@lumi ah, that's fair. for what it's worth, phone number, IP address, and login dates are like the only things signal actually store on you- they have a public list of government subpoenas they've received, and in all cases that's the maximum extent of what they've been able to hand over. everything else is E2EE and primarily stored on-device.
of all the chat apps out there, i trust signal the most.
@lucydev@rakoo i believe in stuff that can be demonstrated, i suppose. i have not seen a successful anarchist society demonstrated at scale (really any scale for that matter).
systems of hierarchy make sense to me because it's what i've seen work, and so long as the structure is kept well-balanced with equitable mobility on all levels, i believe it can work very well.
i also feel like removing any source of authority leaves the individual on their own when dealing with a personal dispute (one they may not be equipped to handle without, well, a higher-up mediator).
i find it to be a neat thought experiment, but very difficult to support under basic scrutiny.
