That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?
So basically anything goes in terms of content…
EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).
Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?
So did Harris’ campaign open a mastadon account (this shouldn’t be all that difficult or costly) following this initiative?
I am not the from the US, just curious. More official government accounts on Mastadon is good thing.
I did recently notice that I could follow some people on Threads on one of my Mastadon account, that’s a good thing too.
Harris is on Threads and recently you’ve been able to follow people on Threads from Mastadon.
A Mastadon “native” account would be best of course, especially considering the amount raised.
I disagree.
The specific methods, be it crypto or some offshore fake company scheme, don’t matter.
If you are a nobody and you give the government reasons to prosecute you, they will crack your scheme no matter how convoluted your crypto setup. This is basic common sense.
The whole “crypto = freedom” is a ruse promoted by various scammers and criminals to attract marks.
The scammers figured out that some low effort copytext about “freedom” is an easy way to attracts marks in context of a crypto scam, especially north american ones who like to believe they understand the meaning of freedom. When in reality their knowledge of such matters is extremely lacking; and I am being very diplomatic in this.
“Silly”
Very mature comeback. An excellent reflect of the validity of crypto use cases. Couldn’t have done better myself.
If you knew anything about business and industries, you would know full well that cryto/blockchain has been a massive failure in practically every use case other than two I outlined above.
If you did care about “privacy” w.r.t. crypto, you wouldn’t be using bitcoin.
Privacy and anonymity with Bitcoin? Are you serious?
Not being controlled by external entities? Bitcoin is controlled by a bunch of whales and various insiders such as Tether, the client development goons and random scammers.
All of them are looking to get some money off the marks. Nothing more, nothing less.
Right, everyone who disagrees with me as a fool and knows nothing.
You might disagree with what I am saying, but you can’t deny this is a reasonable take and not mere shitposting or engaging in “hate crimes against the blockchain!”.
Bitcoin and blockchain have only two use cases:
Why is this Mastadon instance blocked?

Seems like a random account with nothing controversial.
Interesting concept, will need to check it out sometime.
ACAB includes mods.
This is anarchism? Come on now…
Is this elaborate satire? :)
I had a pretty decent self-hosted setup that was working locally. The whole project failed because I couldn’t set up a reverse proxy with nginx.
I am no pro, very far from it, but I am also somewhat Ok with linux and technical research. I just couldn’t get nginx and reverse proxies working and it wasn’t clear where to ask for help.
All the individuals you mentioned made their contributions and statements under their real names.
The Tor team largely publishes their work under their real names:

They even have a board of directors:

Has the lead Nostro developer mentioned anything about his support for Olavo de Carvalho (the claim that “Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses” is particularly wild)? I will note Stallman, Linus have provided feedback to public criticism of their statements/approaches.
The Lemmy tankie issue is definitely a major problem.
Turns out Nostr’s founder (who is a crypto-bro) is super sketchy:

Interesting, will need to do some digging.
It is an excellent concept. I wish there was a more common “killer service/use case”, something like a imagehost but without all the bullshit and corporate changes (like the recent issues with imgur).
Cheers!
