Take a break from Twitter

  • If you use the Tor Browser or the Mullvad Browser you will see the popup of NoScript - because your identity at X can be open to other websites in your web browser. Keep your privacy in mind.

  • You may leave traces without realizing it. The way you write, what you read about and how much, when you are active, etc. Remember, if you are a Monero XMR user, you may not want this at all!

  • Mental hygiene; it feels good not to be at the mercy of the posts there for a while. Try it out!

  • It usually takes up a lot of your time without you doing anything productive.

  • Elon Musk himself is a major disinformation disseminator on his own platform. But many of the posts there are also questionable.

  • X Using Your Tweets to Train Its AI. And even if you have deactivated the artificial intelligence option, the users you interact with probably haven’t deactivated it. Because it was introduced without notifying the users.

    If you are a XMR user for privacy reasons, you shouldn’t even be using Windows as your operating system.

      I would argue you should be pretending not to know about XMR as well and be like „crypto? Huh that’s that thing for drug dealers and other criminals right?“

        Isn’t it obvious? GNU/Linux

        I assume you’re new to Linux? Why not try out beginner friendly distros? Like Fedora, Pop! or even Ubuntu.

        As your DE, since you’re used to Windows, I recommend KDE Plasma. You can also use something like GNOME, but it functions a bit different than how Windows functions.

          @asudox I meant which gnu/linux distro offers high levels of privacy and security?

          ubuntu I don’t like, canonical and its snap violate users’ rights, I prefer and use linux mint
