They didn't get hacked for all their money, so they're still doing way better than the average crypto exchange. (Though I wonder if any of these new online casinos have bookkeeping as bad as FTX did and will suddenly go broke one day. Normally I'd say "how do you go broke running a casino?", but that pretty much applies to crypto exchanges too.)

mastodon is unserious gibberish. e. like, do they think the feds arent already monitoring their little fiefdoms? them having an official account means literally nothing. it just means they will miss out on industry news. if you hate them, just cyberbully them.

This is why mastodon will fail. Every instance is a fiefdom run by one person. Who can read your DM's.

Also, I'm absolutely stealing this from kurtm@OpenBSD: Fediverse was clearly a typo, it was supposed to have been Fed Averse. spankmeister posted:This is why mastodon will fail. Every instance is a fiefdom run by one person. Who can read your DM's. It's also a lesson to IT folks who might one day have to recommend non-IT folks join Mastodon; we may need to get used to recommending people join mastodon.social until they've found smaller instance that they can join more permanently.

Perhaps it won't be long until there's an OTR or similar plugin for mastodon so people can have private DM's.

That's the benefit of federated systems, you can choose the one(s) run by a person or group you trust. Don't trust anyone? Run your own. Personally I never trusted Twitter to do anything more than give me a feed of posts by people I choose to follow, so when evaluating Twitter alternatives I just went with herd mentality and chose the largest open instance that had multiple people I follow on Twitter on it.

Lol if you DM anything you wouldn't want people to read on any website. That poo poo is all unencrypted, Twitter employees are probably eating popcorn while they read a live feed of them. Not to mention the hackers who've silently compromised it and are just watching and waiting, especially post-Elon. Use Telegram if you don't want your instance admin to read your desperate attempts to make friends or you creeping on infosec women. I assume there's a reason they don't call them Private Messages anymore.

Y'all seem to be hung up on the DM part of my post but that was just secondary to my point of mastodon admins running a fiefdom. Of course one shouldn't have any expectation of privacy .

I don’t find fiefdoms. It’s like forums from the days of yore. Admins who are dicks are just part of the sauce (Also open to any suggestions on good mastodon servers.)

It's a one-person instance run by the single person that uses it, who is also the one making the announcement. It impacts no-one other than that person. This is like someone on twitter blocking the CISA, then publicly announcing they've blocked CISA on twitter, and saying "this will have professional consequences for me". Nobody would have known or cared if they hadn't announced it to be performative. And nobody would have taken it as evidence that twitter was doomed. Finding tiny mastodon instances run by weirdos is like finding a forum about multi-dick dragons: amusing, but meaningless.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I rather hope it's a lesson that people will take to heart, that smaller mastodon instances should only be used by people who have the same technological and political opinions as the admins of that particular instance. We need more internet services run by NGOs. My main email address is provided by a registered society. If a corporation would try to buy the service it would be a hopeless effort. I have my one vote like everyone else and I would vote against it, as I assume would most members. If the society runs into monetary issues it would probably be easy to squeeze few euros out of the members. But I paid my 30€ joining fee 15-20 years ago and they have never asked for another penny.

I have one that I use as fallback for when all others don't apply, an entire domain with a catch-all mailbox so I can do service@example.tld and have a reasonable expectation that if I see that mail address anywhere it's because that provider leaked (irrespective of what they claim), one that always goes directly to my phone, one for my work with an opensource project, and a few that (to my knowledge) aren't listed publicly.
