@GeekDaddy Mutt is pretty daunting at first (at least was for me), but it does mail well.

May I suggest that every instance administrator suspends the Instance preteengirls.biz ?

Yes, it is exactly what you can guess from the domain name.

it can be a little confusing here at first, so i hope this helps!

@mkwadee I wonder why such a rush. Mainstream media coverage?

also lol@ all the people who are again writing stuff like "let's see if this takes off, let's see if it becomes popular". We sustained the fediverse with like 100 actual users for years, it's gigantic right now.

@GeekDaddy I have a spare laptop, maybe it's time to try out Gentoo for the first time.

@GeekDaddy Debian stable. Like somebody else said it's boring but, well stable.

@YesIKnowIT Now at least we know what the "INTEL INSIDE" stood for: "INTELligence agency INSIDE your hardware"...

Netflix is everything wrong with America. They're trying to compete with sleep.

It gets on my nerves that people use WhatsApp or Signal or Threema or Telegram or whatever hip new thing they came up with for instant messaging because "it is too hard/weird to create an XMPP account".

XMPP is a protocol for federated instant messaging in case you never heard of it.

If we are already getting people to use Mastodon instead of birdsite, how about we made it really easy for instance owners to also run an XMPP server using the same credentials as Mastodon for user authentication?

@GeekDaddy It's a great opportunity to learn about those things.

Every now and then I see the argument that people shut down their XMPP server because they communicate only with a handful of people over it.

This has been the main reason to keep my XMPP server as it is a great way to hook up all kinds of people to chat with me in real time through one of the most secure e2e encryption schemes we have available today.

2-3 people's chat less on the record is still a win imho.
