@ademalsasa I suggest not trusting #swiso. https://lemmy.ml/post/31487

When the most privacy-respecting #search service is the least popular & mostly unheard of, it means the privacy advice sites are not doing their job. They all continue to endorse a #Microsoft syndicate. It’s pitiful. They¹ should be embarrassed to still be standing behind #DDG. 1. #ThinkPrivacy #SwiSo ssd.eff.org securitycheckli.st #PRISMbreak @markosaric #privacyGuides

@joeligj12 E.g. #swiso still endorses #DuckDuckGo, even though there's a huge list of serious issues (http://techrights.org/2021/03/15/duckduckgo-in-2021/) while at the same time there are tens of better options that #SwitchingSoftware ignored.

@FediFollows @dpwiz @mxtthxw@mastodon.online @switchingsoftware First and foremost, you shouldn't lie to the readers. You shouldn't recommend a walled garden while calling it "open". I answered this earlier. The honest thing for #swiso to say is "we do not know of any service that upholds our values but perhaps you'll find these alternatives better than Patreon, & note the list of pitfalls for why these options also counter our values"

@dpwiz @mxtthxw@mastodon.online @FediFollows @switchingsoftware if "pack your stuff" & "walk away" is a metaphor for boycott #Cloudflare, that's indeed what I do. I boycott all of #MACFANG. But this is not about me; it's about #switchingSoftware, who is betraying their readers by lying to them about the openness of the #Cloudflare site that they endorse & by concealing the pitfalls which directly contradicts the #SWISO mission.

@switchingsoftware @FediFollows @mxtthxw@mastodon.online @dpwiz A blind claim that Tor is only convenient in "outdated" protocols is unfounded. Which modern protocols are you saying Tor is inconvenient or sluggish for? Cloudflare being "here to stay" is very poor rationale for supporting #Cloudflare. #Amazon, #Google, #Facebook, & #Microsoft are also here to stay but this does not justify empowering them. It does not justify #swiso lying to ppl.

@dpwiz @mxtthxw@mastodon.online @FediFollows @switchingsoftware Would you trust Cloudflare to handle your sensitive financial data knowing that? This is what #Liberapay is exposing people to, with endorsement from #swiso contrary to their mission statement.

@cnx @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw@mastodon.online @FediFollows #Fosspay is clearly a better choice than #Liberapay. Avoiding #Paypal is a big plus. But I must say when we compare fosspay to liberapay, it's only sensible is consider liberapay as software (not the liberapay.com service). All the evil with liberapay is with the service, which is what #swiso shamefully endorses. Anyway, fosspay sw is still better for favoring #Swipe over #Paypal.

@mxtthxw@mastodon.online @switchingsoftware @FediFollows The concealed pitfalls and false statements show that #SwitchingSoftware distrusts the judgement of its readers, which is a clear cut sign that #swiso does not merit trust from its visitors.

@FediFollows @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw@mastodon.online the biggest problem w/ #swiso's endorsement of #liberapay is not as much the endorsement itself but the lies. SwiSo says LP is "open" when in fact it's in an exclusive walled garden. What's the point of lying to ppl? The honest thing to do is say "We know of no service that supports our mission, but we think these are better than patreon". Tell the truth & don't conceal issues.

@mxtthxw@mastodon.online @FediFollows @switchingsoftware this thread is also interesting, where #swiso disregards warnings about #Liberapay & opts to proactively endorse them: https://codeberg.org/swiso/website/issues/141

@torsten_torsten

Ja, #SwitchingSoftware (#SwiSo) ist super - ...und auch im Fediverse vertreten: @switchingsoftware 👋

@mpanhans @strypey Certainly more projects like this are needed. The existing projects (#privacytoolsio, #prismbreak, #swiso) screw it up by recommending alternatives that are counter productive: https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/31487 Avoid their mistakes by gathering input from experts & staying true to the mission.

@subins2000

something for @switchingsoftware maybe

#swiso

@gemlog

As an example; if I search in Mastodon for a post by @earth I can like, share, and comment on it.
The same goes with a video on #peertube and as well with a textpost by an #friendica.

#swiso isn't accessible through the fediverse. There's no way to *access* or *interact* in any way with a "post" from https://switching.software

Does that make sense?
