⚠️ Hey #MastoAdmin FYI there is a Mastodon security update apparently coming 6 July.The reason you probably didn't know about it, is because it was only announced* behind a proprietary centralized paywalled garden. (Not Twitter, but the same effect.)Be ready.* This is not a recommended way to run an #OpenSource community.

@downey If only there was an open source decentralized protocol with an easy to use open source client you could use to communicate for free :( sadly shitcord is the only service available in the world

@downey A 48 hour period is pretty imprecise on when they are dropping the fixes....

@LovesTha Don't worry, for the right price, in cash and in your surrendered privacy, you too can be informed of the critical patch availability as it happens!🤑

@downey I don’t know what the security update is, but this is exactly how CVEs work, even in #OpenSource.

@ramsey legit open source communities don't use paywalled proprietary tools to communicate.

@weirdwriter @downeyI think it's a discord only accessible to. Patrons.

@sammy @downey Yeah! That should never happen! Maybe to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe website boy is announcing it to his Patreon supporters before announcing it to the world? But even so, why would you put that security update announcement behind any sort of walled anything?

@weirdwriter @downeyI'm not so big on benefit of the doubt when he keeps doing stupid shit, but as you say information about a *security* update should never be behind a pay wall especially when he's trying to sell mastodon as an alternative to closed walled garden corporate social media.

@jlapoutreIt wasn't until after this post went viral, and multiple days after the paywalled announcement.

@wurzelmann @RATFOOD I shouldn't have to make a post for project leaders to do the right thing.Besides, the fact that there are secret proprietary communication channels like that chat and a secret issue trackers are extremely inappropriate.

@downey fuck discord. I thought the entire point of the fediverse is to end this shitty centralized model we keep seeing everywhere? Rediculous.

@downey @chiefgyk3d did he seriously announce it over Discord? Why don’t we have an email list server a #mastoadmin can sign up to. Most projects relating to infrastructure or Linux have e-mail alerts and we as admins do use our email for moderation anyway. So it just makes sense #Mastodon and E-Mail be primary. #mastoadmin #opensource #infosec #cybersecurity

⚠️ To be clear, a critical update for #MastoAdmin is dropping the same day #Facebook is launching #threads. 🔎 As always, you shouldn't install software updates until you've verified what is changing. Even when (especially when?) you're told it's an emergency.

@chiefgyk3d @downey They "pre-announced" it on Discord with the intention to announce it fully this weekend and then [gestures around] all this happened and they forgot.
