It's looking like #Rumble is being positioned as the next cool, hip #dotCon.

Users seem to think #Rumble has has their back.

When we tell them, its a #surviellanceApparatus that blocks #internetAnonymisers, then it clicks for them, "Oh yeah, they wouldn't let me do XYZ until I gave them my name and contact details".

People are not learning from fairly recent past mistakes, here.

We are not using their memes, though. We just dismiss them as dotcons, then at the same time introduce things like fedi, foss, and #internetAnonymisers and talk about those a lot as solutions.

There was a candidate for major who did that recently here in #Australia and they received 5% of votes, that's 1-in-20 who are consciously aware of and embracing this shift.

Keep enjoying and sharing foss memes. When folks hear and see them they cannot be unseen. It is working.

The #streamingServices (forced) trend is widely documented as wasteful for #environment and favours entities with large capital to serve such easily from many #datacenter locations. See our recent toot. Also, because they reject #internetAnonymisers the household is trivially #surveilled and thus easily inflenced/led by #advertisers and/or #repressive forces. Includes being targetted for not streaming enough, or switching off the stream at the "wrong" time, etc.

Cory Doctorow writes well, but we do not believe that "the cost of #security is everything you believe in."

A person can have basic #privacy and security and still function. The problem is that #corporateFascists make such taboo via soft power in the form of #indoctrination, and difficult to achieve via aggressive tactics. This must stop.

Do your part:

1) seek computers with #physicalDisk drives (#DVD), not just USB.
2) use/support #FOSS.
3) support friends/family using #internetAnonymisers.

As #OnionMaximalists we strongly recommend using such #internetAnonymisers at all times, not just when you need to upload a photo of your itchy butt to they #lawyers who may handle your defense.

Defend your #privacy everyday, and by so doing, help others do the same.

Use TorBrowser and I2P.
