Reintroduction post!
Since Bluesky picked up millions of users last year, I have neglected Mastodon somewhat. This year, I'm going to make an effort to post and interact more on here too
I'm Matt, a security reporter based in Europe at WIRED. I'm often covering cybercrime, privacy, surveillance internet freedom, and more.
I'm always interested in hearing what we should be covering and keen to focus more this year on security issues in Europe (and the uncoupling of the continent and the US).
I'm also contactable on Signal using: mattburgess.20 and on email on matt_burgess@wired.com
@mattburgess Welcome back

@mattburgess As a Wired subscriber, I am glad you're here, Matt!

@clemens My take at least is something like that Signal, yes, is out of the US; but it's designed such that *this fact is largely inconsequential*. Strong end-to-end encryption without plaintext fallback, reproducible builds, source code available for review and heavily scrutinized by a large variety of people. Yes they do gain access to (fairly minimal) metadata, but so do pretty much all alternatives which are *much* less thorough in their security and privacy stance.
@mkj @clemens I think I agree with mkj here. I think it's hard to overlook Signal being the gold standard and their public position—and leadership—have always been very consistent on what they are building and not building (no desire to integrate AI, etc). They've threatened to leave countries that have proposed to compromise encryption and I don't have any doubt they would take the hard step if required.

@mattburgess nice to see you back here Matt! Feel free to reach out if you want to know things about Mastodon and what we are building in this challenging times
@renchap Thanks Renaud!

There's now a reliable software on the #Fediverse to communicate at the same time on the #activitypub and the #atproto that is called #Wafrn : https://wafrn.net/ -

@mattburgess Good to see you here!

@mattburgess@infosec.exchange If you use both networks, you should consider #Friendica as your access point.
Friendica can serve both networks in one interface, which would certainly suit you.
For details, you can contact @feb@loma.ml@crossgolf_rebel Thanks, I'll take a look! Definitely going to be using both, so open to options to combine everything. I did try Opensea at one point

@mattburgess
I’m really interested in the efforts of European digital rights activists to get rid of the “anti-circumvention” laws. See this great opinion piece in the Guardian by @pluralistic.
#Enshittification #sovereigntechTrump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again

@mattburgess Bluesky isn’t going to last. They facilitate mass harassment campaigns and then punish the victims.

@crossgolf_rebel Thanks, I'll take a look! Definitely going to be using both, so open to options to combine everything. I did try Opensea at one point
I've also seen WAFRN mentioned for bridging both but know nothing about it beyond that
