@rysiek @activistchecklist right, minimalize, so where do you draw the line, 50%? 25%? 5%?
@dynom @activistchecklist and where do you draw the line? Do you at all? Would you use a 100% fascist-owned communication tool? Would you use Xitter?
I don't have to commit to a specific line in the sand. We're talking about this specific situation, and to me this specific situation is not acceptable. It seems acceptable to you, okay, whatever, that's your choice.
But if there is no line that you would draw, if you'd use any fascist-owned tool, I don't think we have much to talk about.

@rysiek @activistchecklist you mention that a percentage in a venture is a relevant element, because "just some in the team" is "minimizing". So i ask about the relevance of that element.

@dynom @activistchecklist it is relevant, because it is not trivial. But I don't have to commit to a *specific* line in the sand, because there are many more factors that come into that sort of decision.
We make these sorts of decisions all the time. How much salt by % mass is too much in your food? You know when it's too much, and you know when it's not, but giving a specific number is not in any way useful.
You are trying to create a rhetorical trap, and I am not interested in that.

After the #Mullvad scandal a lot of folks had been looking around for a VPN provider they can trust.
The wonderful @activistchecklist got you covered there:
https://activistchecklist.org/vpn/Not only does it list recommended VPNs and reasons for their recommendation (along with those they don't recommend, and why), but also explains what VPNs are good for, what they are not good for, and why giving VPN advice is so hard.
Clearly a lot of research, care, and thoughtful design went into this.
@rysiek @activistchecklist what a honeypot of a website is that? Use Njal.la . It is not even mentioned in their list, which shows to me they are total beginners at what they are doing or are a honeypot.

@rafa @rysiek Yeah honestly I forgot Njalla runs a VPN. It would however be in our "yellow" section because it's never received a public security audit. Njalla is great for hosting and domains especially because they accept Monero. But given that there are other alternatives that have been more rigorously audited, it's not going to make the top of our list.

@activistchecklist @rafa ping @njalla so how about an audit?

@rysiek@mstdn.social @activistchecklist@kolektiva.social... Riseup ... have a long history of pushing back on government legal requests.
Didn't Riseup disclosed 2 of its mailbox users' data to the FBI previously? -

@rysiek @activistchecklist Having an openly transphobic company in the "maybe good" section makes me distrust the entire list
Proton being in the recommended section, while their Trump-loving CEO donates to fascists and complains of people being triggered, isn't a great look either.
