Why Chose Twitter Over Mastodon?

They said they didnโ€™t have the resources to manage their Mastodon account, yet they can manage 12 other social media accounts ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think we all know that their excuse was a lie.

If everyone was on the fediverse platforms they would only need 1 account instead of 12.

I honestly think it's not that weird. Bluesky is what took off. Doesn't mean it's right, but it makes sense.

Nah, they had more followers on Mastodon than on Bluesky when they left (and even now). It was because they were getting roasted on Mastodon after CEO's comments and other stuff like adding a crypto wallet.

Any mail service that supports PGP encryption at rest, like mailbox, is better than proprietary solutions like Tuta or Proton, as it lets you manage your own encryption key, and use any client you want.

I only understand half of those words, but I am very happy with mailbox.org. So yeah, go PGP!

Senior cyber security architect here: PGP means "puppies get presents"

Also trust at face value everything you read on the internet.

This has sparked me to look at Tuta.

Been using it for 2 year now. At least they allow third party email clients and the service is cheap (1โ‚ฌ/month)

One thing that Proton does better than Tuta - allowing PGP encryption. Like, if you want to send an encrypted Message with Tuta, to someone who doesn't have a Tuta account, it needs to be a link and a password.

The idea of E-Mail is that it should be as vendor agnostic as possible. Tuta has a walled garden vibe. Securely e2e with other tuta users, but unencrypted with pretty much everyone else.

Though it also took quite a while for Proton Mail to integrate PGP properly.

Proton was born out of a desire to build an internet that puts people before profits, create a world where everyone is in control of their digital lives, and make digital freedom a reality.
