-# Rant #5 -- Privacy and security - Communities and websites

-I think it was about fucking time to express why I dislike those kind of things.
-
-#Their recommendations
-
-Literally most if not all the things they recommend are inherently wrong. 
-Some examples :
-
-* Matrix for decentralized messaging
-	* Literally wrong, your best bet is XMPP
-
-* Cloudflare DNS for avoiding Google's DNS (are you kidding me?) 
-	* e.g. this appeared on PrivacyTools' website
-
-* Using a certain model of smartphones (Google's Pixel phones with some Android spin-off)
-	* Your best option is to not to use one at all, you can't be private on those devices.
-
-* Using Firefox and/or Chromium
-	* Just abandon the modern web at that point, seriously, those two are trash.
-
-* Using dubious-at-best email providers
-	* e.g. ProtonMail, Tutanota, CTemplar. Neither of the three respect any standard at all, and the clients are webshit *only* accesible through a browser, and they don't allow the user to use a sane email client.
-	* Come on, some of the corporate ones even do allow an user to do so, though it's tricky as heck.
-
-* Using a somewhat less bloated Windows system
-	* You'll go insane trying to remove spyware on it since the OS itself is spyware. You can't be saved, unless you use a sane OS.

-#Communities
-
-I was moderator of one in Telegram, and I also was a participant on some other ones on Matrix. 
-I had really painful experiences in both, and just wanted to never again join any of those rooms. 
-When for example I've recommended XMPP many times on those rooms, I always got turned down by some Matrix shill, and attacking me with 'ad hominem', what was the response of the admins/mods there? 
-Nothing, they just keep it going. Only for me to end up going mad.
-
-#Websites
-
-Modern web is bad, seriously. Why in the name of fuck you use JavaScript on your website?
-Why do you need TONS of those shit only to show some content?
-e.g. Techlore's website doesn't load on a sane browser[1] like NetSurf, or text-based browsers.
-As for PrivacyTools (now PrivacyGuides since it changed name) it abuses of a pseudo web standard known as HTML5 which of course it won't work on sane browsers.
-
-
-I guess this is all for now, i'll give you some advice, *always* do your own research, don't follow anything blindly without knowing about it, and , most importantly, be conscious of what you're doing.
-
-Stay safe!
-
-[1] Well it loads, but the end result ends up being unusable, anyway.
