@riverpunk @akareilly oh my gosh yes please!!! i am here because i am super passionate about my politics and values but it took me a good 24hours of research to understand and get myself onto the fediverse and its quite intimidating and i reeeaaally want to get more people here (and generally into open source, of which ibe known about and used for years) who i know wont do that work. i dont have any experience in code/programming and am overwhlemed by how many people here are, so it feels pretty alienating figuring out how to use things sometimes, as even if i ask i dont really understand the instructions

@Ruth_Mottram the proton one seems pretty good so far! kinda terrifying to be shown excatly how many times and places ive used the same passwords for a mix of incresibly important things and inconsequential things. whoops

@Ruth_Mottram the proton one or? im discovering i am a minority here in that i am not a coder/programmer/texh person! and doing some catching up..

@Ruth_Mottram @lemgandi this is how i mostly have for people to signal too, or lost touch with them tbh. i have had less luck with getting my YA’s to take this kinda thing on board but this reminds me to have another go

@ang6666 @Ruth_Mottram i love my paper diary. its my own private world. and if i dont have it with me, its the perfect excuse to not make solid plans
