While this isn’t specific to the Fediverse, our privacy & security features are something that differentiates us compared to corporate owned social media.

If you have to break your message up into 13+ posts, maybe you should consider posting to a different platform. Mastodon - and microblogging in general, but specifically Mastodon - is terrible for this type of communication.

The EFF is too big and thus too unflexible to quickly realise that

  • there’s more to the Fediverse than Mastodon
  • in fact, Mastodon itself is more than mastodon.social
  • what else there is in the Fediverse is federated with Mastodon
  • which means that if you join something else than Mastodon, all the same people who follow you on Mastodon can follow you there as well
  • many of Mastodon’s limitations don’t exist in the Fediverse outside Mastodon

I mean, it should give you to think that the official Fediverse representation of the EFF is on mastodon.social. Like they’re still total Fediverse newbies. Like they’ve only just gotten past the “not worth joining the Fediverse, there’s literally nobody there” phase.

I think such organisations should all have a total Fediverse whiz amongst their members who knows the Fediverse outside Mastodon inside-out, and who has significant influence because people in the organisation actually listen to them.

The EFF is in a perfect situation right now: They don’t have their own Fediverse instance. So if they wanted to set up something that isn’t Mastodon, like Friendica or Hubzilla which would be much better for organisations like these, they wouldn’t have to discard and shut down a Mastodon instance of their own, only give up an account on mastodon.social.

Edit: Read it as a blog post instead of 13 mastodon messages
