       I wish people understood that "exploit found in open-source project" is how open-source projects get MORE, not LESS secure. You do not "make software without vulnerabilities." You fix them when they are found, just like other bugs. "Vulnerability found" does not mean "stop using permanently"Critically, closed-source programs don't even need to be exploited for your information to be at risk. I'd rather my data be in plaintext on Mastodon than quantum-safe encrypted in Facebook's database.

       I just roll my eyes and continue my day when I see people talking about this stuff, though. You'll never convince someone happily using Discord that thinks Matrix is dangerously unsafe, or who uses Facebook but thinks Mastodon is dangerously unsafe.Yeah, they're wrong, but you're not going to fix them. Find something more useful to do.
