Twitter's new encrypted DM system stores your private key material on Twitter-owned services, protected with nothing more than a 4-digit PIN. If hostile, or if legally compelled to, Twitter could easily decrypt all your messages. It's also MITMable and doesn't secure metadata. Use Signal.

Good morning Fedi friends! This is a routine reminder that #YunoHost is still doing a fundraising drive to cover its operating costs for 2025. They’re super close to the finish line and need a little push: https://yunohost.org/donate.en.html

If you could afford to donate to their efforts, any euro / dollar / yen counts.

Thank you! 🙏
