@patrickcmiller Security is tough.
But, there are all these applications that are built to allow non-experts to support expert systems. So many of them just create additional vectors for attack and having most of you staff in the ‘not qualified’ state only means they won’t notice intrusions and unauthorized access issues.
It’s a downward spiral that benefits sloppy code development and good marketing.

@lightweight Haven’t seen the article but it’s happening to regular accounts too, personal account hijack and not one single person at Facebook is there to help. In fact there is no way provided to deal with even reporting it as an issue.

@thomasfuchs I believe this to be a red herring. It is more than just choosing an instance this focus helps trivialize. That 'you have to work at it' may be a better way to describe the problem.

People are addicted to the algorithm(s). It does most of the work for them and delights them with material they like to see with virtually no effort.

Here you have to:
1) Choose an instance
2) Learn a new interface
3) Learn the 3 ways to post (DM, Followers, Public) and remember to use the right one
4) Find people to follow with little search capability
5) Manually cut and paste addresses from profiles on another server to your server to follow
6) Learn and adapt to new social norms (CW/ALT text)
7) A bunch of other things I have forgotten...

So the addiction is so much easier than something that seems like 'work'.

Some portion of this is just tech stuff to solve for, another portion is retraining people to be considerate of themselves and others.
