I mean yeah, maybe it won't affect me directly, I like the instance I'm on and it's a pretty respectable one. However, indirectly, this is very relevant to any Fediverse user, regardless of the instance or platform they're using. Allowing abuses like this to happen without any pushback is a surefire way of turning this place into a shithole just like the rest of the internet. I appreciate the fact that, at least for now, it's different here.
Also, maybe this isn't my only homebase? Just saying.
I was under the impression that DM's on Mastodon (and Lemmy too) weren't ever stated as being secure and I think that they were both pretty transparent about this particular aspect.
Yeah, we're trying to get the fuck away from algorithms. That's what makes the fediverse such a big draw currently, for me.
Look at that shit-eating grin, he knows. There's no way someone can be that out of touch, right? Right?!?
Not one person that I've told so far has been aware of Mastodon, unfortunately. At this point, if I met someone in real life that actually knew about the Fediverse already, I'd probably shit a brick.
Gotta send them more memes.
That's all you can do 🤷♂️
Makes sense, thanks for elaborating. Nerd!
:P
I'm not sure exactly what you meant here, but I probably wouldn't tell most people who I am on here. That's not to say I wouldn't share in other places, it probably just depends on the platform really.
i don’t think there’s much interest in doing something different
See that's the part that I don't really get though. Why is it so difficult to break free? People always want to complain but never want to be part of the solution.
Interesting that you don't talk about it. Is that just because you prefer to keep your identity here separate from real life, or some other reason(s)?
Thanks for the dogtraining one. That's probably what I needed
