You will be unsurprised to learn that EFF's decision to leave the site formerly known as Twitter is not popular over on the site formerly known as Twitter.

@evacide not popular as in people on twitter are upset about it?

Honestly I thought whoever was left over there wouldn’t even notice

@evacide To be fair, nothing is popular on x. I've never encountered so many banal contrarians high on cortisol.

@evacide on the other hand, on the network now known as mastodon the decision seems to be fairly well regarded? 🤔

@evacide

I don't like this step too. Twitter is much more important than Bluesky.

Show threadNumerfoltApr 10
@izby @evacide Huh, what leads you to that conclusion?
Afaik there are quite a number of articles about why Twitter isnt worth being on anymore
Show threadSam IzbyApr 10

@Numerfolt

But no one similar article about Bluesky, right? What does that mean?

Show threadNumerfoltApr 10

@izby I havent searched for any articles about Bluesky regarding that question, therefore I dont know.
But from your comment I assume that you basically mean:
Twitter isnt worth being on, but neither is Bluesky. And Bluesky is even less worth being on than Twitter.

Did I get that right?

@evacide It's good that you left that cesspool. I'm a little surprised it took so long.

Musk's Twitter stands against everything the EFF is fighting for, platform neutrality most of all. They abuse the so-called "Community Notes" to push far right propaganda. They give a blue check to every trollbot. Their algorithm sorts comments to put the worst of them first.

At least, so it was when I left. I never actually looked back, but I doubt things are any better now.

@evacide Which goes to show it was the right decision.

@evacide Was that response a general Xitter thing, a whine by the ketamine addict who controls Xitter, or the former caused by the latter?

@evacide EFF? The Electronic Frontier Foundation? Why did you stay? Twitter officially ceased to exist on October 27, 2022.

@evacide

Can't say it's "popular" with me either, because it's 2026 and I stopped caring about folks "discovering" now it might be a good idea to leave.

Show threadHTPC NZApr 10
@evacide oh the ones who says they are not Nazis but hanging out whenever possible in the popular Nazi bar, buying only top shelf, over priced snacks while watching all the ads they serve and feeding its BS generator monster to while its Nazi owner is becoming the first trillionaire... are they still shouting they aren't Nazis from the rooftops? What a surprise.

hard to promote freedom in a place that actively hates freedom

@evacide being upset is a 'them' problem, not a 'me' problem.

Sad, the things people cling to.

If they are standing in a puddle, they should not be upset about wet feet.

@evacide but well done for EFF to explain the reasoning for staying as long as you did and why you still stay on other platforms that individuals are advised to leave.

45 extra minutes of content sounds like a lot, but given how fast AI is shifting the landscape for defense and vuln discovery, it feels necessary. Looking forward to hearing your take on whether the 'defensive' AI is actually keeping pace with the 'offensive' side.
