An interesting take on #personalfinance and #happinness in fact

@soulfirethewolf Coming from a Masto instance I tried to make it as short of possible. Of course this is an ideal type of security and not very practical for day to day life. If Security is your goal you could try to strive as closely as possible towards these four principals. Number 3 I think is the most important one to me because its no longer an individual question, you are imposing these monopolist (potential) threats on other people

1. Dont use webmail, the purpose of a browser is to execute foreign code of unnown sources -> they can serve you any website they would like
2. dont use Email, it's all plain text on the servers (unless you insist on using pgp, yet still a lot of metadata is plain text)
3. dont use centralised communication ie. Signal. You're creating societal habits that wont be easily changeable if you start to distrust them. Matrix and IRC etc. dont need a phone either

@Zagorath Hey I just wanted to thank you for the incredible work you're doing in this community. These stories are all so incredibly well written, and to think they only came into existence thought the collective creativity while playing a #ttrpg game simply blows my mind. Thank you for gathering these fine pieces of literature in one place here on #lemmy. It's a great pleasure to read, every time I'm here

That's great. I think defederation should be a last resort option, as it weakens the ability of users tow switch instances, if they have to fear, to no longer be able to acces their former communities, resulting in the walled gardens which hold all those instagram users hostage unable to make the switch. and @chic_luke I can recommende tootle for desktop use of mastodon. It supports multiple accounts

@AnimusAstralis The #fediverse does not decide unanimously. What seperates it from #corponet is, it empowering to switch instances if you have a problem with an instances (Through the means of communicating across instances and being able to easily migrate an account) Through competition only instances which have the support of their users wil prevail

As @mojo put it "Stop centralizing ! " Your undeminig the very thing that keeps us from being depended on the mercy of admins

Simple fix, just don't join big instances, create new communities on small instances and self-host. If everybody does so, nobody has an interest into coercing users in a hermetic system, because they have far more to loose through possible defederation

This ! Also, I'm kind of disappointed how many of my peers just waited for the #reddit #blackout to pass, so they can go back to buissness as usual. Supringsingly, to me, there are a lot of people who enjoy corponet just fine.
