That is right, Alex. When I saw this needs dedicated spyware app, no browser possible I gave it lowest prio. Pls prepare a PM with the person to do handover with.
Note: For HTC official artwork I highly prefer the brand new, splendid and decentralized (ActivityPub) pixelfed.org (and our humanetech on pixelfed.social).
A very big disadvantage of this choice is openness and possible vendor lock-in!! You are imho too casually introducing a new tool. Yet one more account to create, external url to manage and train yourself in to truly be an āintegratedā participant.
For now it is fine, but I will not create an account there yet, so Iāll miss out on this fun. Also remember OL7 team, how chaotic and confusing Mozilla have their tools arranged.
Letās please avoid that at all cost. All you do now will be wasted maintenance - truly boring stuff - later!
Personally I think that having so many Community Team members spending time on these general topics is an example of getting priorities wrong. Reorganisation planning first, Iād say. Donāt build pyramids without a plan, or failure is on your path for sure.
Weāve had this discussion and we need to be where the target audience is. I even check Instagram via the web only and have never ever posted and have never installed the app. Instagram is more valuable than Facebook these days, so it would be shortsighted not to try to alert its users to the dangers they face and possibly try to call them to collective action.
Being on Instagram, posts could be about the dangers of being on Instagram and Facebook and collective action.
As to the login credentials, I think these ideally will never have to be in the hands of just one person. But obviously one of the people Siddhi and whoever else is interested. Not me I do not dedicate enough time.
Yes unfortunately I think we have many quiet disagreements on how to reorganise the forums. The recent change in community structure has made it harder to come to a shared vision. With a new community structure there is also the chance of coming to different decisions. Again Iāll bring up the need for a core team (not including myself as I think the members should be mostly non-geek types) and this core team of 3-5 people is needed to actually decide things while working in open collaboration with the entire community.
Yes, and that is my fault, and I apologize. I was too rash for various reasons, but things are really moving now, just need some first plans as guiderails and some grease.
I agree with @sidnya and @Free, we need to convey our messages on the most used platforms, otherwise our impact is minimum.
Sorry, this thread is getting to long for me to entirely catch up. But as I see it you can find lotsa information from studying Dark Patterns, like on darkpatterns.org and the related Dark Patterns Twitter account (where many more examples pass the feeds, without being recorded on the website).
