Many people have heard of Tor in the media, but despite its long history of protecting the free internet, most consider it a niche tool and have never ventured to try it themselves.

In reality, Tor is easy to use for anyone. It helps not only journalists and activists, but anybody who seeks greater privacy online or access to information regardless of location.

What is Tor exactly? How can Tor help you? And why is it such an important tool? Staff writer @Em0nM4stodon explains in the latest Privacy Guides article: privacyguides.org/articles/202

I got nothing for Signal. I used my brother's phone number but the 6 digit verification number just doesn't come.. He doesn't even know what Signal app is, so I doubt he used his phone number to sign up.

Guess this isn't the day to meddle with Signal. "No Signal" I guess :(

I'mma stick with SimpleX chat. This and the email. I dunno about Matrix+Element though

I now have SimpleX Chat, lol. Idk I was bored so I set one up!

To anyone interested in hitting me up, spam, negative shit or just normal conversations, here's my address (note I won't be online all the time. I'm dealing with something serious right now)
