Session runs on a decentralised network of community-run nodes, meaning:

- It can't be easily censored.
- It can't be taken down, even by us.
- It can't hand over your data, even to us.

Most private messengers require trust. We aren't like most private messengers.

How Basecamp Blew Up

Signal tried to use Instagram ads to display the data Facebook collects about you and sells access to.

Facebook wasn't into the idea, and shut down their account instead: https://signal.org/blog/the-instagram-ads-you-will-never-see/

Frustration reigns when the "latest posts" nature of social media leads new users to ask the same questions over and over again.

There are no "stickies", no golden reserves of hard-earned community knowledge. Everything must be repeated ad nauseum, or risk being lost forever.

GitHub Pages "blocks" Google's FLoC now by adding the opt-out header.

I don't think this is any reason to celebrate. #Google pulled two tricks here:

1. It identified all websites that are against this standard, making it easy to rank them worse.
2. Provided a technical solution to a social problem making all the tech elitist feel good by adding a header instead of protesting.

All in all, I feel this header legitimises the standard more and more "because you can opt-out". #FLoC #privacy
