TIL it is russian custom to simply write “)” at the end of a message instead of “:)”

every time i log into my mastodon instance, i have a lack of new posts in my feed. could anyone recommend good users to follow? discovery is really an issue here.

idea: a web service that you put in your phone number and apple id email and the backend asks apple servers for your imessage pubkeys once per day (as if to imessage you) and emails you every time there is a diff, to detect wiretaps (sending clients don't show key list changes)

I am working on a project to name and shame developers of open source software who embed spyware in their releases. Of course we can fork, but I think it's wasteful, and if we can pressure people to stop violating the consent of their users, it will be more efficient. Who wants to help? Please contact me at sneak@sneak.berlin

reminder: the only way you can have “rights to” or a “license for” information is with state violence. remove the violence and you either simply have or do not have information.

common theme seems to be people implying that i am doing something wrong by posting my own thoughts on my own server. “get out of here”, indeed

A large chunk of the Fediverse was scraped; your posts are being “released” 

it seems i have been living in a bubble; violent threats are not allowed on most mainstream social networks, and seeing it so often in the fediverse really bums me out.

there are a lot more rude people on the fediverse than on twitter, i find. :/

@aphyr i am sad you are in birdsite gaol but also i am glad you are here. here is some janky code i hacked together recently that does useful things with toots: github.com/sneak/feta

@dryad also i can't figure out how to like/boost your messages; your instance's UI buttons don't seem to work, and my mastodon instance doesn't show me your recent toots after i follow you. bummer

@dryad i am working on some software and it randomly showed me your recent toot and i couldn't agree more (re: censorship). thank you for speaking up about it! i feel like i have a minority opinion when i say "censorship should be left to the end-user, not their admin".
