Reintroduction post!
Since Bluesky picked up millions of users last year, I have neglected Mastodon somewhat. This year, I'm going to make an effort to post and interact more on here too
I'm Matt, a security reporter based in Europe at WIRED. I'm often covering cybercrime, privacy, surveillance internet freedom, and more.
I'm always interested in hearing what we should be covering and keen to focus more this year on security issues in Europe (and the uncoupling of the continent and the US).
I'm also contactable on Signal using: mattburgess.20 and on email on matt_burgess@wired.com
@mattburgess Good to see you here!

@mattburgess@infosec.exchange If you use both networks, you should consider #Friendica as your access point.
Friendica can serve both networks in one interface, which would certainly suit you.
For details, you can contact @feb@loma.ml@crossgolf_rebel Thanks, I'll take a look! Definitely going to be using both, so open to options to combine everything. I did try Opensea at one point

@mattburgess
There's now a reliable software on the #Fediverse to communicate at the same time on the #activitypub and the #atproto that is called #Wafrn : https://wafrn.net/@nelfan Thank you, I'll take a look!

@mattburgess
I’m really interested in the efforts of European digital rights activists to get rid of the “anti-circumvention” laws. See this great opinion piece in the Guardian by @pluralistic.
#Enshittification #sovereigntechTrump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again
Trump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again | Cory Doctorow
The US president is weaponising tech, but his tariffs and Brexit provide a surprising opportunity to gain back digital control of our lives, says science fiction author, activist and journalist Cory Doctorow

@mattburgess Bluesky isn’t going to last. They facilitate mass harassment campaigns and then punish the victims.

@crossgolf_rebel Thanks, I'll take a look! Definitely going to be using both, so open to options to combine everything. I did try Opensea at one point
I've also seen WAFRN mentioned for bridging both but know nothing about it beyond that

@mattburgess@infosec.exchange That's exactly what Friendica does. We used to be able to post to Twitter and Facebook with it as well.
This should make your work much easier, as you can display both networks in one software and have 1:1 communication without bridges. -

@gbargoud@masto.nyc With Friendica, you don't need bridges; it can handle 1:1 communication, and on BS, no one has to agree to this bridge either.

@mattburgess@infosec.exchangeI meant bridging in terms of communicating with both but as I said I don't know details just a keyword to look into.

@mkj @clemens I think I agree with mkj here. I think it's hard to overlook Signal being the gold standard and their public position—and leadership—have always been very consistent on what they are building and not building (no desire to integrate AI, etc). They've threatened to leave countries that have proposed to compromise encryption and I don't have any doubt they would take the hard step if required.
@mattburgess @mkj @clemens Hi Matt, welcome (back). Is CWTCH (https://docs.cwtch.im/) a viable alternative for WhatsApp and Signal in your opinion?

@mattburgess more stories about the American surveillance state, and the UK's slide along the same path into fascism enabled by it.
Perhaps a push towards reclassification of social media as publishers, making them liable for what they allow to be posted... Because they have proven they have the ability to control what people see, because they manipulate it already.
Until it is made financially unprofitable for them to promote and push hate, lies and extremism they will continue to every control over govts and people.
