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.

We did listen to Beastie Boys over here too you know.

Just clarifying for the ones who don’t know: Element is a Matrix client.
The Oxygen catastrophe. Without it I wouldn’t exist.

Firefox with plugins. If we want there to be anything but Chromium and Safari in the future it’s simply what needs to be done. Forks of Firefox will disappear when Firefox does …
Why would I subscribe to a fake account pushing ads?
Please think your argument through at a technical level. How would Meta be able to push posts-masking-as-users to only non-EU citizens?
The simple answer is that no, there’s no way Meta can push ads into clients and/or servers that aren’t under their control. They also don’t need to - Threads is much bigger than the Mastodon-part of the fediverse.
They’re already training on that data. No signals of relevance here.
Of course it does. The EU is such a big market that Meta cannot afford to do that.
As I have already posted elsewhere in this thread, if they post ads as a user they would get shut down by the EU immediately.
Any other suggestions?
Please post one of those ways and I’ll shoot it down.
Sure, but that cannot happen here.
Agree. I’m an absolutely awesome software dev myself - and I know C by heart (being my favorite language after assembler). However, with age comes humility and the ability to recognize that I will write buggy code every now and then.
Better the language saves me when I can’t, in security critical situations.
They can do that no matter if I federate with them or not.
My bad - I misread. Yeah that’s a good point.
… if you configure to use their lookup server.
