That “yet” is the narrative hook to trick us into feeling like it will soon be trustworthy, and that our assumed suspicions refer to a temporary state of untrustworthiness. Clever girls!

Feels like Bluesky’s federation promise.

I think you can install your own bluseky instance and federated with others.

Never trust any social media sites “private” chat.
Especially not one of the big ones run by weirdo fascists. You know Elmo is going to snoop on anyone relatively famous, or that just say something he doesn’t like.
In all honesty, there’s zero reason to even have accounts on them

Even if the server had zero knowledge of your private keys (which is doubtful), I’m sure the client code won’t have any backdoors. It’s only the social media “platform” owned by the world’s most thin-skinned billionaire.
if (message.contains("elon") || message.contains("musk")) { upload(chat.privateKey) }

Yet? What kind of idiot would imagine that X would or could provide actual secure communication?
popekingjoe@lemmy.world 7 months ago
…yet? How bout just not trusting it at all?

Hah, beat me by 17 seconds!

This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.

If you chat on Xitter you‘re chatting with mecha Hitler.

They keep your private key on their servers.
Then it’s literally not even E2EE, lol

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.

Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don’t believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.

Quick everyone, install this just so that if Pete Hegseth invites people to the next airstrikes chat group, your satirical JD Vance account will be next to the real JD Vance’s account and he’ll probably add you both and figure it out later.
