MODERATORS
I've noticed many people tend to look for alternatives when their mainstream apps are either temporarily down or become greedy.
I remember a few years ago Meta servers were down which resulted in my whole family and some friends at least partially moving over to Signal. Now it's important that the alternative has at least the basic features people want. Most people are not ubernerds like us willing to sacrafice GIFs, emoji's or whatever and would switch back once they realize it's missing features.
For instance, I've noticed people becoming increasingly frustrated with Windows but won't switch to Linux due to missing program or game support.
So ultimately I think the focus should be for privacy-respecting apps to be feature-complete. It's much easier to convince someone to switch if there's a reason to stay.
This probably means sacrificing on security features but I don't think the goal should be for everyone to be on Qubes OS and SimpleX. Rather having at least basic online privacy and the ability to remove data on demand.
I can use an sdr to read your water meter and determine how often you go to the bathroom, shower, wash your clothes, and when you're home and it's not illegal. I'm allowed to follow you around and take your picture as much as I want to. I can print off as many pictures of you as I want in public and wallpaper my whole house with your face and body, there's nothing you can do about it. I can do an 8 hour video essay about you and share this with everyone. As long as the info is publicly available (or not in most U.S. states), it's legal.

for the site see if you can reissue the cert or try certbot if u already used certbot try manyally downloading the cert an pointibng to it
The site is hosting by a hosting company - and they assure me that the cert is fine.
If I was self hosting I'd expect these problems, but not with a hosting company.
The only difference with this company is that they do not use any big tech infrastructure - they have their own servers. I wonder if big tech has something they don't.....?
idk for me it doesnt say a error just cannot complete request and https even though connections not secure its quite odd and i can use http for it an it works
really? It works with just http? that is weird.
It suggests to me that the web hosting company we are using don't know what they're doing. We're going to change.
Anyone want to join my privacy team? I'm trying out for the 2026 Olympics.
Same brooo🤣🤣
