Private communication apps only work if they have people you want to talk to and Signal is the only one I could get my family to use.

Signal is by far much easier to get family/friends to use than Matrix or Session. Downloaded it to my parents' phones and told them this is how you contact me.
It seems like Apple will publically make the correct decision to protect privacy, but I am more worried what they do behind the scenes with their user data. The Apple TOS is a nightmare.
There's a few third-party apps, with Pixeldroid being the most popular, and their official app is in beta.
I'm pretty excited about Mullvad Browser. It basically became my go to if I am not going to be logging into anything.
I think it was chosen when Firefox mobile didn't have https everywhere for the app yet. The maintainers of the list also take a while to review and update it.
Either way. This would be a win-win for the Fediverse. Allows new people to hear about it and validates Mastadon as an alternative to Twitter and Threads.
It sounds like both Partey and Tierney may stay now. Especially with Timber coming in now, Tierney could get more starts.
Appreciate the transparency. The admin team here is really going above and beyond.
I think you would be better off following hash tags. I discovered so many new follows that way.
I am not sure exactly what the admins need but they do have a Gitub Sponsor to help out with the cost.
