We Joined Mastodon. Here’s What We Learned About Privacy and Security

Com a interferência de Elon Musk na direção do Twitter, milhares de pessoas estão migrando para o Mastodon. A plataforma de código aberto, descentralizada, tem características bastante distintas das do Twitter. A equipe do Markup analisou algumas, como segurança, privacidade, acessibilidade e cultura.

"Each instance has its own policies to define its community, including the default language, content moderation standards, topics, and general house rules. The administrators of your instance will have a lot of control over your content and your account, so depending upon how you are planning on using Mastodon, this choice matters a lot".

"'Direct messages' are essentially posts that are only visible to the sender and any designated recipients. Any users you mention will get tagged into the thread and gain access to the contents of that thread going forward. Unlike Twitter, there is no separate inbox for direct messages on Mastodon. So even though your direct message will only be visible to the users you specifically mention (using their handle), you will see the message on your timeline. An “@” symbol below the message will designate it as a post between users mentioned, whereas an earth icon indicates a post is in public view."
