@Tutanota

We #DID this through:

★ replacing email service provider to #tutanota
★ changing the OS to #Linux 🐧 , with least prepackaged disros.
★ using @signalapp instead of #WhatsApp.
★ using Telegram & @Mastodon for publication of our content

Currently, we are looking forward for finding ways to support our efforts locally in Iraq to popularize #FOSS for everyone (no matter how much tech experience has)

@IRQL @Tutanota @signalapp
@Mastodon

Sounds like a wise move.

But, I'm surprised you would choose a messaging app that is used by the US Dept of War, recommended for use by the US Dept of Cyber Security and controlled by a single operator who provides intelligence services to the CIA, FBI and NSC and is a financial supporter of Donald Trump, such as Signal.

Can I suggest you consider using Delta Chat instead.

Its very user friendly, encrypted, de-centralised, completely anonymous and you can even manage your own server with it.

I think its a much, much better messaging solution than Signal.

@Tutanota @signalapp @Mastodon

The list is relatively long, like:

* Bitwarden for password generation & storage

* Firefox & Brave for browsing

* Controlling Android's DNS contections

* Disabling Google Apps, e.g., Gmail, Google, Gemini, Drive, Meet ... etc

Definitely, we are moving towards Session & DeltaChat.

And of course, we value wisdom & experience in our project.

Thank you for your note 🙏

@IRQL @Tutanota @signalapp @Mastodon

Great choices.

I use Delta Chat and Session for different needs. Both brilliant at what they do.

As a follow-up to my previous, here is a list of locations you can 'link-in' with that might be safer than a centralised US service, as Signal is.
