THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO PIRATE EVERYTHING. BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T FUCKING OWN ANYTHING. I GIVE MONEY, YOU GIVE BOOK. NOT "ACCESS" TO BOOK. BOOK!!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!

@evan

in what context?

encrypted-at-rest storage? not usually

private messages that admins can't read? nope

end-to-end encryption? nah

assurance that messages are from who they say they are from? perhaps

secure that pathological JSON payloads won't screw up arbitrary clients? unlikely

secure against (D)DOS attacks? unlikely

is the Mastodon-proper™ sprawl of codebase well-audited? I have my doubts

GoToSocial, Snac2, etc? They tend to be smaller with fewer moving parts, so I have a bit more faith/trust in their integrity.

A while ago I asked people here whether they use Lemmy or Reddit. The results got me thinking: even among people who already use and like the Fediverse, Lemmy seems to be surprisingly small.

> Old forums: independent, but isolated.
> Reddit: connected, but centralized.
> Lemmy: independent and connected.

Fun fact: No one has ever seen a goose and lived to tell the tale. Some people think they have, but they are ghosts in denial that a goose ended their pitiful lives.

C'est quoi le truc de votre vie où vous avez l'impression de ramer pendant que les autres ont un moteur ?

YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO FIND INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. i sound insane right now because the internet is a store but it used to be a library

Les couleurs étaient belles sur cette animation de la concentration en CO2 au fil des saisons, mais ce qu'elles racontent l'est moins.

"Bonita"' is weeding and thinning lettuce fields in Tehachapi CA. "This is hard work especially right now as it is very hot with highs in the 90s. There isn't shade in the field so the heat can feel overwhelming and we get tired easily. We earn CA minimum wage." #WeFeedYou
