    That post is pure hysteria. First no one knows when Gabe is going to die, and even if he live very long he may step down due to old age still.

    • also worrying so much about something that may happen 14 years later according to op is unnecessary and distorted thinking.
    • why assume there is going to be a power vacuum? can’t he and his leadership make pans of succession?
    • then believing a whole made-up story going down the rabbit hole of the worst case scenario is again unnecessary and distorted thinking. Is okay to think of worst case scenarios but to take them as if they were real is gifting ourselves anxiety for free.
    • in any case, the mental exercise of thinking of some undesirable possibilities allow us to take precautions and prepare to the extend that is appropriate and reachable. Which would be the most efficient behavior that thwarts “actual fear” as OP writes it.

    • don’t use any screen an hour prior to going to bed.
    • make sure you’re comfortable (temperature, light, sounds, mattress)
    • every night make a list on paper of all the things that worries you both consciously and subconsciously. Don’t know what are your subconscious worries? Speak with a therapist. Deal with whatever thing you need to do before bed, if nothing urgent, then declare to your mind that you will work on them the next day or in the future since your only job right then is to sleep.



  • I use paid Protonmail but never the bridge app since I have no need for it. It make sense for business to hide some features behind a paywall. Almost all do. The reason they don’t need it for Android is because they already offer an app for it. That’s not the case for Desktop. Bridging 😉 to your next point of the other protocols; In tech you often can’t have all 3 - security, privacy, convenience, often 2 of 3. They created a service focused on privacy and security resulting convenience left behind in third place. That’s their business model, that’s what you get and the reason why you use them. If its too inconvenient then their service is probably not for you. They deemed those “established protocols” not compatible with their vision so they needed a workaround to keep your stuff secure and private. Otherwise whats the point if they are going to have such a blatant weak point of failure. If not you then many others will be complaining of the vulnerability that undue the whole point of using their services.




    • For the author or anyone who wants to point out the obvious is for them to propose solutions, or partner with other to seek solutions.
    • For the problem with facebook is: for the people who are not too attached to it is to delete their account asap and seek more healthy social network(s). If you don’t want to delete your account but you don’t engage too much on it anyway then make it more private, and use it less and less while seeking more healthy social network(s). If you are a heavy facebook user that means you don’t value privacy (yours and everybody else), like being bombarded with Ads like a masochist, and already believe or is comfortable with frequent misinformation, and you are part of the problem; in that case I doubt any I say will change your mind, so you do you.
    • As for alternatives there is plenty but I exhort you to look at the fediverse apps. Mastodon and Pixelfed are good starting point.
