    If you want a super secure platform for private communication use Matrix for fucks sake, this is a media aggregator and social network.

    Use the appropriate tools for the appropriate use-cases.

    Everything on Mastodon gets publicly posted. Like, what even is this?

    Security and accessibility are always at odds with each other.

    You don’t increase security and safety and also increase accessibility. No, by increasing security, you have decreased accessibility.

    Security and accessibility are a balance. If it’s easily accessible, it’s not secure, if it’s secure, it’s not easily accessible.

        s/you/one/ I don’t think it’s really about YOU in particular, just “you” the author or “one that is saying things like this.”

        Another example, “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime” isn’t about “you” it’s about the concept of “an individual (that might be the reader).” This phrasing seems to be more agreeable with some people and possibly there’s different tolerances geographically.

        I’ve tried to use “one” in place of “you” to remove this ambiguity but it’s at times uncomfortable to type lol
