teaneedz 🍄<p>Encrypt everything. Over and over, I've seen that social platforms are too greedy and quarterly profit driven to look at users as anything but the product. Algorithms are designed to manipulate engagement. Encrypted data is useless for that model though. Here it's public, but at least decentralized. Still, I see E2E encrypted messages as the best way to stop feeding greedy corps.</p><p><a href="https://donteatanimals.org/tags/wickrme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WickrMe</span></a> <a href="https://donteatanimals.org/tags/protonmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtonMail</span></a></p>
