> Cloning someone's SIM

Yeah I don't trust SMS either, that's why I said email. You can do a lot more to protect your email account than your phone number.

It's very disconcerting to think about how many malicious apps like that must exist in the Play Store, but again, gaining access to someone's Google account is still game over if that's how you're syncing passkeys.

> Emails are super easy to hack

Source? And if somebody hacks my Gmail account, won't they be able to access my Google-synced passkeys?

Magic link auth isn't any less secure than any site that has a password-reset flow.

Microsoft Bob wasn't wrong, it was just early.

My initial suspicion was that my account was flagged because I only used the web version (the PWA experience on mobile is pretty good) so I've been using the Android app the last few days, and I'll see if that has any signal on my account.

In another view days I'll try filing a support ticket, maybe claiming something like "I was mass-reported by DSA leftists for my right-wing views"; things along those lines have gotten some peoples' permanent suspensions lifted.

I haven't left because there are still circles of people I follow that haven't bailed. Once a large enough majority move to Bluesky, I'll start browsing that app more.

On the other hand, I might start posting on Bluesky more because as of a week ago, I'm shadowbanned on X. I know people throw that term around, but nobody on the site can see any of my reply tweets, even me (unless I scroll my account's 'replies' tab); people who've followed me for years are asking why their tweet has a ghost reply.

I don't think X has that much of an incentive to filter out bots while keeping around accounts like me (200 followers, will never pay for Premium). The slightly higher effort bots that glaze tech CEOs will be basically indistinguishable from the real people glazing tech CEOs because they're wannabe founders trying to network/cloutfarm. And that style of dead internet is fine with Elon.
