Unless someone has a genuine need, no car should be bigger than this.

Don’t be afraid of a 6 month home renovation.

Those 12 months will be the most fulfilling 2 years of your life.

Whenever they write the Wikipedia article about E2EE, I just want a footnote in there...

was the artillery, the big guns that made the difference. and were the special forces recon teams that made it possible.

@jaz that's good!

I think that Fediverse people are sophisticated enough to know the difference between @userboxes or @levelbot and a disinformation campaign, even if we call them both "bots".

@jaz thanks, I hate it.

Do we need a different word for fake accounts that generate misinformation, and useful automated accounts that provide services, information or entertainment?

Asking for a friend who makes the second.

@earth_walker @benpate

It's not either-or. You can use both.

If you prefer to switch apps and identities and go over to Signal, awesome.

If you'd rather message someone with your ActivityPub identity, you can do that securely now, too.

The E2EE work on ActivityPub uses an open standard, MLS, to encrypt data. One reason we chose it was so it's at least possible to bridge to other social and messaging networks while keeping the data encrypted from end to end.

@evan I'd say the social distance between participants of the Fediverse is far shorter than on centralised social networks, yes. I definitely found friends here. Friends as in people that are willing to work together on positive things. On centralised networks my experience always was that people connect based on being AGAINST something. Here, more often, people band together FOR something.
