  • I literally just thought about this in the shower earlier: What if Muskman is doing all this in revolt against the upcoming | waitlisted | still-in-beta social media platform Bluesky? Someone on Mastodon pointed out that Bluesky can somehow retrieve data from Twitter. So, similar to what Reddit is doing with its API, supposedly to ‘combat’ AI (though their real motivation was to kill third-party apps), maybe Muskman is imposing all these restrictions to cripple the launch of Bluesky. According to what I’ve heard on Mastodon, Bluesky is the next big thing for ‘Twitter influencers,’ and Twitter wouldn’t be Twitter without them.

    Disclaimer: This is a shower thought that I have not fact-checked, and I don’t plan to either. Twitter and Reddit can all go down the drain as far as I’m concerned. I’m fully federated."








  • ICloud. Although, it doesn’t really make any sense if you’re not already somewhat in the “Apple ecosystem”.

    Last I checked it’s e2e encrypted.

    A more general suggestion is probably ProtonDrive or NordLocker. I’ve used both of them in the past but found them slow and clunky, tbf it was some time ago and they were still in beta.
