hahaha this sucks so bad

When you enable and defend Nazis, racist and white supremacists, you're clearly telling us that you are okay with us getting harassed, abused and/or killed.
There's nothing to discuss here.

No, I'm not calling everyone I disagree with a Nazi, but as soon as you make excuses for them you're an apologist, as soon as you enable them you're an enabler.

Glad you asked!

Why libraries are the greatest places on earth:

- books
- free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- quiet, so quiet, so peaceful is heaven
- people leave you alone
- also movies and computers and things
- staff literally know everything and want you to know everything thanks
- you can stay the whole time they're open and not have to pay anything at all
- you can get lost in the big ones and that's cool
- mmm smells of wisdom

Imagine going to a bookstore, buying a book, and then trying to read it at a coffee shop or at a park or at home and a corporation smacks the book out of your hand says "no you bought it in our store, you only read it in our store".

Yeah.

The initial success of Mastodon depended on the implicit absence of fascists et al afforded it by early obscurity. Now that Mastodon is popular, we'll have to defend it from them explicitly. Any claims to the contrary are likely revisionistic.

#Privacy / #Security Pro-Tip of the Day: Privacy and security are less convenient. There is no way around this. It is often likely that the less convenient a measure is, the more secure it is.

This is not just digitally, but in the physical world as well.

+ Locking your door is less convenient than not locking it.
+ Closing your blinds is less convenient than not closing them.
+ Randomly generating passwords and storing them in a password manager is less convenient than using the same, memorable password for everyone.
+ Using a password manager is less convenient than not using one.

Come to terms with this and you will be much safer and much more private.
