Why isn’t he posting on fediverse?
Because he wants people to see what he has to say.
It’s a good question. Anyone have answers that aren’t so obviously wrong?
Someone on twitter could ask him. “Unfortunately” I have no account anymore.
He likely doesn’t want to get too involved with social media. Stuff easily consumes you. Twitter is just good to reach out to people, which is kinda bad that Twitter got that big.
Who says he isn’t with a personal/private account and uses the public persona twitter one for the reach. As shitty as twitter is its still the gravitational center for bursting news.
There’s not a lot of people on here.
I’m here
Yeah, I just mean relative to other platforms, there just aren’t many of us.
There’s like five people on here. It’s sometimes scary how often I see the same users.
Hi there
Who the hell are you?
Hey it’s me, user number 6
I like to think I lurk enough to not generally be recognized.
You’re on my radar now 👀
Because it isn’t secure at all?
why does security matter?
Can’t he post over I2P/Freenet?
And Twitter is somehow safer?
Obviously not.
If you’re saying this because Snowden said wait he said on Twitter, I’m sorry but I wouldn’t know. Not because I didn’t try to read the article, I did, but because my custom DNS flagged cointelegraph.com as being malignant and blocked it. True story.
Edit: cointelegraph, not “cointelegram.”
Cointelegraph might not be for someone who is very anti-crypto, but it’s a legit website with well researched articles, not a source of malware/scams/autogenerated spam.
Their custom DNS is very ant-crypto. Janet Yellen is the personal resolver.
It’s a fearmongering website design to scare people into buying crypto.
Their articles that aren’t about crypto get spammed to social media a lot. It’s to get traffic on their site and hope they can hook some.
While I can’t recommend this site for general news, the article in question is pretty well written.
No social media is secure. That’s kind of the point of social media.
Kind of explains why he isn’t posting there then, doesn’t it?
