๐Ÿšจ Our X (Twitter) account has been compromised. We are working to regain access.
Please do not trust or interact with any posts, DMs, or links from our account until further notice.
Stay updated here, on our other socials (๐Ÿฆ‹) and our blog: blog.torproject.org/

@torproject take this as a message from the universe to delete twitter and do better.

Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 19:05:33

@torproject once you regain access to it delete it immediately :neocat_floof:

@soop yes, this may have been the sign we've been looking for. :)

@torproject @soop Don't just deactivate it fully delete it. This is your sign ๐Ÿฅฐ

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 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.
This will lead more X people to these better platforms. If you just delete the account nobody will ever find that lead.
Nobody benefits. Its a lose lose situation.
I am not a fan of X. I don't use it. Just don't use it and then it's not your problem.

Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 22:27:52

@Life_is_Beautiful

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.
Still 99% of citizens have never heard of Mastodon and 95% of the whole population have never heard of bluesky yet even have an account.
80% have heard of Twitter.

Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:05:26

@Life_is_Beautiful @eloquence

I wonder how many more have now heard of Tor ... :)

Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:07:48

@Life_is_Beautiful

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

@Life_is_Beautiful @eloquence

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: statista.com/statistics/141461

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 02:45:38

@Christian_Freiherr_von_Wolff @eloquence
I get what you are trying to say.
Most people who are already using Tor are fine with that. You are right here.
But the mission must always also be to reach more people.

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 10:07:10

@eloquence @Life_is_Beautiful

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 , we live in an anti-Musk bubble and it feels like everybody is quitting and hating while outside the fediverse, this is just not the case.

Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 23:49:30

@Life_is_Beautiful @torproject @soop

I agree. Itโ€™s better to just keep it and reach more people. The reach is more important in my opinion.

@Life_is_Beautiful @torproject @soop

I 100% agree.

At @unredacted weโ€™ve had many people from countries with a high level of censorship reach out to us through X. Itโ€™s important to be available on popular platforms.

Mastodon is great, but thereโ€™s a lot of people that donโ€™t use it. Be where your users are, and lead them to better platforms if possible. Thatโ€™s my opinion.

@nickbearded should go without saying, but obviously, we did not launch a Tor coin.

@torproject

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
speculative:

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?

@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 03:56:46

@torproject why don't you just take the opportunity to delete

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 08:34:57

@torproject @jean No worries. We fundamentally donโ€™t trust any project that publishes on Twitter.
