The data is said to have come from two previous leaks and includes email addresses, locations and profile data of users of the social media platform.

Anyone know where these files where originally posted?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I would like to know this too but all I see is many variations of the same joke in this comment section.

I was just about to ask. I know that there was a clearnet site for data breaches but that's since been taken by the DOJ.

I imagine there's an onion site but my onion experience is very little to know where to even begin to look. My searches on torch found very little.

In July 2022, Twitter confirmed that someone had exploited the vulnerability before it could be fixed. “After reviewing a sample of the data offered for sale, we confirmed that a malicious party had taken advantage of the problem before it was addressed,” Twitter stated at the time.

Bluesky people why are people still using Twitter? :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Bluesky will be in the same boat given enough time. Mastodon (or other actually federated options) is the only proper stand-in for twitter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

OK but it's not even remotely close today.

I've been on mastodon for 8 years and it's ok but it can't catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

It shouldn't take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

100% agree. The user experience of Mastodon is unappealing for the masses. Bluesky will enshittify for sure, but it's the only real replacement for Twitter nowadays.
