Society revokes rights from people who show that they cannot be trusted with them.

People who harass other people to suicide don’t deserve to communicate freely. They have shown they are not responsible with that right.

I think that was also a bad thing to do.

The EFF is going to bat for fucking Kiwifarms? This is unconscionable.

I think you’re assuming a lot about what I’m doing here. In this case, I wanted to rename the community to move an emoji and make it more consistent with the other similar communities on our server.

I’m the owner and admin of the instance, and sometimes there are tidying/housekeeping tasks I need to do with user-created communities.

As a workaround, I was able to sign in as a second admin user, go to a post/comment I made in the community, and assign myself moderator through the … menu.

The app stores already know.

It’s probably the AudioData API.

Networking two machines is easy; networking several with good onboarding and DNS is not as easy.

Tailscale is a nice way to set up a private network between your machines. It’s perfectly fine.

I’m not denying that Mozilla has a history of poor governance. But they are the competitor to Google here. You need to consider these things in context to understand what anti-corporate means for the internet.

It absolutely matters. We need to consider that a right-wing actor is likely to exaggerate claims against an organization that is ostensibly socially-minded and represents anti-corporate interests, like Mozilla.

I do enough of this in the day job. I don’t have time to mess around with free hosting to save $20 a month.

I’m renting a beefy dedicated instance from HiVelocity for $55/mo.

Oracle is all fun and games until they lose your instance’s IP or data and don’t give it back because you’re a free tier freeloader.

Full disk encryption is something you really want to have when your computer is lost or stolen.

Thank you!
