Criticism is welcome, but remember to give constructive criticism, which includes consideration of how your criticism will affect the other person emotionally. The golden rule applies: how would you feel if you read the message was directed at you? It's hard for someone to constructively make use of criticism if receiving it is an emotional drain.

Hi! You may most likely know me as co-editor of ActivityPub, the decentralized social network message which is more-than-likely how you're actually receiving this message! w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Other things you may want to know:

- I'm a user freedom activist (free software, free culture)
- I post a lot of leftie politics stuff
- Expect lots of tech posts around lisp, decentralized network stuff, obscure-ish programming history

After cursory investigation there are quite a lot of Google references in the Riot android app. It looks like analytics is not much of a problem, especially if you installed from f-droid. It's either off by default or you can turn it off from settings.

The main Google integration is GCM and that only applies if you installed from Google Play.

So basic opsec with the Riot app is to only install it from f-droid and prefer xmpp when possible.
