That's fascinating, because when I joined similar groups last year, they all emphasized using Signal for private comms. They were, in fact, the only people I talked to Singal on, because nobody else I knew really used the app back then.
Perhaps there's a stronger privacy culture in some activist groups versus others.
- rakoo 5y agoFrom my very little experience there are a few categories: - groups where privacy is a matter of personal security will actively use Libre Software and their own services because it's just too important - groups emerging from the technical world will naturally adopt Libre software and decentralized services because tech doesn't scare them - everyone else comes from a world where FB/Twitter/Instagram is the norm, so when they group together on issues related to the physical world they will continue to use the digital tools they are used to There is a real work of deconstructing our tools and the prevalence of big tech in our digital world, just like there was a necessity to deconstruct the position of white males in a patriarchal, occidental society.
