     @arstechnica I'd rather not trust a centralized app from the same person who sold out Whatsapp users to the Zuckerborg over XMPP anyway.

     @arstechnica I’m Saeed from Gaza. War has destroyed my dreams, leaving me homeless and hungry. I sleep in the streets, struggling to find food and safety. I go hours without eating and barely have clothes to wear. Any help, even a little, can make a huge difference. Please, with your compassion, help me stand on my feet again. Your kindness can give me shelter and food. Save me. 🥹💔

     @arstechnica this is the downfall of the democracy JD Vance was talking about in the Munich Security Conference. It is just that he meant the wrong continent.

     > Musk has history with the leading secure messenger Signal. Back in 2021, he caused something of a stir when he tweeted “Use Signal.”

     > So, it’s a huge surprise to see him suddenly shift the other way—and yet here we are. Musk has just posted to his 182 million followers: “There are known vulnerabilities with Signal that are not being addressed. Seems odd...”

     These guys blocked #Mastodon! Nuff said!

     > Twitter/X has previously blocked or restricted links to outside services. Twitter briefly banned all links to Instagram, the federated service Mastodon, and other platforms in mid-December 2022, only to reverse its policy less than 48 hours later. In April 2023, ahead of Substack debuting a "Notes" feature allowing for short posts from creators, Twitter blocked links to Substack, and again undid the change after pushback from users.
