Any thoughts from others here?
My thoughts are that, it all depends on your thread model I refuse myself as
my main profile "rek2" to isolate even more from society(friends family
etc) when matrix and fediverse even not perfect is def better than any
other of evil ones, is free software and does the job for my thread
model as "rek2" maybe I am already using other super hight thread model services
and nobody knows I been using i2p for 15 years and still nobody even
close friends, nor tech, nor hackers, know my profile there.
If your thread model is hight then yes I agree, but then also if you have a thread model that hight then you should have 5+ differente personas
independent of each other and networks and have profiles with a low thread.
I agree with privacy but I agree more in using free software and decentralization, even if some silly metadata leaks, I do not have a
snowden alike thread, as like an investigation reporter may have, a
hacktivist, a spy, or such, at least not as "rek2" using my regular network.
I am happy with usenet,decentralization,federation,free software, this
is enought for me, but I will never stop anyone from using what their
thread model dictates they should use for their personal opsec, and yet
again, there is a reason maintining diff profiles and making deleting
profiles is an art and part of hacking on itself, not many people knows
how to keep their different personas separated at all levels even the
way you write.
In conclusion: I as rek2 im very willing always to try cool new privacy
tools (and I do) but then is like 5-1O people and myself and isolated
from the people i love and hang out with, so unless matrix actually
"willinly" allows for invasion of privacy as like discord, instagram and
the likes I am ok with that for now.
Happy Hacking
