Just for you guys to know, a Saudi teacher got death sentence over tweets, cuz it is linked to his identity, and now Elon even wants more specific data from users? People need to give up on Twitter!
Apparently, Elon did not get any lesson from the Saudi man’s death at all. Its so important for people to remain anonymous in the digital world.
Try this, I found people talking about this on Lemmy: https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/wiremin
So I downloaded, and from my experience so far on this decentralized social network, it has the ability to replace Twitter for those who care about privacy and are concerned with data breaches.
The saudi rulers are Elon's friends. There is nothing there for him to learn from.
For real?

No censorship / unable to delete content? What happens when somebody decides to post illegal content like CP? I know that's an easy target, but either it has a way to deal with that, or it's going to attract a very scary crowd, at least as a subset.
Wiremin is closed source. Why would anyone use that over mastodon?
They are not the same.
There's also mastodon and its part of the fediverse
Part of the problem is...people were suspended FOR NO REASON & now their data is not recoverable + they can't delete their accounts.
They (I) are basically trapped.
(unless you live in a country that offers "user protections"...what a concept.)
I can practically hear the EU salivating.
