Respect Privacy for Real
Privacy goes beyond something like usage of the best DM protocols. Beyond hardware and software. What's the point of all this if the other side of communication may still expose your secrets previously shared in the DMs?
FOSSdev, poetry, post-postmodernism. Making distraction-free and privacy-respecting software. Neovim/Rust/Gentoo/Alpine enjoyer. Rarely posting introvert.
Anti-"anti": I believe in focusing on what we are rather than on what we are not. Otherwise we become what we are not.

I enjoy chilled intellectual conversations, preferably dialogues rather than debates 🧠
If we're debating, I care that none of us is overwhelmed by our own stress, care that we're not debating out of our hallucinations about each other's positions 👾 Otherwise, we're engaging in rational debates imitation.
We're not on some legacy media platform; nobody can ban anyone, so naive traditionalist-ish ethics don't work here. We're damned to learn how to communicate effectively here without unnecessarily harming each other 🫂
I haven't yet encountered any -ism that would be sound enough with my belief system. If I refer to whatever particular thing some controversial figure has said, that doesn't automatically mean I agree with their entire discourse.
Some of the topics I have opinions on:
🔐 #Privacy & #Security 🌍 #MeaningCrisis & #MetaTheories & #MetaModernism & #NonReductionistPhilosophy 🪟 #DevelopmentalPsychology & #AQAL & ( #KenWilber vs #DavidLong ) 🦖 #PostModernism 🤖 #AI & #Consciousness & ( #Emergentism vs #Idealism ) 🧘🏻♂️ #Meditation & #Creativity & #PostMetaphysical attempts to make sense of inevitable #TransPersonalExperiences ⚪ #Psychedelics & #Nootropics
I'm generally open and peaceful ☮️
I might, however, with respect to each other's privacy, occasionally proportionally highlight some toxic culty behavior in case of ensuring hard enough that it's damaging to all of us. That's not identical to attempts to overthrow somebody's reputation entirely: I'm normally coming from a position that everybody's sincerely trying to build #freedom here 🗽

KYC in dating apps in particular is a very confusing example. But more generally, what's wrong with various kinds of verifications? What and how to properly solve without putting privacy at risk?
I've never trusted proxy functionality in various apps. There's something to learn from how Chromium-based browsers silently screwed it at some point, for example.
AI companies are shaping society but without clear understanding of the broader impacts. Reductionism limits AI development, whereas synthesizing diverse knowledge can yield emergent solutions such as more balanced and transformative AI systems. A new meta-theory by David Long is one of the possible ways to navigate all fields of human knowledge in a hope to solve problems of the new epoch.
