Apparently

If you’re going to ditch twitter for Tribel Social, prepare for your data to be harvested by Omar Rivero, a fraud who collected 800K in donations and didn’t donate a cent to political candidates.

Read Section 2 of the terms of service. The fine print should scare you away from TribelSocial

I mean wtf

T-Cs saying that 😶‍🌫️

personal information, browsing data, contacts, and communications potentially provided to Russian intelligence and information/influence operations elements?

The owners of TribelSocial are the same two brothers who attempted to launch another social media site called Liker

Their site was easily infiltrated and a major data breech occurred giving hackers access to passwords, security questions/answers, and private messages.

@ecksmc

Omar and Rafael Rivero. AKA 'Occupy Democrats'. Also fucking grifters.

@th3j35t3r i had kinda heard of them other than wiki

Occupy Democrats is an American left-wing media outlet built around a Facebook page and corresponding website. Established in 2012, it publishes false information, hyperpartisan content, and clickbait. Wikipedia

Just An extreme leftist website that posts memes for people who are too stupid and lazy to read a newspaper. A lot of their statements are either misleading, ...

tryin to grift

@ecksmc Holy crap - look at the personal info that got out. And Tribel is just as intrusive.

Once again let me pass along advice my mother gave me long ago, before social media: If someone demands personal info that's none of their business, it's your duty to lie to them.

@BrazenlyLiberal @ecksmc
Tend to find, yes, lie in the answers, but kind of build this alter ego profile of a fictious character so you can remember the responses easy should the need arise.

Then, if its compromised, none of your IRL personal details are known.

Main one, is choose an alternative birthdate, as its arbitrary anyway (once your over 18 that is).

@BrazenlyLiberal @ecksmc
It also comes to something, when respectable fully grown adults have a need for fake ID and burner phones just to keep their social media details separate from IRL.

No longer is the joke about the 2nd phone the drug dealers phone, its the social media verification ID code phone.

Finally, a legit use for that 2nd SIM slot.

@ecksmc what i can’t get is that ppl join that mockery of a site are signing up for something called, more or less, “Tribal”. One of the biggest challenges facing society at present is the tribalization of groups fracturing off into their echo chambers of mis/disinformation (see Report, Palmer) and they’re joining the damn thing that has it’s purpose in the name.

@ecksmc @th3j35t3r
I tried repeatedly to delete my Tribel account but I'm able to sign back into it no problem, so I don't see how my account is deleted.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

@KimDerstine

to delete your account in triple tribal app just go to the menu in the bottom right tap on the menu and then tap on account settings and then here you have activate deactivate your account that's the setting and then you just go there and from from there you will be able to do that so yeah hope that was helpful

@th3j35t3r

@ecksmc @th3j35t3r Thanks for your help! I went to the www. and was able to delete. Aside from the security risk you outlined, that place has a lot of other issues. I'm glad to be gone from it and glad to be here. Thanks again. 🤗 🙌

@KimDerstine @ecksmc @th3j35t3r
The other thing you can do prior to delete, if you dont think its a clean delete (ie, no data retention), is amend all your details to a burner email, change your name etc then delete ... so any info that is retained, is invalid by default.

@DoxyMus1c there will always be traces of your posts no matter how much you delete them using built in tools or 3rd party tools

once public on the web it will stay hidden in a dark depth corner till someone finds it

there is NO hiding front the fact most, if not, of these deleting tools just don't work as advertised either the big companies keeps the posts, raw data, or 3rd parties want in on the acting of making you the product

only a few truly delete yer data

@KimDerstine @th3j35t3r

@ecksmc @KimDerstine @th3j35t3r
You should see the fun we had when there was a twitter account that automatically RT'd any tweet a politician deleted.

Having that on follow, was like a gold mine of oh, what they deleting ... oh, right ... umm, thanks for bringing it to our attention by deleting it ... now to forward it to all my friends lol.
