Sounds like an interesting thing to try! I do think it might tend to group users into a groupthink / exclusion mentality, maybe, or maybe it won’t, but definitely cool idea.
I’ve seen plenty of mod drama / trolls over the years, seems like a fundamentally human problem, kind of like good vs evil in a way, almost impossible for one side to win over the other.
I think it’s pretty well studied that pseudonyms are much better for human interaction than true anonymity. I’m not a social scientist though so I don’t have the references offhand.
It can be fun to be anonymous but there’s a reason Yikyak shutdown, 4chan, 8chan are how they are, etc. they just don’t tend to work well long term.
With pseudonyms ban evasion is possible but registering an account is at least some friction deterring some bad behavior, and mods have more tools. And on the other side you do have some reputation building that occurs when people have stable usernames.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
I am not sure how Matrix handles keys but it is a real headache for end users. For me at least
With openid, etc, it’s decentralized compared with centralized and distributed, so you wouldn’t get stuck with one openid provider.
I don’t know much about any of these so thanks for developing for the rest of us.
There’s more abuse potential with full anonymity vs persistent pseudonyms
What would be the possible alternatives to block chain?
To me it didn’t sound like complaining, just sharing that experience.
No not on the server, on the phone. You know how it fills up with photos?
Does it automatically delete pictures when you’re out of space ?
Iirc the cloudflare proxy hides your true IP address
You can also use snapraid (and mergefs) on Linux to do the same thing! I’m excited to recognize this because I recently turned an old PC into a crappy nas with Open Media Vault and used these two.
31 mph is not too bad, but at higher speeds you start facing safety risks and instabilities of different kinds besides just falling over. Going downhill very fast on a road bike is not a super stable configuration. You can slip on turns, lose control on bumps, hit something you didn’t have reaction time for, etc.
I think planes have this too where they’re safer at higher altitudes, except not too high beyond what they’re rated for and have other instabilities from that
Ah cool I thought it was full featured
Dude… I’ve gone pretty fast down some hills. It feels way safer to be going real slow and fall over than going 50 mph downhill on a road bike in a nice straight line.
I’ve never seen a config file, I just have the element x app. And use it to access a matrix.org account. I can interact with channels I’ve already joined via the Web interface on other devices. But can’t figure out how to join new ones from the phone.
Unrelated, I should probably make my own post, but in element X I can’t figure out how to join rooms.
I like proton pass it has a free tier and paid version
I have one of the mikrotik hap things because it was cheap.
Without / there is no way to know
I thought Blockchain was how the protocol knew how to federate, e.g. where to find other users. (?) I don’t really remember how Blockchain works but iirc it is a way to verify trust, e.g. this person really is /u/sem because our shared document says they are.
I know DNS is an alternative but it kind of sucks. Bluesky is inventing it’s open DiD thing for identity and it is centralized in practice but might be a good system. And I have no idea how it works.
