Matt BlazeI will admit I still don't understand what's so offensive about my pointing out the unsafe, confusing semantics of the Mastodon PM mechanism, or why this topic seems to provoke so much anger.
Basically, I have learned nothing from your yelling.
Anyway, while I don't understand why this pisses some people off so much, or why they take my critique of the Mastodon PM semantics so personally, it's now very clear that it does piss some people off quite a bit.
But I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm an expert on security and privacy. And my job is, in large part, to act as a public intellectual. Warning people of dangerous designs that could cause them harm is what I do. If doing so makes me an asshole, so be it.
Jason Woodward@mattblaze some folks, inexplicably, regard any form of criticism as “nonproductive” and “hostile”. Reference the “don’t bring me problems without solutions” crowd.
Thanks for not being one of them, and thanks for your perseverance in the presence of that behavior. I don’t look forward to the seemingly inevitable day it becomes too much to bear.
