Let us be honest: if Mastodon was not such a complete mess and so hard to setup and administrate, if anyone could install a full server (small instance, up to 10 users top) using a cheap second hand Linux PC and a couple of hours of work, Threads (Meta / Facebook) and others would have no power of the Fediverse.

Think about that for a second.

We are talking in reverential terms about Mastodon, but it should not be the only game in town.

If the new charge model for Twitter/X does make Mastodon hit critical mass, I don't know what will.

They will all go to Threads, Bluesky or some other platform because Mastodon hard.

@FrankauLux @privacy

We are not talking about the same thing: you are talking about phones, I am talking about preventing the installation of security patches.

Defeating the security of one individual phone is one thing, preventing the updates of hundreds, or millions, of services is something else entirely.

@FrankauLux

True, which is why organizations like @privacy exist, and why you should support them.

They do the research and the lobbying. That's worth your support.
