Reintroduction post!
Since Bluesky picked up millions of users last year, I have neglected Mastodon somewhat. This year, I'm going to make an effort to post and interact more on here too
I'm Matt, a security reporter based in Europe at WIRED. I'm often covering cybercrime, privacy, surveillance internet freedom, and more.
I'm always interested in hearing what we should be covering and keen to focus more this year on security issues in Europe (and the uncoupling of the continent and the US).
I'm also contactable on Signal using: mattburgess.20 and on email on matt_burgess@wired.com
@mattburgess
I’m really interested in the efforts of European digital rights activists to get rid of the “anti-circumvention” laws. See this great opinion piece in the Guardian by @pluralistic.
#Enshittification #sovereigntechTrump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again

@mattburgess Bluesky isn’t going to last. They facilitate mass harassment campaigns and then punish the victims.

@crossgolf_rebel Thanks, I'll take a look! Definitely going to be using both, so open to options to combine everything. I did try Opensea at one point
I've also seen WAFRN mentioned for bridging both but know nothing about it beyond that

@mattburgess@infosec.exchange That's exactly what Friendica does. We used to be able to post to Twitter and Facebook with it as well.
This should make your work much easier, as you can display both networks in one software and have 1:1 communication without bridges. -

@gbargoud@masto.nyc With Friendica, you don't need bridges; it can handle 1:1 communication, and on BS, no one has to agree to this bridge either.

@mattburgess@infosec.exchangeI meant bridging in terms of communicating with both but as I said I don't know details just a keyword to look into.

@mkj @clemens I think I agree with mkj here. I think it's hard to overlook Signal being the gold standard and their public position—and leadership—have always been very consistent on what they are building and not building (no desire to integrate AI, etc). They've threatened to leave countries that have proposed to compromise encryption and I don't have any doubt they would take the hard step if required.
@mattburgess @mkj @clemens Hi Matt, welcome (back). Is CWTCH (https://docs.cwtch.im/) a viable alternative for WhatsApp and Signal in your opinion?

@mattburgess more stories about the American surveillance state, and the UK's slide along the same path into fascism enabled by it.
Perhaps a push towards reclassification of social media as publishers, making them liable for what they allow to be posted... Because they have proven they have the ability to control what people see, because they manipulate it already.
Until it is made financially unprofitable for them to promote and push hate, lies and extremism they will continue to every control over govts and people.

@mattburgess Hi
For digital freedom and independence from fascist providers, I recommend giving a look to these collectives and co-ops:

@gbargoud@masto.nyc Well, Mastodon needs a bridge that both communication participants have to agree on.
Friendica doesn't need that; it uses the Bluesky protocol.
and a few others 😉

@mattburgess @mkj thanks for the input both of you. I am looking for a way to argue for the safety of Signal to an educated, non-techy, skeptic.
Non-profits turn into for-profits as we've seen. But I suppose the argument with open source + end-to-end encryption might be possible to make. -

But I suppose the argument with open source + end-to-end encryption might be possible to make.@clemens We can only know about what the situation is like now. Signal's greatest asset IMO is their broad adoption (network effects are real) and wide trust, and the latter comes in no small part from their openness and firmness to their principles, alongside strong cryptographic privacy guarantees and the ability of third parties to verify those claims. If the Signal Foundation would start backtracking on that, they can and probably would very quickly lose much of that.

@mattburgess Hi Matt. I'm definitely interested in here more about uncoupling from the US. I don't think there can be many more important topics in tech atm.
Great to see more informed voices on here, too. So (re)welcome. 😊

@mattburgess Respect for keeping in mind that not everyone fleeing Twitter ended up at Bluesky. No shade to those that did—different strokes and all that—but the communities across the fediverse are vibrant.

Well this sucks. We had the social media account for our podcast on horrorhub.club which appears to have shut down. I don't think we have a way to transfer any information and I guess we need to find an instance.

In the countryside, there are rituals that have endured for hundreds of years, unchanged.
This elderly woman, her body bent by time and hard work, walks each day to meet her chickens - who roam freely across a vast open space.
She gathers a few branches and leaves, then returns to fetch the food she’ll give them, to complement what they’ve already foraged in nature.The chickens, friendly and orderly, follow her all the while.
And watching them, I’m reminded of people who are no longer here - people who were part of my life for a long time, who lived those same rituals, even if hundreds of kilometers away.Even as everything around us changes, there are places that never do.
