Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use and not and the . He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:

"You can’t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

@tchambers @ricmac @newsmast @pixelfed @julian yeah I think it’d be great if the fediverse added support for login with oauth from one server to another. Many of the things I think the fediverse is missing can be solved, if there is a will.

@dalias @tchambers @ricmac @newsmast @pixelfed @julian uh the fediverse by design lacks any privacy whatsoever. It’s designed to not have privacy. Instance admins have all of your data and no checks on their use. It’s easy to snoop on dm’s and get at ‘private’ accounts. It’s just like living in a place where no locks are allowed. Sure most people knock and don’t go uninvited in to other people’s rooms or houses.

@ianhecht @pluralistic Wellington is the same, 4 apps. And they strongly push you to keep a balance on each one, changing extra if you just pay for what you need each time you park. Do they make their money on the float like Starbucks does?

Vice died the way it lived: being suckered in by smarter predators, even as it trained its own predatory instincts on those more credulous than its own supremely gullible leadership. RIP, we hardly knew ye.

@pluralistic we need to tell this story a thousand times. Especially as Meta seems to have redeemed its reputation.
