@mellifluousbox Thank you for clarifying, good to know you are looking into it.
Love Mastodon <3
@mellifluousbox …wondeful, 3 American payment processors listed, of which 1 is a Big Tech company 🤦🏼‍♂️

The problem with Meta’s business model is that they’re beholden to shareholders, not their community. We are not publicly traded, we are publicly FUNDED.

Mastodon has no incentive to keep you addicted. Our incentive is to make you happy, and help you build friendships, because it’s the right thing to do for you, and it's the right thing to do for humanity.

Beware Apple is pulling their "Auto Update" default BS on 26.4. Watch what you click!

Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background.

If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it.

We first reported this bug to Google in September 2025.

Others like @mullvadnet and Wireguard reported it even earlier, in August.

Google's response? "I don't see anything unusual."

Here's what's actually happening ⤵️

End-to-End Encryption is good but metadata protection counts as much. Names, group descriptions and memberships, avatars, who talks to whom ...

Both #deltachat and #signal go to great length to protect all the metadata that WhatsApp grants itself gratuitously. #Matrix stores similar scales of metadata on their servers, even if you can choose which server stores it.

Everything is better than #Telegram which additionally stores message contents in all group chats/channels and most 1:1 chats.

@mboelen Ja, het is de standaard instelling…: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/6829998083994-Phone-Number-Privacy-and-Usernames-Deeper-Dive

De gebruikersnaam is daarnaast qua privacy wel heel goed natuurlijk, zo kun je een chat met mensen initiëren zonder je telefoonnummer te delen.

PS. Zou je mij willen toevoegen aan de groep? Interessant om te volgen :-)

Phone Number Privacy and Usernames: Deeper Dive

Signal makes it possible for you to keep your phone number private from people you chat with on Signal. Here we will cover phone number privacy settings and how to use usernames as a way to connect...

Dat kunnen ze sowieso niet… zover ik weet 🤗
