Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

The official Mastodon app (and most other Fediverse apps) do not collect any data about you.

When you sign up on a Fediverse server, it asks for the minimum amount of information (an email address and a password) and none of this info goes to the app or app makers.

This is in stark contrast to other social networks which seem to collect lots of personal info. See the attached image for a comparison of the privacy policies of various official social network apps.

@[email protected] What's really amazing is that you don't need to use the official app. Unlike Reddit and Twitter/X that have killed off third-party support, the Fediverse can be accessed through numerous apps.

Decentralisation is the future!
