There are many stories on how the receiver of a transplant has felt themselves being “changed”, sometimes in ways that would remind people of the donor.

No, they should be where no entity outside of European jurisdiction can influence their messaging.

The EU commission has their own Mastodon instance. That’s how all public services should do it.

That’s just replies to a post. It doesn’t solve not all posts reaching everybody.

It cannot be “fixed” unless you centralize into a single firehose like Xitter and Bluesky.

Those of us running smaller instances can choose to use relays and fetcher-tasks - and there is a PR to put one such fetcher into Mastodon - but if the goal is 100% of everybody always sees 100% of the content then no decentralized solution will ever offer that.

Until there is another instance it’s not federated.

We’re seeing a substantial increase on the Mastodon instance I help moderate too, but there’s no aggregate marketing department at Mastodon so we don’t get any headlines.

You want Matrix. Synapse if you intend to host for others, Conduit if you just want to host for yourself. There are quite a few different clients but I do indeed use ElementX on mobile.

Shops in Sweden very often state that they don’t accept cash - and it’s perfectly legal for them to make that choice.

We have cash?

Haven’t used it for years.

Troll comment.

You do that - you die.

Please show me that guideline, anywhere.

Ex global Head of Software here:

No.

Many of Yandex’s employees resigned in protest, accusing the company of serving as a tool of Kremlin propaganda and actively concealing information about the war.

IOCX has a noticeable increase in new user signups since a day or two back.

That sounds problematic. Where do they detail this?

Wikipedia:

Google Safe Browsing “conducts client-side checks. If a website looks suspicious, it sends a subset of likely phishing and social engineering terms found on the page to Google to obtain additional information available from Google’s servers on whether the website should be considered malicious”.

But why are random people visiting your instance?

If you were just selfhosting services for you and your family, would really browsers be flagging your site?

… if you configure to use their lookup server.

I don’t consider those comments regarding Matrix as problematic. Don’t use someone else’s server if you don’t trust them - including a third party lookup server.
