    We need more censorship-resistant, private, decentralized communication protocols. We need them to be widespread enough that lawmakers see censoring/controlling them as technically impossible and politically unwise. That means they need to be easy to use for the average person so we can get sufficient adoption. Donate to your software of choice, that’s how it happens.

    This is kinda how Bitcoin is. Even if a nation-sate wants to “ban” it or attack the network, the network is gonna keep working and doing its thing (technically impossible) and they will piss off a bunch of voters and/or other keys to political power and potentially lose out on businesses and jobs building in this sector (politically unwise). The CCP tried to ban Bitcoin some years ago, did not work at all, and the network wasn’t nearly as strong or large as it is today.

      I would say matrix but that is unlikely. Simplex Chat and Signal it is.

        Matrix is in fact decentralized, SimpleX too. But Signal is centralized.

          I won’t disagree

          Signal has downsides but it us still better than Whatsapp

              And yet all of my friends and family refuse to leave whatsapp no matter what because everyone they talk to is also on whatsapp and they don’t want to deal with multiple apps.

                Try your best to switch apps, and maybe one day you will succeed
