@Soweitsogut ich sehe es als problematisch an dass @Bundesregierung weiterhin von #Rechtsextremisten (#Shitter) und #Genozid-Supportern (#NSAbook hat maßgeblich zur Verfolgung der #Rohingya beigetragen) bespielt welche sich nachweislich nicht an #BDSG und #DSGVO halten.

  • Zumal mit social.bund.de bereits eine effektivere, selbst-besessene Lösung existiert!

@riley @foone they already do.

See the #Enshittification of #Shitter and #discord as well as others banning 3rd party clients...

@eaton @foone yes and the sad fact is that #Shitter normalized this.

@eaton @foone Yeah, #Shitter has been on a constant decline since they acquired #TweetDeck solely to cancel their superior #App on #Mobile...

  • And if I had to write a #client for it I'd flatout refuse!

Like: There's not much of a technical reason something similar to @zulip 's #TUI - based client could exist for the aformentioned platfirms:

If people can build #bots for shite like #discord, #Telegram, etc. then why not make an actually good client ???

@FandaSin Obviously that is kinda expected.

I don't expect a single developer with no money and time to maintain this, but at least see some professional option for that.

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)And it's not like people and espechally businesses are unwilling to pay for good tools, cuz not only is HootSuite still around, but @tapbots@tapbots.social, who made the excellent [TweetBot](https://tapbots.com/tweetbot/) nowadays make @ivory@tapbots.social, an excellent #ActivityPub client with focus on #Mastodon that people are willing to pay a #subscription for! - And from what I could see from users who pay for it, they are not just happy, but it also looks and feels better than #TweetDeck in it's golden days... https://tapbots.com/ivory/

1/2 #Musk on nyt sitten perustanut sen uuden puolueen. America Party - Amerikkapuolue.

Onko täällä vielä Muskin läävässä olevia somettajia?

Kuha mietin, että onko siellä tehty havaintoja, onko Muskin ihailjoiden määrä laskenut sen jälkeen, kun Dumpin kanssa tuli bänät?

Että ovatko #MAGA:laiset jättäneet Muskin? Ovatko ensisijaisesti hänen fanboytään olleet pysyneet uskollisina?

4. (Progressive) #Webapps.

While iOS has blocked this feature for years, locking developers to their pricey and walled #AppStore, on Android every Website in your browser can be used like a native app.

#Meta ironically blocks this aggressively, locking Video Playback and more to their App™. Other apps like #GoogleMaps, #TikTok or #Shitter annoy you with popups, but offer often reduced versions like this.

Webapps are WAY more isolated, cannot execute random code and more.
