Just for you guys to know, a Saudi teacher got death sentence over tweets, cuz it is linked to his identity, and now Elon even wants more specific data from users? People need to give up on Twitter!

Transforming Twitter into an 'everything' app is a terrible idea. Why? Take WeChat, for example. Initially a messaging app, it now incorporates a multitude of services including short video clips similar to YouTube, Twitter-like posts (for friends only), a wallet linked to a bank card, and more. One of my Chinese friends said, 'You won't find anyone in China who doesn't use WeChat because it has everything we need!' It seems that users are quite satisfied with the services WeChat provides.
However, they may be overlooking the drawbacks of such centralized applications:
These issues and risks are inherent in centralized platforms and social media but consolidating them into an 'everything' app only amplifies the risks. My friend mentioned that WeChat hasn't introduced a subscription fee yet, but Twitter and other services have.
I mean, an 'everything' app might be feasible in a restricted country like China, in the United States? Hell not! But, Big Tech and governments have the monopolistic power to make these things happen, so we have to find alternatives. The sooner we migrate, the sooner we can reduce the risks that I mentioned above.
The digital world is incredible, but also dangerous. It's best that we start protecting our own privacy rights, our right to speak freely, and our right to control our own minds and discern the truth.
Unfortunately, it's true... Monitoring, data collection, implementing ads, and there's so little security for our accounts. Idk, I've been using Google less than ever since ChatGPT came out. And DuckDuckGo.
Canada banning WeChat is a great idea, for the country's security and privacy. Speak of that, look at what Elon is doing; he keeps trying to turn Twitter into WeChat, and he won't stop until he makes it true!
In case you are not familiar with WeChat and the seriousness of its censorship toward users: 👇
We have to ditch centralized platforms for our own sake! And there are plenty of choices: Mastodon, Misskey, WireMin, Damus. (PS: WireMin is a combination of a private messenger & social media; it's my favorite for now because I get to join chat groups for anonymous discussions.)
No worries! Thats baked dry-aged salmon, and yes thats rice the middle bowl is Sukiyaki (a traditional way to cook sliced wagyu beef) Soup is miso soup And yes, pickled veges.
I mean, love to try new stuff is the right way to live our life isn't it ?!
Another data leaks trap. It's like Zuck is saying, "Come here, so I can get more data from you guys."
Every policy about data collection is mandatory for users, with no difference from just setting it without asking.

That ture, But the calories for all these is even lower than a burger, everything are full of healthy ingrediants. I like to stay full for the whole morning, and only a japanese sandwich for lunch.
And we share real background information, very specific details. This could lead them to our friends and colleagues!
But I'm not sure it can be called social media, though, but if you are looking for social media platforms that can avoids data leaks, and don't ask for your personal info when register, WireMin and Damus are both good choices.
Speaking of which, we should have a version of LinkedIn that is decentralized!
'Freedom of Speech Not Reach', I was like isn't the same thing with Shadowbanning? It's so disgusting that he keeps claiming Twitter is the place for online Freedom of Speech but look at what he did.
thanks for using Leebra!
