Mirror.xyz seems like a good platform for #decentralized blogging. The publishing event is stored on the #ethereum #blockchain, while the contents (text, media) are stored on #Arweave. The user interface is user-friendly as much as Medium.

I wish #Peepeth could stop sharing user data with #Google, #Twitter #Amazon and #Cloudflare.

How a #WhatsApp status loophole is aiding cyberstalkers

We need privacy to explore new ideas freely, to make up our own minds. #Privacy protects us from unwanted pressures and abuses of power. We need it to be autonomous individuals, and for democracies to function well we need citizens to be autonomous.

Before you can do bad things to people with a clear conscience, you must dehumanise them. In Big Tech designers and developers can build systems that track, profile, and exploit people then go home to hug their kids because they’re not people to them, they’re “users” and “data.”

Good enough for normal people

Telegram is better than whatsapp but not the best to protect your privacy. I would go with Signal (I use it myself and it's pretty good).

You can share knowledge one step at time. I managed to delete it a few years ago.

Today is a good day to leave it.

Peepers, what's your $ETH target for this bullrun? :-)

Note to self: don't be that guy moaning and yelling every day on a social. Be proactive, be positive, share happiness and knowledge. You will get it back.

Please check your timeline and stop sharing negativity, it happens, we can see it w/o your unuseful comments.
