If you can influence others to do so, use the better app. My family, we use Briar.

I don’t think their goal is stability. It is elimination. And the same would be true if the situation reversed. So either that’s what eventually happens or a bigger power steps in and rules them like children.

One state, immediately in the state of civil war where one side has access to the most money and the best weapons? I gave up on this idea after seeing the effects of this current war. Either one side will eliminate the other or a bigger country will rule both of them as if they are children incapable of running their own lives. Is there a reasonable plan for peace other than these?

I’m pretty sure most of those people are dead.

What’s the solution to lasting peace? Restore rule to the Ottomans or British?

It was about the weaponization of the algorithm whereby China could incite Americans to act against the nation in a time of crisis or war.

I have a little pull in my group of friends. I’ve got 11 kids and I make them use Briar (SMS is removed from the phones) and so their friends end-up getting Briar and then their friends’ parents have also gotten it. So we have a nice little circle of people using it.

Is it possible to skip account creation by installing while not connected to the internet?

I’d consider using them if I didn’t need to use a phone number to register. My friends and family stick with Briar as a result.

IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.
