@nelfan Thank you, I'll take a look!

@darren Thanks Darren and cheers for subscribing to our work!

@Sikorsky78 hiya!

@EugestShirley cheers!

@ml thanks for having me!

@mina thanks!

@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

@renchap Thanks Renaud!

@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.

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
