The illusion of privacy fostered by \@Apple is extremely powerful, but also extremely false. They collect tons of data on users, including backups of messages that people believe to be end-to-end encrypted. Apple should #MakeDMsSafe http://makedmssafe.com

This article on what the author calls the "antiviral" design of Mastodon is a good explanation of why Mastodon feels different from Twitter, and why, if you're looking for a 1:1 Twitter replacement, Mastodon might not be what you're looking for.

@taylorlorenz I had a discussion about this before. Disabled people were asked to put disability topics under a CW which got me outrageous.
Then there was a suggestion disabled people should join one instance and make it CW by default not understanding the main problem that disability is not and should not be CW.

hi \@elonmusk just checking on this. any update on when Twitter will encrypt DMs? free speech advocates around the world would like to know...

QT elonmusk: Twitter DMs should have end to end encryption like Signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages

With the way things are, Twitter might not have any security people on staff soon. If you're using "login with Twitter" as a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for some websites/services, I'd be worried if I were you. If you can switch to a different authentication method then do it and purge the authentication tokens/sessions.

If you think we can relax now because democracy survived the midterms, then you’re not paying attention.

Musk’s takeover of Twitter is essentially a social media Brexit: much promised, nothing or just chaos delivered, no one happy, and those who opposed left trying to find their place in new and confusing world.

I keep being delighted, over and over, by how much the fediverse feels like the early days of the bird site in so many good ways ❤️ #meta
