When I tested it, VPN do work after sms verification. Tor nodes, however, resulted in all my test accounts being banned.
I’ve found that being consistent with what you choose to share is the most difficult thing. Conversations can get personal, and as you get closer to those random nicknames there’s the constant urge to share mundane stuff about your daily lives like weather, holidays, and such that will all add up.
It’s a hostage situation they’re doing like any proprietary social network. You want to encourage people to move away from them, but then you need to interact with those same people in order to do that.
SimpleX having PFS while Session not having it also seals the deal.
Problem is, people rarely realize the importance until they’re lost. Plenty of posts from 90s and 2000s containing valuable insights are probably lost forever. Remember that not everything online is in English, either.
Wait until someone screams ‘AI will help’.
Think of the poor corporations, man! Have you no soul?
Treating phone numbers in contact list with username was a brilliant idea (for the spread of mobile messengers like Whatsapp) but also a very horrible idea (for user privacy and everything else). I can’t just change a phone number for privacy. My acquaintances will gladly update them with my name, my old and new number, ready for Zucc to scoop them up in a fucking silver plate.
Burner phone to anything that requires communication. Erase metadata of anything that will be shared and uploaded online.

If she’s annoyed of advertisements creeping up, introduce her to adblockers and slowly make her get used to it. If she has shared concerns after seeing her friends or colleagues receive abusive comments on their social media accounts, comment on the dangers of oversharing one’s private life and its potential consequences and tangible threats, like medical insurance companies abusing the info, and so on.
I would have to find a way to keep them on without needing a battery inserted.
For some of my acquaintances, uploading to facebook or sending them through whatsapp counts as backing up their pictures.
Wake up, developer. We have an OS to burn.
Ah, the 4chan method of engagement, right?
The same used to be said for Internet Explorer in the 90s.
I can be your Guest1234
anytime you want ;)
2FA must be done through the damn app. It’s TOTP (six digit) but locked behind god knows what. I asked for alternatives and they looked me like I was a caveman.
