@zkat Hmm. Not sure I feel comfortable with giving a third-party service that degree of access to my Twitter account :/ As I follow a number of private accounts. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I should probably work out how to mirror my toots to Twitter... anybody have any suggestions?

@zkat Ah, in that sense. While it's a bit fire-hosey, it also ends up being pretty relevant to my interests in general (certainly more so than the Twitter homepage :p), I guess that might not be the case for everybody

@the_all Elongated Muskrat bought the place, and is (among other things) talking about "authenticating humans", which sounds an awful lot like a real-name policy

@zkat Isn't that what the federated timeline is for, though? That shows toots from all instances your instance is federating with in some way, AFAIK.

Well then. Guess I live here now.

@wilbr @nowherestudios @AudreyJune I think this is basically (one of the things) that the whole Sudbury Valley school model is based upon, as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awOAmTaZ4XI

@thufie I feel like the problem here might be that there's no clear distinction between 'mark as friend' and 'subscribe to feed' (and I also see that sentiment reflected in the other replies). Both of those are often expressed as a 'follow', but with very different motivations!

@maralorn@chaos.social I don't think it's that simple. He's a pretty high-profile person, and that comes with a certain responsibility not to do undeserved damage to others through one's fame.

I think he's shirking that responsibility here, and actively doing damage to the federated development ecosystem, with claims that don't really hold any water (which he's been told many times, and refuses to do anything with).

I understand the deletion-after-the-fact on the part of the CCC, if the intent was never to record it. But I don't think Moxie should be immune from criticism for this decision, at all. The rules are different when you have a lot of public influence.

@maralorn@chaos.social @ikonoklast@chaos.social Also, the recording should still be available at https://berlin-ak.ftp.media.ccc.de/congress/2019/h264-hd/36c3-11086-eng-The_ecosystem_is_moving.mp4 (and maybe other mirrors).

@maralorn@chaos.social @ikonoklast@chaos.social Not a very plausible argument, considering that his blog post (containing, AFAIK, basically the same arguments) is still up, without any discussion facilities.

@f2k1de@chaos.social I'm so annoyed that they don't allow people with Supersparpreis-tickets anymore :(

@Bobo_PK@chaos.social Heh, nice.

@f0x Narrator: The internet did not cut out a lot.

@Bobo_PK@chaos.social Coincidentally, or did they finally figure out what's going on? :P

@f0x That's probably a much more comfortable datacenter than the average commercial one, though.

Datacenter tourism is interesting, but ultimately commercial datacenters are hot, loud places, and not in the good sense :)

@tari_alfaro@mastodon.technology Usually, as a badly-thought-out "security measure", to try and prevent things like shell injection on the server side (when the correct way to solve this would have been either a better process API, or at least escaping).

It's worth noting that minds.com definitely falls into the "clueless about security" bracket. They have quite some... history (also in the area of sketchy business practices), and are hilariously incompetent.
