    Yes.

    They literally have and continue to profit from the dismantling of society and malicious psychological manipulation at the scale of billions.

    Twitter too. Arguably without the billions part.

    @maloki I _love_ this idea.

    What are the societal benefits of distributing (and moderating?) content this way?

    Does ActivityPub solve any of the inherent problems of the centralized, for-profit gate keepers, or would it further complicate matters?

    How do we ensure marginalized groups get a safe space and a voice in a distributed ‘open’ network like this?

    On a micro level, what are some effective talking points or methods of convincing regular folks to try ActivityPub/Masto/PixelFed/etc?

    Facebook Messenger still scans all messages, even with end-to-end encryption. Scanning is done locally on the device before text messages are sent and after received messages are decrypted.

    Since the topic of #censorship is going around again, it might be a good time to brush up on a PSA about how censorship and platforms work.

    @glitterwitch @maloki At least one, and I think both of the Chicago ComicCons recently introduced a Quiet Room away from the event floor. The rule is strictly enforced. It's proved very popular way to get a break from the floor.

    @maloki IMO: Telegram is more interesting and has more useful features, depending on what you want to do.

    But IIRC you also have manually set each new conversation to be E2E; it isn't E2E by default.

    As I understand it, Signal is 100% E2E.

    Yo #Mastodon, I took a swing at a post about “reasons to quit Twitter/Facebook and switch to Mastodon.” Mind giving me any feedback? Did I miss anything important? Etc.

    Turns out the customer didn’t have a concept of a right click because of this. They found the setting and tried my original instructions. A whole world of functionality just opened up to them.

    Turns out a supposedly basic feature most of probably take for granted just wasn’t a thing for this customer, and it caused all kinds of confusion and surely frustration. I certainly didn’t know it was possible for right click to be disabled these days.

    Good lesson in tech empathy and perspective.
