On topic, but a side note…this is how come my trust in privacyguides.com tanked a few weeks ago. They fully support X and actually recommend using it. It’s a bunch of sloppy children running that site.
Yeah, I’m pressing X to doubt on this one because the website still only recommends Mastodon and Element, and the page literally talks about why federation and decentralized social media is vital to privacy and anti-censorship. They even have people in the forums talking about twitter frontends so you don’t have to actually go to the site. They even purposely try to avoid promoting their accounts on centralized media, the footer of every page only shows Mastodon, Matrix, Peertube, and Bluesky.

It’s privacyguides.ORG btw. Are you thinking of privacytools.io?
I’m talking about the site I wrote about but had the .com wrong. I was an active member there, and had it out with Jonah about X
Source?
I am a former member and had the discussion with the guys in charge over this.
So where do they actually recommend people to use twitter?
Is this just a private conversation you had with someone from their org?
It was a public conversation I had on their forum.
Can you link the privacyguides article? I used to rely on them quite a bit, so this would be disappointing to me. The only recommendations i found for social media are mastodon and element https://www.privacyguides.org/en/social-networks/#posting-content
It’s not an official recommendation from them. They post a lot about how there is nothing wrong with X on their forum.
