A member of my community made it! :) BlenderDumbass is pretty awesome like that! :)

Anything centralized can and will be used to abuse the population at the behest of the rich and powerful. The open social web is the only answer.

And thank you all for being here.

That’d be amazing! I hope someone can do that! Lol

Techlore has their own Peertube BTW.

https://techlore.tv/

This video is on there. You can follow a peertube channel directly from Mastodon or Piefed.

If folks want a peertube account there are many services out there. I personally run tubefree.org for those interested.

Truly a magnificent ruler.

He’s not pooping. He’s asserting his dominance in his realm.

Honestly, if security is a main concern for anyone here, you should run your own. Anyone can run any of this. Follow what you want, then all connections to Lemmy.world come from your server you control that you connect to. I’m on piefed.social, but I’m planning on running my own eventually.

Yes, when you ban. You can see IP addresses coming through, but the fediverse folks aren’t leveraging your IP for any kind of advantage. No tracking for ads or things. So what security precautions are we taking for Fediverse servers? I peraonnaly do the feel the need, but I’m sure there at valid reasons to do it. But if it’s just tracking and ads, they don’t exist here really.

That’s not usually how it works. Sites ban and block IP addresses. Someone going through your VPN caused such issues that Lemmy.world blocked the IP. The VPN is being used to abuse people. That’s not a VPN’s fault, but the nature of the beast.

I personally don’t think a VPN is even necessary with the Fediverse, as none of us are going to collect IP’s. But try changing the VPN’s location or trying a different VPN.

Bonfire just instituted a “Federated” flag in their alpha. I think this could be useful.

They got back to me and said they’re focused on getting their platform up and running at the moment, but it’s something they’re consider in the future.

While it isn’t a win, it’s not a loss. We’re chipping away. Big Tech will die by a billion cuts, and we will help free others. We just need more folks chipping away.

See someone you might think could help, just reach out and ask. The odds are, it’ll be a no. The odds are it’ll be a maybe later. But those odds are getting better and better daily for us. People are waking up.

Speak out. Help those even hear about it for the first time. We’ll get there. We have 30 years to undo. No better time to start than now.

I just messaged them and asked them to invest in their platform and consider the Fediverse. Everyone should reach out to them support@newpress.com and let them know a great way to take the power back is to own your own content.

Thank you! Often forget the procedures in the Threadiverse. :D Appreciate that direct link.

If you like that one, can I point you to mine? Fireside Fedi. Should be available on Apple as well as direct through my Peertube, TubeFree.org .

Actually starting a new one called WorksOnMyMahine.live as well.

Absolute best of luck to you! :) We need more diversity in software!

I hope AcitivityPub or some federation mechanism is being supported. :)

If you ever want to come on a podcast, Fireside Fedi, let me know. :)

Also if/when you’re ever needing someone to test the software I’m starting another show called Works On My Machine Live where I install the software and talk to the dev during it.

I have a show called Fireside Fedi where I talk with folks from around the Fediverse. Sometimes it’s tech, sometimes it’s not. People getting to know people and projects.

Also starting a new show called Works On My Machine Live. Where I try to install software and have the Dev on a call with me. Obviously that one will be techie though. :-D

Connoisseur and collector of fine ASCII art you mean. An online archaeologist if you will. :-)

Careful! I think logic and questions are the new terrorist things to do! Oooo scarey!

So we’ve moved on from Woke finally and just calling everything terrorist now? At least I won’t have to ask everyone saying “everything is so woke now” to define woke and watch them sputter.
