@f480c8d4 I'd like to interject for a moment.

What you're referring to as #Mastodon is in fact the #Fediverse. You see, Mastodon is just one of many possible software projects that interact with the wider Fediverse through a protocol called #ActivityPub. There are many other projects you can use, Mastodon isn't the only one, nor was it the first. Pretending it is either of those things is doing a huge disservice to all the people who made the Fediverse what it is. Originally, the protocol in use was OStatus and GNU Social was one of the first convenient instances - Mastodon came much later and ended up doing a huge disservice to the Fediverse by intentionally removing support for OStatus abruptly even though the warriors of GNU noted ActivityPub would be implemented within 3-4 months. Thus, the warriors of GNU were not amused by the intentional segregation of the network and the GNU+Jihad on the Fediverse was born - the warriors are interjecting to this day, despite how many people call it "Mastodon" by mistake. 

 Twitter, like all big tech companies today, should be considered a surveillance company.

On Twitter, privacy expectations should be tempered by the reality of surveillance. While users can control some aspects of their account, the platform monitors content, interactions, and user data for various purposes.

 The Nostr is much worse. Relays can harvest data and be sure, they won't inform you about that.
