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.

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 :-)
@mboelen @sandradejong @universityofgroningen > “Tip: voordat je lid wordt van de groep, stel eerst een gebruikersnaam in binnen Signal. Zo kunnen anderen je telefoonnummer niet zien.”
Dat kunnen ze sowieso niet… zover ik weet 🤗
