I'm so happy 🙃 that I never got into the habit of using any of the mentioned platforms.

By making platforms responsible for screening the content their users post, we create a system that only the largest tech monopolies can survive, and only then by removing or blocking anything that threatens or displeases the wealthy and powerful.
This certainly is true for central platforms. I'm running a few services for family, friends and neighbours. Some of these are connected to federated systems like mail, matrix, ActivityPub instances.
I do not get stressed over copyright problems: I had personal contact to everybody having an account and I trust that they'll not misuse it.
If I'd get into stress I'd close down open registration in the one service that has it configured and only host accounts that I gave out to people I know and trust.
If someone would claim I'd infringe a right they have to something that is published on one of the services I run I'd probably take it offline, talk to the person using the account and agree on a solution.
If that person would be unhappy with our agreement they could start running the exactly same service being FLOSS and designed to be self-hosted even on a home internet connection.
I would help where I can to help people to take over the legal risks I might not be able to cover for them and be able to make their on decisions by hosting their own instances.
If this ever will happen it'll be a once in 20 years situation that I'm willing to risk getting into.
My guess is that decentralisation helps. It's good for security also: It doesn't make any code more secure, but it does make each of the small nodes in decentralized networks less interesting to attackers and it makes it harder for attackers to gain access to huge amounts of data by breaking into one single system.
If you can read this you're reading a note created on my #microblogpub instance on my #yunohost.
@t@hexa.ninja the author of microblog.pub created an integration for yunohost in package format version 1.
yunohost moved on and created the packaging format version 2.
Building on the work of Thomas I upgraded the package to the newer packaging format and integrated it into yunohosts app catalogue where it will appear within the next 24h.
If you're using microblog.pub on a yunohost you'll be offered an update of the app once it has been included into the catalog.
Thanks Thomas for that great software!
(This note is my first one written on my updated microblog.pub v2 integration on yunohost.)
