Email in itself is decentralised. You can set up your own email server and send and receive from it. However, your emails will be often flagged as spam unless you perform some form of black magic and allegedly, you are more vulnerable to spam (although I have been running my own email for months now that’s on the open web and hasn’t been spammed). Some hosts like Hetzner and various ISPs don’t allow you to open the ports needed for email, at least without giving them a ring and explaining why you need it.

Eh, it’s quite leftist here and VERY atheistic but honestly I’ve seen more insane takes come out of Reddit. Here there is reason and sense to those takes, as well as substance.

If we’re including xmpp and matrix, then we should include Email 🤭

If your SSH is using key authentication and you don’t have anything silly as an attack vector, you should be grand.

Florida man strikes back

I thought it already did that

Apparently it actually can, which is why news reports are careful about it and it shouldn’t happen in TV soaps or fictional dramas often

They’re mostly toffs. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a conservative movement to make climate change protesters look bad

I think they’ve scaled back on it

Is this hyperbole or literally true?

I like the optical ones as it works with wet hands

Gmail and outlook both took off though

The Facebook scare is absolute ridiculous. Threads integration can mainstream the fediverse. Basically everyone on Mastodon doesn’t want anything to do with Meta, There’s no way Threads would suck up a good enough amount of Mastodon’s target audience for an extinguish to do enough damage.

Conduit seems to have next to no docs on actually installing it for some reason.

Hard agree. A while ago, Feddit UK nearly lost it’s domain and I was a hard advocate of carving our own identity without using terms such as “Reddit”, “Lemmy” or “Federation”. Basically have our unique identity. As right now all I have told about it see it as a reddit knock-off.

Honestly, I think the future of fediverse advocacy for now should be recommending a specific instance and not explaining the federation part until they are using it

Discuit is not a federated social platform, and we do not plan to support federation in the future either. This is because we do not believe that federated platforms, for a few specific reasons, have a chance of becoming mainstream social platforms one day.

Cringe

I know someone who had a Minecraft server which used a .net domain (most Minecraft servers do use .net, even one I hosted did) and he renamed it once and used an .xyz domain and it suddenly looked like a sketchy Russian porn site

Xyz domains always look sketchy, sorry.
