How to Use Mastodon, the Social-Media Platform Blocked by Elon Musk’s Twitter

Mastodon could be the future of social media—if you can figure it out

Wall Street Journal

@danielhep Cool, but I'm disappointed that people are still reporting that Mastodon's direct-messaging feature is unsafe when Twitter DMs aren't end-to-end encrypted either. Mastodon is just more honest than Twitter about where it can still improve.

It really disturbs me how insufficient research leads to those honest being punished for being honest while those who just scoff off the risks get treated as if they're more secure.

I kindly emailed Joanna, let's hope she reads it and responds :)
