Yeah, I'm pressing X to doubt on this one because the website still only recommends Mastodon and Element, and the page literally talks about why federation and decentralized social media is vital to privacy and anti-censorship. They even have people in the forums talking about twitter frontends so you don't have to actually go to the site. They even purposely try to avoid promoting their accounts on centralized media, the footer of every page only shows Mastodon, Matrix, Peertube, and Bluesky.
It's privacyguides.ORG btw. Are you thinking of privacytools.io?
I’m talking about the site I wrote about but had the .com wrong. I was an active member there, and had it out with Jonah about X
