Fair call. Other people have commented on issues with matrix so I won't dilute the thread by repeating that. I mentioned session as an alternative because it meet the criteria set for the poster by being decentralised. It's also E2EE and routes messages via onion so encourages anonymity.

There are a heap of comparisons available on the different encrypted messaging apps, but they all put different weight on various features which can skew perspectives. Here's one for consideration:

Personally I use signal, matrix and session, and think they all satisfy the requirements for my threat model.

If it's Australian, don't expect strong privacy. But then again, I wouldn't expect that from a US based email provider either.

Thank you for sharing that one. I had never heard of plurality before outside Hollywood, learnt something new today. So fascinating!

I don't think there is anything "militant atheist" in the post you replied to.

I also consider myself a secular humanist, but would never describe myself as religious.

I think that normalising not having a religion would help to bring tolerance for people who have differing opinions, while calling secular humanist a religious view may reinforce a bias in some people that "you can't be good without religion".

I strongly disagree. Atheism is explicit lack of faith.

For all practical purposes, an atheist thinks that without evidence, it's safe to assume that there's no god or gods.

Would you say that you're genuinely completely agnostic in relation to every single religion that has ever existed, even the joke religions (like the flying spaghetti monster, etc)?

If you asked me what my religion is, I would answer that you have already pre-supposed that I have one. Even though I would know what you're actually asking, I would answer that way to bring more popularity to the idea that not having a religion is normal. Yeah I know, I'm fun at parties.

People get very caught up in the definition of atheist and agnostic. It can mean very different things to different people.

Technically atheist is "without belief", and agnostic is "without knowledge".

Way to go, keep it up and you'll get there! 💪
