Not trusting in science.

Edit: Since there are many comments, I would like to clarify my statement. I meant that you should rather trust scientists, that the earth is round / that there is a human-made climate change, etc. and not listen to some random internet guy, that claims these things are false although he has made no scientific tests or he has no scientific background. I know that there are paradigm shifts in science and sometimes old ideas are proven to be wrong. But those shifts happen through other scientific experiments/thoughts. As long as > 99 % of all scientists think that something is true, you should rather trust them then any conspiracy theorist...

Don't invest in crypto.

I really like the idea of open source software and use it as much as possible.

But another "problem" is that you don't know if the compiled program you use is actually based on the open source code or if the developer merged it with some shady code no one knows about. Sure, you can compile by yourself. But who does that 😉?

Mein Reddit-Account ist schon gelöscht. Ich bleibe also hier 😊..

So it is either closed-source with promised encryption (not verifiable) and a lot of meta data collection or open-source without encryption. Tough call. Signal would be best of both worlds, but it seems to be no alternative for you.

Since I don't trust Meta with anything, I would use Telegram if I had to. But I would absolutely not be happy with it.

Try to convince the people around you to use Signal.

Just deleted my account without any problems. Deleted all posts/comments via Redact before of course...

Do you really think there will be a big rush on Lemmy's servers on July 1st? In my opinion most people that wanted to switch to Lemmy/boycott Reddit already did so. The rest will just use the official app or the browser website.

Well, since I am one of the people who chose the "official" server on Lemmy as well as on Mastodon, I will tell you why I did it: The "official" server will most likely be the one, that has the least chance to be abandoned/closed at some time in contrast to a small server maintained by some student as a side-project (no offense :-) ). I don't want to loose everything and start at zero, so I chose the most "reliable" server.

Yeah, it is kind of confusing for the average user why there is a ![email protected] and a ![email protected] community. If you subscribe to both you will see topics twice. If you subscribe to only one you can miss things out.

I'm using Qobuz. Since it is a rather small service, I just hope it is more private than the "big players" like Spotify/Apple Music. But the main benefits of Qobuz are the audio quality and the (afaik) highest payment per streamed song for artists.

Yep, me too. Unbelievable that it was LastPass, Authy and Gmail a few years ago. What a shift for me :-).

Same for me. I hope that Infinity gets ported to Lemmy someday.

Liftoff ruckelt bei mir beim Scroller leider total. Scheint auf 60 Hz zu laufen oder so. Jerboa ist wesentlich flüssiger..

Wow, I didn't know about this. I think that's a big reason for not choosing Apple..

The default font size on the thread overview page is okay, but when you enter a thread it is way too large. When you decrease the font size, the fonts on the overview page become way too small.

I don't know why they are so different and why they are even connected in the settings.

I did the same some years ago. Just deleted WhatsApp and told everyone I was either available via Signal/Threema or via SMS/Mail. Most of my friends installed Signal alongside WhatsApp over the following weeks.

And this "worked" in a country with over 90 % WhatsApp users ;-).

Genau, ich auch. Viel besser hier :-)

I mostly use Signal but also Threema for a few contacts (you don't need a phone number for Threema, but it is not free - around 4-5 € one-time-payment).

Ich nutze auch Aegis. Vor etlichen Jahren war ich mal bei Authy.
