Seems unlikely that a creator would jump ship from a platform that pays them to a platform that doesn’t. That being said, lots of creators also constantly complain about demonetization, so maybe they’ll start to get fed up and move to purely in-video sponsorship things. Seems most likely from a creator that’s already on a platform like nebula

You can also just lie about your current salary.

Only if the signal crew collectively fell down, hit their heads and forgot about their whole mission of protecting metadata privacy. Matrix is a privacy nightmare (compared to signal). It offers optional encryption for the actual text of the messages sent, but everything else from room membership lists to reactions are unencrypted and stored forever by the server. The end to end encrypted message feature was bolted on after the rest of the thing was built, and it shows.

We’ve seen https://signal.org/bigbrother/ where signal proudly shows that they don’t have any metadata about their users to turn over. There’s a reason we don’t see anything like this for matrix.

Matrix is good at federating, but fucking horrible at keeping your information safe.

Yeah that claim seems fairly unsubstantiated by the rest of the article. It’s probably bullshit.

The triangular top of the building in the center looks like a play button and I tried to click it several times. I don’t know if that’s the joke or im just stupid

And now you can’t even buy a chromecast workout an always on microphone. It’s like Google is doing a mass advertising campaign that says “please get off our platform and pirate everything, also haha fuck you for ever using our platform”

Reddit doesn’t support image embeds in their markdown, Twitter doesn’t support markdown at all

pro tip: they still leave cookies, even when you "opt out". You're American, you don't have a right to not be tracked. Use Firefox Focus, purge your cookies regularly.

Can’t tell if this didn’t work or mlem just isn’t rendering it right. Also can’t edit or delete.

Edit: used web ui on mobile, made it work

My time to shine

It’s down to 3.5k out, maybe this isn’t as big a deal. Most of QA seems back, and a small part of Magnolia is still out.

This isn’t really specific to federated software. The client can go offline but the server can’t. Same applies to all centralized services. The only place this really applies is for decentralized (as in, no central points) systems, and those tend to have a lot of special sauce to make other people being offline less painful

Encourages users to just add a rotating number or other not too secure thing to their password. I know that’s what I did when I worked somewhere with that dumbfuck policy.

All depends on your definition of “properly secure”. As far as I know, most users do not host their own server

Ok but not external images (I think)

All of the people recommending matrix don’t understand why signal is secure. Matrix offers the same level of end to end encryption as Facebook Messenger, but it’s federated so people who care more about federation than privacy like to misrepresent its safety
