Why are FOSS platforms like Matrix having such a hard time getting users to migrate from Discord? Because of PluralKit.

    Well that’s bullshit.

    Knowing what you post in a public place is public is a much safer situation than believing you are safe while someone sells the data off behind your back

      It’s talking specifically about LGBT people online, who are rightfully less worried about data analytics than targeted harassment. Having a closed space is obviously better for that than a public platform.

        Targeted harassment becomes even easier, you’re just adding the $3 fee to the data broker and now they can correlate it between all your internet accounts.

        Nothing about that situation is safer
