Article author seems to have completely fabricated the “10 more”. There are no quotes from anyone even hinting at more whistleblowers existing, let alone ten more.

You’d see posts in a community/group/etc based on your trust of the community, unless you’ve explicitly de-trusted the poster or you trust someone who de-trusts them (and you haven’t broken that chain).
As a long time Pandora user… I never want to select individual songs. I want stations, vibes, playlists, etc.
2-3 minutes on what kind of internet connection? How long at 10Mbps?
For the simplest users, my initial idea is just a binary “do you trust them?” for each person (aka “friends”) and non-person (aka “follow”), and maybe one global binary of “do you trust who they trust?” that defaults to yes. anything more complex than that can be optional.
I am sad that the current generation of federated social media/networks still doesn’t have much, if any, implementation of web of trust functionality. I believe that’s the only solution to bots/AI/etc content in the future. Show me content from people/accounts/profiles I trust, and accounts they trust, etc. When I see spam or scams or other misbehavior, show me the trust chain connecting me to it so I can sever it at the appropriate level instead of having to block individual accounts. (e.g. “sorry mom, you’ve trusted too many political frauds, I’m going to stop trusting people you trust”)
just keep the system up to date…
The idea that downloading gigabytes of packages every week is a normal and required aspect of using a computer is part of why I left Windows…
Who runs their email servers? You can outsource fediverse server hosting too…
Yes. It’s been disappearing since before I was born in the 80s, and is mostly gone now.
Some day most people are going to understand that “I want to post something visible to everyone in the world EXCEPT these specific people” is not a viable or reasonable or even possible approach to communication, and any attempts to make it work are doomed to failure.
The same way anyone else for whom English is a second or third language function in society.
And, since we don’t own or use any Haier appliances, we aren’t subject to their TOS.
It’s not just about openid/identity/authentication. It’s also about syndication and subscription. For forums to fill the niche reddit fills, we would have needed much better tooling around things like RSS/Atom, to allow people to see and interact with content from many forums in a consolidated interface.
I think many of those people are conflating subreddit moderators with reddit site moderators/admins. On many platforms, “mods” refers to the top level people.
No. I predict we would revert to the status quo of 20-100 years ago, with very affordable state-run schools providing excellent education, and high price private schools catering to the rich. Cheap schools got expensive because we allowed the for-profit student loan industry to run wild.
I used Mattermost for a community project, but had trouble getting people to install/use/learn yet another client.
It’s a legal complaint. Someone is going to get fined, likely thousands of dollars, if the complaint is substantiated. I strongly suspect a human will be reading the whole thing more than once, before proceeding to gather much more info.
The ointment for my overnight dry eyes is half petroleum jelly half mineral oil. I can and have used Vaseline (which is almost entirely petroleum jelly) in a pinch.
If you’re at least a 4/10 woman or an 8/10 man, they are pretty effective. For the rest of us, not so much.
