Hear me out: Decentralized dating!

SO would you rather meet someone on
OR thru a (mainstream) dating app?
Why? 💕

Question emerged from my mulling over @Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: post on Sept. 20, 2025:
"Dating? In this tech-bro-mass-surveillance-AI-powered-dystopian-climate-change-overheated-capitalist-fascist economy?"

OG post at infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon

2 little birds lovingly snuggled together. The one on the left looks like they are kissing the smaller one on the right

Dear beloved: For real though, here's why I think will work wonders

1. Privacy-first : no data harvesting your intimate preferences
2. Community-curated connections (no algorithm manipulation)
3. Values-based matching: find people who actually share your ethics
4. No venture capital pressure to keep you single and swiping

Question is: How can I bridge the gap between "decentralization is good but how do we actually find love here?"

Which brings up further questions like
1. Can we build romance outside of Big Tech? (i hope so!)
2. Is love possible in the time of Surveillance Capitalism?
3. Would people read my D3: Decentralized Dating Diaries aka my journey calling in love on Fedi, LOL

Until then, I be seeing my perfect partner in my dreams. Zzz. Gnite, you cutie xoxo

Your Fediverse Dating Firestarter Patootie,
Crissy 9.25.25

adorable birb couple. The one of the left is grooming (or kissing, depending how you see it) the birb on the right. sho cute!

여성 성범죄자야 당연히 존재하겠지만 키워드랍시고 적어 둔 게 '남고딩 몸매'라는 점에서도 얼마나 성의 없이 남성 성범죄자의 행동을 기반으로 성별 단어만 바꿔 놨는지가 보여서 웃음이 난다. 사실 이 문제에서 여성 성범죄자가 실존하는지 아닌지는 중요하지도 않다. 애초에 저런 공익 광고가 만들어지게 된 이유 자체가 '남성들의 집단적인 디지털 성폭력'이었으니까. 1000명의 남성 성범죄자 대신 1명의 여성 성범죄자를 디지털 성폭력범의 대표로 소환하는 것처럼 역겨운 일이 또 있을까. 우롱이고 저열함의 극치다.

A couple weeks ago there was a post from someone talking about how they used for municipal and governmental org projects. And not because of its safety features, but because you can ship and deploy using a single binary so the hosting complexity is so low.

Anyone know what I'm referring to? I can't find the post.

The latest episode of our
This Week in Privacy podcast was truly one of the best so far!

SO many interesting conversations about privacy news between @jonahJonah Aragon , @jwJordan Warne , and @kevphamKev .

I know I work there, but I still listen to it in my free time, as a fan (I'm not part of it).

I highly recommend privacyguides.org/livestreams/ :ablobcatheadphones:

AND there's another one streaming live today (Friday), starting at 9pm UTC (5pm EDT)!

We also have a RSS feed and federated Castopod instance for it here: fm.neat.tube/@thisweekinprivacy
