Twitter rival Spoutible alleges smear campaign amid security breach controversy
- BandButcher 3y agoYea not sure who approved the PRs that got merged exposing those auth fields... Its not really a data breach like the CEO claims but simply their in house API that exposes auth fields for any and all users. Either this was done intentionally by a employee, a huge oversight in a code review, or possibly a junior engineer's poc that got pushed to prod by mistake

- armchairhacker 3y ago"Twitter rivals" I'm aware of so far: - Mastodon - Bluesky - Farcaster - Threads (And that's ignoring social networks which don't have the short-form format Twitter does, e.g. Lemmy, Kbin, Discuit). And now, Spoutible. 1. Why would someone choose Spoutible over another competitor like Bluesky? 2. A lot of these smaller networks should federate.
