 2,226 people who engaged in extremist crimes, points to some demographic differences between those groups […] Left-wing extremists include groups and individuals who oppose capitalism, support environmental or animal rights causes, or embrace communism, socialism, or anarchism (The Escalating Terrorism Problem in the United States, Center for Strategic and International Studies, 2020). Some members of the anti-fascist political protest movement Antifa have enacted violent extremist crimes, but research by psychologist Gina Scott Ligon, PhD, director of the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education Center (NCITE) at the University of Nebraska Omaha, shows that while Antifa-inspired individuals engaged in increasing levels of violence over the summer of 2020, it is still a decentralized movement with low levels of coordination and does not meet the criteria for an organization (Dynamics of Asymmetric Conflict, Vol. 14, No. 1, 2021).

So if ou want a take home message it’s that violence define radicalization.

Radicalization of opinion can be an important precursor to meaningful social change,” said Lemieux. “The problem is when people begin to feel that using violence in service of those views is not only justified but also recognized and celebrated.”

I’m gonna preface this comment by writing that I don’t know those two peoples and only checked the hated one channel and watched one of his video on apple. Feel free to correct me.

The key word is agenda.

To understand such behaviour it helps to identify those people motives. In my opinion, - maybe misguided - they are akin to any other influencers. They promote privacy and an associated ‘hacker’ lifestyle like one would promote vegan, fitness, makeup, etc.

The hated one shit on big tech but he also monetize his content, had a patreon and ask for donation. I don’t see any peertube, mastodon or lemmy presence.

He does not provide those video out of goodness of his heart but has monetary incentives behind him, he has a brand, follower, etc. This is not necessarily a bad thing. However it need to be taken into account when trying to understand some decision, and a big one is why they focus on some stuff and not others.

From my limited expertise - I’m a human and I use the internet - fear mongering and drama are two important mechanism in the influencer tool-set. And using them help improve their brand so why wouldn’t they?

Thanks for listening to my ted talk.
