Should you leave Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for the fediverse?
Tired of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Skeptical of the metaverse? The non-profit, distributed, community-oriented fediverse might be for you.InfoWorld
At the moment, when you press delete on a Twitter DM (an individual message or conversation) the DM isn't actually deleted from Twitter's servers, just your inbox view.
So people in Europe have been making requests for Twitter to blitz all their messages. It hasn't properly answered them. And now regulators are looking at it

In response, I will be discontinuing all my projects that rely on Twitter's API, and I advise you all to do the same, rather than let him decide their fate.

You don't have until next week.
The casualty is not the FediVerse. The casualty is the people who relied upon free-of-charge #Twitter, directly or indirectly, for everything from authentication to robot-posted pictures of possums. They've lost all of that.
They were always the product, not the customer, of course.

Budoucí hradní mluvčí Markéta Řeháková se brání kritice, podle které bylo její vystupování ve volebním štábu Petra Pavla nedůstojné. Velkou roli v jejím výkonu měla hrát davová euforie z vítězství.Dáša Šamanová (FTV Prima)

Elon Musk’s Biggest Success Story: Convincing People To Try Out An Open, Distributed Social Network

In a new piece, she lays out Elon Musk’s playbook of exploiting workers while building a cult following. These tactics aren’t new. Musk has always been this way, regardless of what former boosters like Kara Swisher want you to believe. They were just happy to ignore it for access while journalists like Lopez did the work.

Elon Musk was always a visionary jerk, bad boss at SpaceX, Tesla. But it won't work at Twitter.
Elon Musk has used the same playbook at all of his companies from Tesla to SpaceX. Sadly for him, his model will cause Twitter to go down in flames.Linette Lopez (Insider)

Hypocrisy and Fear All the Way Down at Twitter
After you’ve drawn such a strong distinction on speech and human freedom, you can’t make any mistake about the side on which you belong.isaac-schorr (Mediaite)
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

I doubt, this is #legal, under EU law at least & find it highly #disturbing, that anybody can create bot accounts referring to others, who are neither aware of this nor authorized this in person.
BIG FLAW!

According to research conducted by @zerforschung, the #Twitter alternative Hive Social has got a number of dangerous #security vulnerabilies.
They allow attackers to completely access and even to partly edit anyone's data, including private posts, deleted direct messages, e-mail addresses and phone numbers signed up with etc.
Once again this demonstrates that you should not rely on closed-source software to guard sensitive data.

I was hoping for some help during my transition from the bird place. Having left that dumpster fire behind and found a very welcoming community here, there's really only one thing I'm missing so far, real-time news feeds.
Is there a tip or trick anyone can share to help increase the stream of information I see?
As a reward, here's a puppy. If you can find him, he's yours.
