#Fediverse # FOSDEM
Wordpress does certainly not guarantee an influx of developers competent enough to build a social network that brings the needed privacy features.
Encryption of private messages? Encryption of user data?
Mastodon does not do that and currently people are creating a giant privacy problem for all Fediverse users. But Wordpress will bring another level of security problems on top of that, this is begging for disaster.
Excited to see WordPress still using the @FediverseSymbol throughout the interface
Next up is @andypiper and @haubles talking about @Mastodon's vision
@liaizon @andypiper @haubles @Mastodon
Did he use the words "encryption" or "privacy"?
@liaizon @andypiper @haubles @Mastodon are there video recordings to watch if weren't there!
@leanderlindahl yes see https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/HJYRFF-tending-the-herd/ for the livestream and they will post individual talk recordings when the streams are split into sessions
@leanderlindahl yes and it's also being livestreamed!
@andypiper: "mastodon is part of a movement" "it is part of the fediverse"
@haubles just dropped the massive news that Mastodon is going to be changing the default signup flow on mobile apps to choose an instance thats geographically close to you instead of choosing mastodon.social by default!
UPDATE: their official announcement here: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115989801184595302
