As if they didn't have access to all the data before

This is basically good advice BUT it would have been equally relevant under Dorsey.

I can't leave Twitter again unless I go back.

What are the odds someone still on Twitter today knows or cares about infosec?

Worth considering that if Twitter ever ends up on the fediverse, the same will apply to any instance it federates with. Lemmy may be great because it's not corporate, but its functionality necessitates that it be one of the least private versions of social media available.

Literally zero chance that Musk ever federates X. He went through so much trouble just to ruin the API, you think he's gonna implement ActivityPub?

Just pointing it out. Lots of people probably would've said the same about FB before. Who knows wtf is going to happen in the next few years.

Worth remembering if you're a wanted fugitive.

I don't think trying to convince people is going to do anything anymore. Everyone who was ever going to leave Twitter already has. Anyone who still uses Twitter after everything that's happened will immediately dismiss this Toot or anyone saying anything resembling it as baseless fearmongering. What's the point?

most people shut it out and go "lol I don't care, it doesn't effect me"
If you explain the effects of late term musk-ism they'll probably care more. Though then again I thought eating pets in Ohio was a joke and here we are...

There’s no reason to have anything older than 12 months on Twitter, just auto delete anything older.

Even 6 months should be good.

If you’re the type who uses Twitter as a blogging platform, grab that shit and self-host it.

Interesting, I remember years of libs ruthlessly mocking right-wing users (and the lefties who agreed) for thinking Twitter and other social media was dangerous. Now all of a sudden we all agree social media is dangerous because the guy who owns one of the services is openly a shill rather than quietly like Dorsey was?

I'm a lefty with a working memory who knows authoritarians are not to be trusted no matter what side they claim to be on. It seems like the most obvious position a person can hold but people are struggling with even this...
