Twitter has suspended every single API key not belonging to a Twitter Blue subscriber.

Every. Single. Key. 9to5Mac’s? Dead. Apple’s for iMessage previews? Dead.

Every single API key has been revoked. The Twitter API is officially dead.

"What Google is doing is literally following you around with every single online activity you do, collecting that information, & using it to build a profile on you. It’s basically a surveillance machine unlike anything we’ve ever seen in human history." – Proton’s CEO, Andy Yen

🚨 You should know phishing attacks are getting worse.

Our anti-abuse team constantly monitors new attacks and they're getting more sophisticated. There's no other way to put it: it's bad.

Have you ever bought something online, only for your inbox to be inundated? They email you that your cart is full or empty or it's something else. The emails are endless. If you use #SimpleLogin aliases, you can quickly disable them and turn off the noise: https://simplelogin.io/docs/getting-started/block-sender/.

One thing has been crystal clear since I made the Fediverse my home.

The exposition of greed and corruption by the wealthy, the depth of racial, class, fascist and trans problems, the strategies and schemes of predatory marketing, the wrangling of political legislation, the bias of media is front and center.

I for one, prefer to know who is screwing me over and that information is 100x more available on the Fediverse than on any other platform in my experience.

All others are filled with gripy talking points and witticism with a noticeable lack of depth.

Not here. Facts are here. Even perspective and opinion posts are smarter and have factual data to back them up.

We're not going to go without problems. But here they are fewer and taken care of more quickly.

Avoid using popular mental health apps. The Mozilla Foundation found that many of them are “exceptionally creepy” and share personal data. Instead, look for independent tools, backed by research.

The troubling heat in Texas and its ties to climate change in 5 maps
Dan Stillman

Texas is no stranger to searing heat, but the heat wave that arrived last week is becoming exceptional for its intensity and duration. Air temperatures have soared past 100 degrees for multiple days, even exceeding 110 in spots, and the sizzling heat index has reached as high as 125

There are now multiple browser extensions to redirect outgoing links to subs in the threadiverse to your local instance of choice

Kbin Linker Extension
https://github.com/daniel-lxs/kbin-link

Lemmy Linker Extension
https://github.com/FackJox/lemmy-link

This is a major downside to how federation works currently and something we shouldn't need extensions for, but as a stopgap solution I am glad they exist.

[@fediverse #threadiverse]

✨ 1000 users max

Did you know we limit the maximum number of users by default?

We think 1000 users is a healthy instance size, but understand if that doesn't work for you, so you can set your own limit.

Everyone wins with ethical defaults and endless customization. You can also set max caption length, # of photos per albums and much more.

Ethical defaults + Endless customization =

Anti-porn crusaders were behind early efforts to censor the Internet. Now they're back.

Texas has a brand new anti-porn law that clears First Amendment hurdles about as well as a rhinoceros competing in a steeplechase.
