- md_ 5y agoThere seem to be two popular approaches to avoiding the need to trust institutions. One is technical: e2ee, implementation transparency, and similar. The other is social: have fewer institutions. I have never understood people who think the latter is a good approach. Like, "I don't trust these people who use their real names and are registered in a jurisdiction that has strong privacy obligations, so I'm gonna trust some randos on an abandoned oil rig instead."
