Four pages of this is fucking absurd, and only some are related to Alunya. I think its time we put of foot down and tell Grace Anon that the booru is not a storage area for them and we will delete anything grace related not related to Alunya/leftypol. It floods the booru and makes it so that you have to go through several pages to browse it for leftypol OC

What structures are in place to make sure that I'm not wasting my time posting on some kind of controlled truman show illusion?

Like, wouldn't it be best practice for the weblord or whatever to post daily stats and analysis of site data and posting patterns? What would be best practice for a anonymous left imageboard in 2022 to make sure important customers like me aren't wasting their time?

Need some reassurance before I can love again.

Why is the Matrix server not end to end encrypted?

Whoever has rights to this room should enable end to end encryption.

I understand that because there are around 300 users in the room at current count you might think that this doesn't give much security but actually it gives more than you think.

First of all if the users are using the public matrix .org server, and then that server is a counterparty and can read all of the messages. Why let them? And the same is true of any other public or semi public server.

And even in the case where it's a law enforcement who for whatever stupid reason wants to see, having them end to end encrypted makes the investigation more costly because they have to find somebody with the key who is willing to share it. That's not hard to do when you got 300 people to go through but it is definitely work and won't get done in an hour, probably has a turn around time around 6 for the feds.

Finally there is the point that ISPs can read all the messages. It's just not smart to leave it off

Interesting points, thanks. I did not know that there was some limitation as to the number of users that you could have within an encrypted group. This makes me think that the implementation that Matrix itself is using is wrong because typically what you want to do is make a single key for the room, and then just encrypt that key, which is itself a private key that gives you access, against all of the users that have access. This way you only have to actually encrypt the messages once, the same as in a small group.

Some systems do rotation as well, for example when users are leaving and joining it might rotate the key either every time that happens or every 10 minutes, whichever takes longer.

 No.25765

>>25756
>>25757

Looking at this page I understand perfectly why it's so difficult, but this doesn't really mean their implementation is wrong, it's just maximally secure which is okay for small groups but not good for large groups as you said.

https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/auth_chain_difference_algorithm.html

And by the way I have no particular security concern. That isn't the point, the point is I don't believe in giving people any more data than they're entitled to, and so I didn't see a reason that all the various counterparties here should get data that they otherwise would not if the option were just how I thought it worked.

Thanks for explaining.

In practice, anyone who isn't a complete retard could get access to the chat. So e2e encryption might even be harmful by giving the impression of offering privacy. Anything you post there and here should be considered public. For 98+% of people, you can call your local FBI agency, NSA, etc, tell them you're a leftist, post on 4pol your address and political affiliations and literally nothing will happen to you.

I still think you should try to be private and secure, but the paranoia is sometimes blown out of proportion.

Kinda a funny point.
Thankfully we've never had an enemy, such as they are, who wasn't an absolute retard. But the possibility shouldn't be disregarded to keep safe.

imo tbh desu leftism works fine as a general descriptor for political ideologies honestly. anti-capitalism is not more accurate, as the other guy pointed out, plus there are capitalists welcome here like sucdems and progressive liberals that aren't class pilled yet. leftism as a general quality is what distinguishes us from other right wing imageboards
