First they came for the em dash
And I did not speak out
Because I did not use em dashes
Then they came for the Oxford comma…

This was a great interview! It's reassuring to hear such a sensible, no-nonsense attitude coming from all three of you throughout the interview. That kind of balanced approach (different people are in different places regarding privacy and have different needs) is so needed in the privacy discussion spaces. Thanks for everything you guys do @jonah @thenewoil @FirewallDragons @privacyguides !

This was super fun to record, thanks for having us on Carey! 🧡
Stop by the podcast today for a little #privacy advocate chat ... a panel discussion with @privacyguides (Jonah Aragon) and The New Oil (Nate Bartram). We talk about how we evaluate privacy products, who we want to reach, why privacy matters, and more!

It remains ridiculous that #Mastodon refuses to indicate when a post has more than 4 images.
Fine, be stubborn about limiting the number of images you display in Mastodon itself, but give us a “show more on original site”-type button so people can at least know they exist. #Pixelfed is huge at this point.
