Anyone recommending a decentralised alternative to Signal and not including any discussion of anonymity sets, metadata leakage, and so on, is just telling me that they have absolutely zero idea of how security and privacy work.
XMPP (and I say this as someone who was involved in standardising it back in the day and wrote two client implementations) is not fit for purpose for a modern threat models. It leaks metadata like a sieve to passive adversaries.
The Fediverse is a fundamentally different problem because it's about public communication and does not aim to provide privacy. A tool for private communication is a completely different problem space.

Anybody talking about anonymity sets, metadata leakage, and so on, without clarifying the #threatModel and actual attack scenario first, should learn about different priorities people might have, when it comes to #security (= #confidentiality, #integrity, #availability)and #digitalSovereignty.
Sure, Signal collects less #metadata than #Jabber, but it has other disadvantages, making it a #NoGo for me:

had to say bye to someone I once loved & respected.
found out they acted in a way that clashed with my values.
realized staying connected meant compromising what i stand for so i told them i was stepping away.
gave them closure, kept my peace.
integrity = honesty + boundaries, even when it costs you a relationship.
IMHO the right people never ask you to trade your values.

I applaud the new #StockholmDeclaration for the reform of academic publishing.
https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.251805
It calls for action on four high-level principles, and makes 34 specific recommendations under those four heads. Here are the four:
"(i) Academia should resume control of publishing using non-profit publishing models (e.g. diamond open-access). (ii) Adjust incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity, in a reputation economy where the gaming of publication numbers and citation metrics distorts the perception of academic excellence. (iii) Implement mechanisms to prevent and detect fake publications and fraud which are independent of publishers. (iv) Draft and implement legislations, regulations and policies to increase publishing quality and integrity."
I just signed it and hope you will too. When you sign, you can weigh in separately on each of the 34 specific recommendations.

As always, @JuliusGoat is a catalyst for reflection.

Moxon on shame, the space we occupy, and how one person can make a big difference through action.
