@stux Ghehehehehe, so easy to get stuck. Imagine them trying to use a parking garage with those ramps. ;)

@josemanuel Yeah, we even had a whole convo earlier with Freemo and some others about Threads/Meta/Ads. But at least that's not insane heh.

@viyansoran Heya. Just a little protip. If there's abuse to be seen in pictures, it's probably a good idea to mark your pictures as sensitive. Not everybody in the Fediverse want to see abuse, it might be triggering for some people.

That said, hope she'll recover well.

@josemanuel Man... that's rare, but you make a good point. ;)

What I dislike though is the dogpiling upon those opinions. 'Yeah you're right!' 'No, that's ridiculous' 'Oh yeah we're doomed!' 'We should defederate now!' ... I'm reading too much of the same now, heh.

@josemanuel I'm tired of people thinking up ridiculous doom scenarios.

@alecui Well, with privacy I meant not scanning your email to serve you ads with like Gmail does. I know it's all automated but I think it's not nice. I don't necessarily need encrypted stuff like ProtonMail and Tutanota. In fact, I find that a bit less convenient because you gotta use special clients or a bridge software.

@alecui Besides ProtonMail/Tutanota/Startmail I don't really know of other 'trusted' services with privacy in mind. But lemme know what you ultimately end up with and whether you had to compromise. :)

@alecui Just making sure, Gmail or ProtonMail? Gmail allows you via the uh.. what's it called again.. Gmail for workgroups or so? So a paid plan. ProtonMail allows you to if you're a paid user.

@LouisIngenthron @freemo @admitsWrongIfProven @skyblond I think it's risky for Meta to defederate after a long time. Their users will probably have Fediverse contacts they'd want to stay in touch with and might actually move then after defederation.

It's going to be an interesting game here.

@alecui I didn't expect to get such a detailed response! Thanks, it's interesting. I'm a paying ProtonMail user, but actually never use their services... so I'm probably a 'supporter', heh. Am half pondering Startmail myself. Am currently a full Gmail user because the Gmail interface is hard to beat with some plugins.

@alecui Wha? Tutanota didn't support imap? *Checks* Oh gods, you're right. Damn yeah.

What's the reason you want to leave ProtonMail btw? Just curious.

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven @skyblond

Remember that there's part of the Twitter crowd lamenting about having to choose a server? Oh oh oh, so difficult.

Chances are they probably have Instagram. Hey, we can join this stupid Fediverse! And we don't have to choose a server! HAH THAT WILL TEACH THEM! (Let's ignore the fact that Instagram is basically 'their server' and in a way they did choose.)

There are always people too stupid to poop. But they can at least join the Fediverse and chances are they are already so used to ads... I mean, there are still people on Facebook, no?

@osfast Klopt, me too. Na Eugen's blog te gelezen te hebben ben ik van mening dat vele mastodon admins nogal overdreven doen. En dan is Threads nog niet eens gefedereerd.

slur in username i cite; blocking bots 

@admitsWrongIfProven *Looks at the domain name of that bot*

Oh, I've blocked that whole domain on my account. :P It's one of those racistic instances if memory serves.

@gpowerf I've never gotten TikTok so.. I might be one of the 'survivors'.

@gpowerf I'm not going to wait until our sun finally goes supernova, I've got better things to do. Next week thursday suit you?
