Love the way that #mastodon has the federated mindset instead of the giant companies who wants to manipulate and override everyone. #mastodonmigration #privacymatters #freedomofspeechandexpression #decentralization #dapps #web3

To be honest, platforms or dapps that require an email address to sign up pose a risk to personal privacy, such as Bluesky, Mastodon, and Misskey. 😰

🤔I think there are alternatives like WireMin or Session that I find useful.

Personally preferred WireMin, cuz…

• WireMin combines end-to-end encrypted messaging for both 1-on-1 chats and chat groups, as well as a blog posting feature called Feed Space. 🚀
• Regarding the Dataleaks issue with ChatGPT, I think WireMin has solved this issue in some way because users can use ChatGPT anonymously on WireMin. Even though OpenAI may still be collecting data, it won't be valuable if AI can't recognize who you are, right?🔪

Undeniably, Misskey, Mastodon, and Bluesky are making a great contribution to freedom of speech, and I love using Misskey😍. But I am still concerned about the privacy issue. I wonder why they still need personal information to register. Why not make it like WireMin or Session? Where you just create your username and set a password, and done.🤔🤔🤔 #bluesky #blueskysocial #mastodonmigration #privacymatters #freedomofspeechandexpression #decentralization #dapps #web3
