Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 19:05:33 @torproject once you regain access to it delete it immediately |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 19:08:37 @soop yes, this may have been the sign we've been looking for. :) |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 19:24:59 @torproject @soop Based Tor ๐ซถ |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 20:39:12 @torproject @soop Don't just deactivate it fully delete it. This is your sign ๐ฅฐ |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 21:01:32 @torproject @soop don't delete it. Its important to also reach normal average users in cenxored countries which offen communicate via the Main social media platforms. Thats why your telegram channel and bot are so successful. It helps those being cencored. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 22:00:55 @Life_is_Beautiful @torproject @soop Fascists and people who tolerate Nazis on their platform are not your average users, but I could be wrong. |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 01:55:28 @loptimist @Life_is_Beautiful @torproject @soop the share on X is moving in the you being wrong direction. |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 02:21:11 @loptimist @torproject @soop You have the choice to use Mastodon and not X. Give every user the choice. I checked the the official Torproject X out and literally the first link in their bio is the link to their blueksy profile and then to their mastodon profile. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 22:27:52 Bluesky has >25M users (up from ~3M at the beginning of 2024) and seems like a good alternative to reach "normal average users" alongside Mastodon; it looks and behaves almost exactly like Twitter and is a nice drop-in option for folks who just want convenience. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 22:41:02 @eloquence yea, its cool that more platforms get created to weaken Twitter. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:05:26 I wonder how many more have now heard of Tor ... :) |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:07:48 99% of statistics are made-up on the spot. :) I think a clear posting on the X account about where comms can be found going forward would be more than sufficient. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:32:11 @eloquence @Life_is_Beautiful Twitter does not exist, X is not even public - you need an account to read anything properly. |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 02:35:24 Let's assume you're right that 99% of people have never heard of Mastodon, and let's round down to exactly 8,000,000,000 just to make the math easy. That means 80,000,000 people have heard of Mastodon. That's still way more people than have ever used Tor over the course of a month according to this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1414613/tor-average-daily-users-directly-leading/ Also, and I don't have anything to back this up, but I think most people who use Tor most likely HAVE heard of Mastodon and would have no issue following the Tor Project here instead of X. EDIT: just noticed that that was mean daily users. Point still stands, lol. |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 10:07:10 Bluesky has exceded 30M users by now and seems to have become a no brainer alternative to X. Big caveat: No guarantees that it won't get hijacked / rug-pulled by some billionaire once it gets big enough, but for now it's not evil. I wish Mastodon would fulfill the role that Bluesky does now, but that's an uphill battle for now. Realistically we need both. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:33:30 @Life_is_Beautiful @torproject @soop I agree. Here on #Mastodon, we live in an anti-Musk bubble and it feels like everybody is quitting #X and hating #Tesla while outside the fediverse, this is just not the case. |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 04:38:20 @timbrueckner @Life_is_Beautiful @torproject Are you perhaps trying to say tolerating nazis is supposed to be normal? heck no |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 11:33:41 @soop @timbrueckner @torproject thats obviously not what I am trying to say |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:49:30 @Life_is_Beautiful @torproject @soop I agree. Itโs better to just keep it and reach more people. The reach is more important in my opinion. |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 02:20:46 You have the choice to use Mastodon and not X. Give every user the choice. I checked the the official Torproject X out and literally the first link in their bio is the link to their blueksy profile and then to their mastodon profile. |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 02:24:14 @Life_is_Beautiful @torproject @soop I 100% agree. At @unredacted weโve had many people from countries with a high level of censorship reach out to us through X. Itโs important to be available on popular platforms. Mastodon is great, but thereโs a lot of people that donโt use it. Be where your users are, and lead them to better platforms if possible. Thatโs my opinion. |

Föderation IT Do 30.01.2025 19:24:48 @nickbearded should go without saying, but obviously, we did not launch a Tor coin. |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 01:59:35 @torproject @nickbearded If you did, Iโd invest. Though Iโm not sure how a coin or blockchain could benefit the Tor network. |

Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 20:20:45 @torproject Time to bail. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 20:28:42 I hear February 1 is switch day. It might be best to just shut that damn thing down lock it, hopefully permanently. And then in order to prevent the account from being banned, just leave a link to your website saying you know if you want to follow us jump over here and take a look |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 20:32:39 @torproject I'm *not* saying that the compromised account was an inside job at Twitter because it's run by a Nazi and you make a tool for resisting authoritarians... But I *am* saying that if it turned out to be the case, I would not be surprised in the least. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 20:36:37 @torproject is it x.com itself doing something nefarious. elon musk is bad, but is it this bad. |
Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 20:38:43 @torproject why are you on X which itself is compromised? |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 02:07:31 @torproject Given your high profile, deleting the account might not be a good idea. It's likely some faker will take your handle. But there's nothing that says you have to use it--or even keep your tweets--after you get back access. |
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 03:01:15 @torproject |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 08:34:57 @torproject @jean No worries. We fundamentally donโt trust any project that publishes on Twitter. |
