Cybersecurity for the People: How to Keep Your Chats Truly Private With Signal

I made a video, and wrote a detailed article, about using Signal for end-to-end encryption as securely as possible.

@xor @yellowfrog it's worthwhile exploring some of the reasons why people feel phone numbers are private/valuable (without judging them). Off the top of my head:

1) Single phone number -> person mapping means hard to compartmentalise different identities
2) Possibility of harassment tied to knowledge of phone (why people want to keep emails addresses secret too)
3) Expensive to discard phone number, so permanent identifier
4) Phone co. can map to name/address

don't let anyone stop you from being weird

Worth noting: when someone asks you to use pronouns they're not asking you to never make a mistake in your life.

They're asking you to just try, and to be aware that some people deliberately ignore or violate this request strictly to protest that and be overtly threatening.

This is 10x true when you know someone on both sides of a pronoun transition. Everyone knows that mistaken "he's" or "she's" can slip out.

Just try. We won't make it weird if you don't make it weird.

The American right would be fascists it Hitler didn't make it literally an electrified rail to be one, upon which contacting is instant political and social death.

They are more aligned with fascism than not.

"Rugged individualism" is an ideology that goes hand in hand with fascism.

SO FORGIVE ME WHEN I CALL THE ALT-RIGHT NAZIS.

They manage to be more extreme than the mainstream right.

They might as well change Pepe to a swastika.

you're good and you will figure this all out somehow
