I snorted when this was the only comment. They know what they’re doing with that name.
Going by their phone number they’re Italian, although I can’t find the address they’re registered to, on their webpage.

What metadata does XMPP leak?
AFAIK only when a message was sent, roughly (in large increments) how large the message was, the server of the sender knows from who to which server, the server of the recipient knows from which server to who.
I find it strange that Signal somehow doesn’t know when a message was sent, and from who to who; how would they ever make this possible?
Also, you say you have yet to find any other free service that collects as little data… How about most e-mail providers? Not Google and Microsoft of course, but most e-mail providers only need a name which can be made up as well. You hm also host your own email server, then you are in control. All of this is true for XMPP and Matrix, as well.
If this is real, then that’s some North Korea shit right there.
Wait hold up, in Dutch we have glimwormen (“shimmer worms” ) but those don’t fly! They’re actual bioluminecent worms.
Aren’t German Glühwürmchen the same thing?
I thought money to Lemmy (not your instance but the founders) went to a US organisation?
It’s still federated so I guess it doesn’t really matter much, but still…
hot sauce Netherlands
I’m having a hard time believing they’ll be hot, speaking from experience with my fellow Dutch.
Someone is writing in English how the French are talking about the Scandinavians?
It can’t get much more European than this!
XMPP is more comparable to Signal, yes.
Signal does need (yes, need) a phone number, and most people only have one so that is identifiable info.
This puts it at mostly the same level as some competitors, including WhatsApp which is often advised against.
Signal is American
Opt for a Matrix or XMPP provider in Europe (magicbroccoli.de is a genuinely great XMPP provider)
You’re right, I must’ve copied the links incorrectly, I just fixed them.
You can poison the well:
You really needed a URL shortener, didn’t you, you devil?
Let’s not use “cuck” as a slur, please.
Well tbf meds might make you go into withdrawal, so it’s like telling someone to stop taking their blood pressure, diabetes or anticonception meds. Which you also wouldn’t do.
I would if I could!
I will say, there’s something scary about crafting your own medicine, I’d expect medicine to be highly precisely crafted in labs by highly educated professionals and that it’d be difficult and perhaps dangerous to make and take your own medicine. I could be wrong.
The things they write in the article are amazing, people can make their own life savine cure to hepatitis C for about 70 USD for their whole home made treatment, that just works? It seems too good to be true without any caveats.
Oh and, final thought, “Four Thieves Collective”? They really don’t beat around the bush. I like that
Buying from, and supporting the artist directly, IMO.
Many European metal bands host their own webshop selling their merchandise, records, cassettes and CDs; many small and independent musicians sell their songs on Bandcamp (US based website that does take a cut from each payment, 15% I believe goes to Bandcamp, so that is something to keep in mind)
