time to make my own shitty ass software to deal with this stuff
Let us know when it's ready for Alpha testing. Most of us will gladly give it a shot and help iron it out.

...run a country by myself? I suppose it's possible.
Where do I apply for citizenship? Non-resident citizen, as I still need to work to survive

Authoritarianism, duh. It’s a global thing.
You're answering the how, but I'm asking for the why.
-
Ugh, this shit again...
Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?

Financial issues among the general populace due to consolidation of wealth > oligarchs create propaganda that brown people are to blame > uneducated masses vote for authoritarians with empty promises
It's the same program human civilisation has know for millenia

How do these idiots not realize they're just free labor for fascists waiting to take over the surveillance systems they're building? Anyway, good luck preventing people from sending PGP encrypted emails.

No, still required. However, you can have a username of sorts to give to people and block finding you by phone number in the platform.
Ah, that's what I was thinking of then

It's not the EU yet. It's a group of activists from Denmark. There wasn't even preliminary voting on it yet.
Doesn't mean we need to be complacent of course, but so far nothing happened. -

Evil people doing evil things because they’re evil. They want more than they have any right to and are willing to throw everyone else under the bus.

The annoying thing is that some states like Germany pretty much prohibit surveillance of this extend by constitution. It couldn‘t be made any harder for a legislation like this to pass and yet they keep trying.

So, need a non-homicidal, non-EU country to run an XMPP server then...
Or matrix, which I prefer. XMPP has a myriad of issues, and matrix is more modern with a better ecosystem of clients and servers.

They were smart, those oiled fish-eating goatfuckers. So maybe yes, that - and also sortition and ostracism.
oiled-fish
Sun-rotten fish guts even, called Garum. Or nowadays Colatura di Alici, Pissata from Nizza, etc.

Too heavy and bloated, and too centralized in its design philosophy, not to mention big capital flowing through Matrix from Israel and the issues with metadata making it a privacy disaster.
Here's a blog that agrees with me so I don't seem lazy: https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/matrix-vs-xmpp/
I get your blogger's concern over OMEMO versions being out of whack and their encryption choices being all over the place, but other than it being somewhat of a mess, I don't see how it devalues the service as much as he thinks. (a bit melodramatic imo) I've yet to meet someome whos client can't decode my messages or mine theirs and I've never heard of any successful hack, but maybe maybe.

Encryption. Is easy.
you know this means they get the keys, right?

Patrick Breyer with the pirate party is my go to example of why small parties and extraparliamentary opposition is important. 99% of the people don't even know him and he's just doing such an sucessful job of protecting them anyway.

Your OS doesn't, put the messaging apps that your friends/family/coworkers use do.
And no, you can't convince them to switch messager, I tried.

Is the EU not subject to GDPR?

Have you used the gambling addiction and honeypot comparisons?
Or opium smoking in China one?
If somebody makes a functioning NOSTR client similar to Telegram in experience - maybe that will be convenient enough.

Europe should prepare for a major conflict with Russia by 2027, Polish PM Tusk warns - feddit.org
Archived [https://web.archive.org/web/20250727093234/https://fakti.bg/en/world/988957-tusk-europe-and-poland-should-prepare-for-a-major-conflict-with-russia-by-2027] […] The Polish Prime Minister referred to a similar assessment by the head of the US European Command (USEUCOM) and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexis Grinkiewicz, with whom he had spoken shortly before. According to this assessment, by 2027 Russia and China could become strong enough to seek a coordinated confrontation with NATO and the United States. Given the ongoing war in Ukraine, a number of possible scenarios are circulating among Western military experts about when other European countries could also face aggression. Forecasts indicate that this could happen as early as 2027. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius pointed to 2029. […]
