(I've been considering to join Bluesky, but I don't know much about it outside the news about new features, will look into it when I'll have more time)

YouTube going desperate and cracking down on alt frontends took another victim, since Thursday evening (or afternoon?) FreeTube can't play any videos (live stream playback still works):

(Devs said they are working on a fix, hopefully it will work. It would be really sad to see the most feature-rich YouTube client die off...)

Network Security Issues in RedNote

Network Security Issues in RedNote - The Citizen Lab

Our first network security analysis of the popular Chinese social media platform, RedNote, revealed numerous issues with the Android and iOS versions of the app. Most notably, we found that both the Android and iOS versions of RedNote fetch viewed images and videos without any encryption, which enables network eavesdroppers to learn exactly what content users are browsing. We also found a vulnerability in the Android version that enables network attackers to learn the contents of files on users’ devices. We disclosed the vulnerability issues to RedNote, and its vendors NEXTDATA, and MobTech, but did not receive a response from any party. This report underscores the importance of using well-supported encryption implementations, such as transport layer security (TLS). We recommend that users who are highly concerned about network surveillance from any party refrain from using RedNote until these security issues are resolved.

Überraschung: Mit Mozilla Social wird nun doch innerhalb von Mozilla weiter an einer eigenen Mastodon-App gearbeitet.

Just tried out #Mammoth, the new client for #Mastodon by @JPEGuin, The UI is sleek and easy to navigate, and it made using #federatedsocialmedia a breeze. Highly recommend giving it a try https://write.as/mammoth #MastodonApp #SocialMediaApp

An #introductionpost

My name is Eldritch. I'm #nonbinary - specifically #genderfaun - a subset of #genderfluid that experiences masculine and nonbinary genders, but never feminine ones.

My interests are:
#transgenderrights
#theythem
#paganism
#cryptids
#mythology
#cernunnos
#leftism
#anarchocommunist
#ecoactivism
#culturalappropriation
#videogames
#chronicillness
#chronicpain
#fibromyalgia
#adhd
#autism
#chronicfatiguesyndrome
#bipolardisorder
#neisvoid

I run a leftist #pagan group on Facebook called Existential Memes for Leftist Pagan Beans: The Group and a page with the same title, minus the subtitle.

I've wanted a #leftist #socialmediaapp for a long time, so when I found out about Mastodon, I had to join. I'm hoping to get my friends over here, too.

Evening all! Does anyone know or has anyone had any experience with a new decentralised social media known as 'Zion'? There website makes it sound quite intriguing but at the moment it seems to be smartphone only (but with a desktop version coming sometime in Q4). Unfortunately I only use a burner phone.

So if anyone kows anything, could they please get back to me. Many thanks ; )
