I haven't really used Rumble much because they require a phone number to comment. Why the fuck does an internet video hosting site require my phone number?
If one believes there is massive globalist plot to exterminate conservatives and install some form of socialism/fascism, then one should run quickly away from all of these new sites hoovering up our data.
It’s the natural evolution of everything we’ve seen on the internet for 30 years now: Idealist with the drive and vision creates some tech “for the people”. Then, by necessity and greed, they get dollar signs in their eyes and realize our data is worth money.
Any real internet organizing should be done over TOR. Keep a dummy account of FB for the memes or red pills or whatever. But all of these “conservative” social sites are not going to reach beyond the converts, and we shouldn’t actually be doing real organizing on them.
Perhaps. But I am pretty confident that my set up allows me to post in such a way that a dedicated Alphabet agency would have to do at least a bit more work to find me than many others here, and my comment history makes me not exactly a high priority target amongst this userbase, so I’m not too worried, and I didn’t give any identifying information to make the account. Not that I want anyone here to get a knock on the door (well... maybe a few particularly Q-addled members) but I don’t have to have Snowden-level INFOSEC, I just have to have better INFOSEC than most of you.

Because it’s a honeypot?
