We heard you. We don’t always get it right, but we’re always trying to do better — so we’re thinking about ways to prevent targeted abuse from Lists and give you more control.

Feedback on these early concepts wanted! 🧵

Privacy is one of those things everyone wants, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all. Very early concepts in 🧵are ways I’m exploring to make Twitter healthier. These are just ideas and not being built (yet?), so your feedback is helpful!
Replies If you have a protected account and reply to someone who isn’t following you, you may not know they can’t see your reply. So I dropped in a reminder 👇🏼 And what do you think about making it easier to switch to Public if you DO want them to see your reply? (ID in reply)
Account breadcrumbs Have multiple accounts? I want to make it simpler for you to know which account you’re Tweeting from. Switching accounts today is doable but not obvious. This makes it clearer and puts your avatar, name, handle, and privacy status all in one visible place.
Privacy sets We've found lots of people don't know about all the conversation control and discoverability settings available to them — so how about a check-in that lets you pick among various groups of settings depending on your needs? (ID in replies)

Ever want to Tweet, but not to everybody? We're exploring a bunch of ways to control who can see your Tweets. Here are two early ideas (we’re not building these yet). I’d love your feedback! 🧵⬇️
We hear y'all, toggling your Tweets from public to protected, juggling alt accounts. It could be simpler to talk to who you want, when you want. With Trusted Friends, you could Tweet to a group of your choosing. Perhaps you could also see trusted friends' Tweets first.
Here's another approach, embracing an obvious truth: we’re different people in different contexts (w/ friends, fam, work, public) Facets, an early idea, lets you Tweet from distinct personas within 1 acct. Others can follow the whole acct … or just Facets they're interested in.

The opportunity for next decade is to progress creators into becoming creator-owners (and for all workers to become worker-owners).

Only then can creator enablement not just be a marketing campaign, but woven into the fabric of how platforms are designed.

Big Technology recently hit 10,000 subscribers (!) so it’s time to release our full sponsorship deck to the public. Why read? - You're curious about how the Substack/newsletter ad business works - You're interested in sponsoring (DMs are open!) https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1huxOMupbVKp8VLbMvyEtkN5MZs8UTxzgb6cC7CVToB4/edit?usp=sharing
Why do sponsorships vs. subscriptions? (To channel @packym) - I want the newsletter to reach as many people as possible, especially early on - Advertising works when high-quality advertisers reach great audiences reading top-grade news. I believe in the model!
A few highlights: The @BigTechnology newsletter goes out every Thursday to 10,000+ people. The plan has always been to pursue gradual growth and build trust vs. run after traffic. Readers are responding.
Big Technology podcast is growing nicely too...
Who reads @bigtechnology? Leaders who make decisions in the tech industry, and those who shape the conversation.
And here's where they work
The newsletter reach also frequently exceeds the total email list
What’s available? Weekly and monthly packages. DM for more information and I can put you in touch with our sales team (of one).
Oh, and our advertisers are happy too
I spoke with @PatrickCoffee at @BusinessInsider about the Big Technology business model. You can read more here, and DM to get involved. Thank you 🙏 https://www.businessinsider.com/presentation-tech-journalist-alex-kantrowitz-uses-to-sell-substack-ads-2021-6

@hondanhon Yeah; just watching now, but I assume where they're going is WebAuthn. It's great, but losing your device means* losing WebAuthn certs (and thus access to all accounts secured with them), so there needs to be a fallback for resetting keys.
@hondanhon My guess is that Apple's storing recovery/private keys on iCloud to handle recovery, which is effectively the same as federated auth (as far as I'm concerned) but with the disadvantage that relying parties need to either trust that Apple/Google/etc have done their homework, or ..
@hondanhon Because we can't, also have a WebAuthn reset flow, which depends on taking a separate identifier (almost always email) and implementing federated sign-in in any event (OIDC SSO or 'magic link').
@hondanhon Now watching to see if my predictions come true. Will be genuinely delighted if they've come up with some novel way around key management. Not holding my breath, though.
@hondanhon Got to WebAuthn! 1 for 2 for me, so far! Glad they decided to go with a standard this time, rather than copying others' work and calling it their own! 🎉
@hondanhon Oh, and there we go. Storing keys in iCloud Keychain. Yeah. 2 for 2 on the prediction markets, go me! 🍰
@hondanhon So yeah, their "doesn't work on non-Apple devices" thing is a big deal ("rare events happen frequently at scale") and the usability of signing in with this goes to zero in situations where you can't use WebAuthn directly.
@hondanhon WebAuthn is *genuinely great* as a convenience method, but it doesn't solve the fundamental reset problem. Federated auth (SSO, magic link) works really well for reset (but standard approaches have usability issues that we're _very close_ to shipping some major improvements for).
@hondanhon I'll add that my assumption is that for folks implementing sign-in for users, implementing federated auth (specifically SSO) automatically/silently gets the security features of auth providers (Google, Msft, Yahoo(!), Apple), which already include WebAuthn in most cases.
@hondanhon To illustrate how much we can rely on Apple's auth methods, here's a breakdown of what percentage of users have a google/msft/yahoo/apple/other account, based on email address. Obviously iOS users represent a bigger slice, but people associate identity with their email, not OS.
