It looks like I’m moving to Mastodon

Mastodon

Looks like this blew up on Hacker News right after I went to sleep. I would encourage people to read the first paragraph more carefully: > There are many terrible stories emerging about how this went down, but one that particularly struck me was that he laid off the entire accessibility team. For me this feels like a microcosm of the whole situation. That's not me saying "I quit because he fired the accessibility team". That's me saying "There are many terrible stories emerging about how this went down" as a shorthand for how this has been one of the worst-handled layoffs I've ever heard of in my industry - see https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1588517143490199552 And then "For me this feels like a microcosm of the whole situation." - I'm using the accessibility team here as a single representative instance of how I feel about the decisions Elon has been making, but I disagree with practically every other decision he has made in the last 8 days. I'm sorry (OK, not sorry) I didn't write a detailed essay about the many reasons I was leaving Twitter. The goal for my post was to talk about the things I was liking about Mastodon so far. I'd also encourage people to read about the "trust thermocline", which really helped me understand why, at least for me, things were going downhill far too quickly to continue wanting to ride it out and see what happens: https://mastodon.social/@garius/109279394369832433.

Yeah, I'd really like an option for permanent E2EE on all platforms but I trust Telegram with my data. As long as they're not selling it to advertisers and their apps remain FOSS, I'm fine with sharing my data. I also really like Telegram's privacy policy (https://privacyspy.org), which is why I'm okay with cloud side encryption instead of E2E. Every E2EE app that I've tried in the past, has been a UX nightmare and cloud sync is something that's extremely essential to my workflow so Telegram has been a pretty amazing free service.
