@mit_scharf the problem with "threat scenarios" is that they tend to change quickly, non-consensual and without warning.
- Demanding any #PII [even by virtue of being correlateable through circumstances] to be able to use a service is inherently bad, espechally since there is no "legitimate interest" for that.
"#KYC" is the illicit activity! and #Signal acts as a controlled opposition by virtue of being a #proprietary, #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider "solution" that subjects itself to a juristiction that has 0 #privacy laws and only #cyberfacism (see #CloudAct ) to boot...
- I find it more fatiguing and also expensive to try to workaround shite than to migrate folks to secure standards because that's a one-time investment that I'm willing to take vs. having to jump through hoops and paywalls to acquire a working #SIM (or #eSIM) anonymously and maintaining it.
It's just not in the cards TBH!

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find this to be the worst way to decide a #TechStack.
- If #IT was developed and maintained that way, we'd not have #Linux or even #Windows, most likely not even #CPM & #UNIX because "everyone uses punchcards and tubes, so stop complaining!"...
#NetworkEffects are #toxic when it comes to #SaaS and #proprietary shite, regardless if the bad guys are #discord, #Autodesk, #Adobe, #Apple or #Microsoft for that matter. (Don't even get me started on #SAP & #Oracle!)…
- I just don't vibe with that appeal and would rather #SelfHost than compromise. If that makes me an outlyer then I'm happy to pay that price!

But if I was wrong, I 'd not be called upon as a Linux #Sysadmin and to act as "#BenevolentDictator" in terms of Tech Stack Decisions...
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@MxVerda@lgbtqia.space @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social @qdot@buttplug.engineer Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options.
- Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject@mastodon.social have their own @gitlab@mastodon.social / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted.
- If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta@chaos.social / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles@monocles.social & @gajim@fosstodon.org may be an option.
- If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip@fosstodon.org / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat@fosstodon.org / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience.
Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically *#Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse*…
