Auch die Geburtsstadt von Rosa Luxemburg, die Partnerstadt von @stadtweimar@twitter.com erklärt sich zur LGBT-freien Zone. Im 21. Jahrhundert ist dergleichen möglich, in einem Mitgliedsland der Europäischen Union. Und das Schweigen ist ohrenbetäubend... @queer_de@twitter.com @rosaluxstiftung@twitter.com

signal/privacy rant

also, its not about me, i dont really care as im happy with riot/matrix. but an easy-to-use alternative to recommend to non-tech people would be really nice. i just wont recommend them any service that wants them to give up a crucial part of their privacy. a phone number can be misused in so many ways, esp in germany it is also connected to name and address of the owner. yes, one could register with a different phonenumber, but thats not easy-to-use anymore and also it is far to easy to reconstruct, as no easy-to-obtain throw-away numbers exist here anymore, so one would have to use the number of a friend.
"we want people to be able to communicate when they have the phone number" - yeah, well, i dont. no need to take that decision from the individual user. im perfectly fine with an option to connect the account to the phone number - if this is opt-in. with phonenumber registration, everybody with whom i want to write needs to have my phonenumber. while an account may be blocked, getting called by phone is quite difficult to block. ever had an ex who wouldnt accept ones decision? ever bought something off craigslist from that creepy person who thinks being friendly equals flirting? ever been in a group for local sports with that one person who just loves to harrass you? well, moxie doesnt care about you and your freedom and safety. but i do, thats why i wont recommend a service which requires registration with phone number.
i could, theoretically, fork it and build my own privacy-enhanced version, yes. but guess who strongly opposes that? right, moxie. that so goes against my understanding of free software, i dont even now how it could be called foss by some people.
