If anyone else needs a reason to ditch #discord RIGHT NOW:

@HG granted the fact that kidnappings for ransom are a thing should be the final nail in the coffin re: #Shitcoins & #KYC!

Cuz unlike #TradFin (& #Monero) one can see every walllet's balance and transactions; no warrant required!

And people just roll with this form of self-#d0xxing?

@adisonverlice it's not just re: #Governments (tho #Project2025 explicitly endorses unsactioned comms to twart attempts at #FIOA or any #accountability for that matter), but individuals or any organization:

If a system is #centralized as in #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider, it's inherently vulnerable.

And if #EncroChat got pwned, who's gonna guarantee @signalapp won't if it's actually secure or isn't an #InsideJob like #ANØM.

After all, both #Signal's Organization and key people like @Mer__edith are known to the authorities by more than just their legal name.

What's gonna prevent #Trump from doing a "bag&drag" on her or getting his goons to put a gun on,the developers' heads and force them to,#d0x all users and #backdoor everything (if they didn't already got forced to have some "#LafwulInterception" gear in a closet like #Room641A...

After all, Signal can't pull the 5th and refuse to comply!

TBH, the problem is that #Facebook is allowed to just pay a #fine, instead of facing actual #penalties.

It's not enough to have #NSAbook pay an insultingly low sum that won't even cover the time needed (or costs) to #unfuck this mess and change all the details of an affected person, but to have actual consequences aka. #jailtime and #AssetForfeiture against the people from the person who implemented it up to the CxOs!

Anything else is undue leniency...

@ramonita #Signal is a #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution that falls under #CloudAct and demands #PII like #PhoneNumbers which makes it trivial to #d0x and harrass members of such a group.

I'll gladly help in that endeavour and explain everything...

@legrex @OS1337 @noxypaws @signalapp there are many other options for that that don't require one to self-#d0x with a phone number.

Like #IRC & #XMPP-Conferencing.

Espechally the latter one just works and with @monocles / #MonoclesChat it's so easy even my mother can do it!

I mean even other [AFAICT legit but not gonna vouch for anyone] sources like "#OtokonokoPharmaceuticals" don't use major platforms.

Using #Shopify for a #medication store is a huge #RedFlag and shows that this was made as a #SmoothBrain op to either #d0x customers and/or harm them.
