    The response from SimpleX reads like a naive idea that just because there are Nazis here doesn’t make us Nazis.

    The Wired article by David Gilbert focusing on neo-Nazis moving to SimpleX Chat following the Telegram’s changes in privacy policy is biased and misleading. By cherry-picking information from the report by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), Wired fails to mention that SimpleX network design prioritizes privacy in order to protect human rights defenders, journalists, and everyday users who value their privacy — many people feel safer using SimpleX than non-private apps, being protected from strangers contacting them.

    Yes, privacy-focused SimpleX network offers encryption and anonymity — that’s the point. To paint this as problematic solely because of who may use such apps misses the broader, critical context.

    Like, guy, the Nazis are using that idealistic vision of a shared private world and staining it with bigotry and hatred. If nothing is done, SimpleX is a Nazi network.







  • It’s good that the pizza turned out as it did because there are raw cherry tomatoes and cucumber eyes on a pizza. Those aren’t toppings, they are hallmarks or mentally unsettled individuals. Tomatoes become molten, spraying tomato magma and seed all over a person’s mouth and lips. And cucumbers have a purpose, unless there are only 2 and they are fastened to olive pupils without toothpicks. Don’t trust edible “glue”.


  • The man is mad that people don’t like how he monetizes Ubisoft games and game mechanics. He is upset at the messages he gets when he upsets a game to inject a micro transaction. He is part of the wave of business professionals that don’t see game players as people - we are just cash waiting to be harvested from idle wallets. This is what quid-pro-quo looks like; he is seeing what we look like to him and he doesn’t like it. He wants to be a person with a name and friends and credibility that allows mistakes to be made in good faith. We want to have fun, sometimes with friends and other times alone, in a game world where we can be a person with a name, friends, and have the ability to explore. We both want the same thing.

    So why is he treating people like cattle instead of people who are trying to have fun with the system they have been given? Fuck this narcissistic piece of executive hypocrisy. He doesn’t deserve peace until he exits the industry or finds a way to be actually useful.
