A nice example why #safety must be prioritized over #security.


Are you on Signal or Wire yet? Go do that. Gently move your friends/fam over to one of the platforms. Set disappearing messages on both sides of the conversation. Be careful what you say in group chats, know who you trust, and who are your Vault people. For REAL sensitive stuff, in-person, no phones.

Normalize going places without your phones, leave them at home now and again to establish a pattern.

Please understand anyone who works in advocacy, healthcare (esp reproductive rights/women's healthcare), journalists, some gov officials, marginalized groups will likely be targeted.

If this doesn't fit your threat model/risk profile, you know someone who will be impacted by oversight, surveillance or someone snitching

If that is the case, how can instances differentiate?

I became a member of a particular instance BECAUSE they do not accept, save, and forward everything.

The policies of my instance form the guardrail that protects my mailbox.
