Signal is private, what you should differentiate is being anonymous or not. Using your usual phone number is NOT Anonymous but is PRIVATE, as in the content of your messages being only available to you and the person you’re talking to

The way you get a phone number depends on you too, so you can be very much be Anonymous even if signal requires a phone number.

Fascist don’t invade spaces, more so, the thing I’m seeing commonly are angry people calling normal people “fascists”, so then can kick them out of projects or groups because “screw them, they’re fascists! so we fuck them over until they are no longer involved or present!, because we are good and they are bad”

Again, fuck TRUE fascists, but I’m still waiting for arguments on what makes NixOS a Fascist Project

What that user pointed out is, that it has “ties to a fascist company”. But in my opinion;

• A government can have ties to a communist leader or organization, and still not be a communist government.

• A project can have ties to an anarchist and that still won’t make the project be anarchist.

• But if a project has ties to a fascist company the project itself turns fascist?

Pd. I asked for more info because if ties to a company make you fascist, at least the user who commented that should have very good arguments to dictate if NixOS is fascist based on what they know.

That’s like saying, “A community in lemmy has lots of users that come from X anarchist instance, so that Community must now be anarchist!”

What makes that company fascist? I don’t know it

You can call the projects all sorts of things, directionless, messy, bad, underwhelming

But fascist? Come on, not everything that you dislike = fascism

Fascism is not good, but less use the term accurately

Yes, and their donations are limited to 100k a year per corporation/organization, so there cant be a company who comes, donates 20million and then tries to gain control of them through money
