GEE, I WONDER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES OF REQUIRING PHONE NUMBER REGISTRATION AND HALF-ASSED SECURITY COULD POSSIBLY BE?
Kids, this is why when a service asks you for your phone number, you walk the other way. -
karl (karl@soykaf.com)'s status on Saturday, 30-Jul-2016 17:21:12 UTC karl @sim @rw @neigonemad @panjoozek I've found that a lot of tech "journalists" (among others) seem to deliberately not want to understand Social and the federation. They want to take their shot at dominating the conversation on a single corporate platform. They don't seem to care all that much about encouraging a decentralized platform with a smaller userbase where their SEO tricks won't work.
When they say they want "a better twitter", they don't mean that they want to solve twitter's freedom-of-speech issues with decentralization. They mean that they want to get in on the ground floor of a new centralized corporate platform and establish themselves early on (the "pewdiepie effect"). There's a reason why tech journalists are always hyping every corporate social media platform that comes along. -
