@gudenau@mastodon.technology @chris The short of it, as far as I understand the articles that I've read, is that the problem is based in a feature -- they didn't want people to troll others by being able to delete from the key server records. But it is biting them in the butt now that they have "poisoned" keys that they want to delete spammed signatures from . . . .
They pretty much need to go back to the drawing board for the key server federation protocols :/

In the response to impending #censorship of the internet, Glyn Moody had this to say about #FreedomBox:
"It should become a priority for the Open Source community."
If you agree with him, donate to us so we can keep fighting for your freedom:

@glynmoody That was a good read, thanks for linking it.
There was also a nice mention of https://freedombox.org/ ( @freedomboxfndn ) at the end of the article, too.

I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.
This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.
You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

This is pretty bad. If you use PGP you probably need to stop using the source of the certificates you have been checking. https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d6955275f

Happy to announce that my RSS-to-ActivityPub converter now detects MP3s from podcast feeds and makes them into attachments that render directly in Mastodon 2.9.2+

Nextcloud announces a new collaborative rich text editor called Nextcloud Text, not "a replacement to a full office suite, but rather a distraction-free, focused way of writing rich-text documents alone or together with others."

I suppose I should post an #introduction.
I am #new2mastodon and to microblogging in general. I'm not sure I actually understand the attraction, but the technologies of the #fediverse are fascinating.
I am a #christian #father, a #softwaredeveloper, and a long-time #linux fan.
I used to be big into #gaming, but life makes it harder to keep up with that habit. #reading is probably better for me anyway.
@christitus I've been following your videos for a bit, and was wondering when you would let us know what your librem.one handle was :)
Nice to finally find you here!
Keep up the good work on YouTube. Going all-in with content creation is pretty brave of you.

There are some very good point here on the over-reliance on password managers. https://medium.com/@stuartschechter/before-you-use-a-password-manager-9f5949ccf168

when discord asks for your phone number, or facebook wants you to upload a picture of your face, or twitter makes you create an account to view the "tweets and replies" tab...
that's a paywall
you pay with your privacy

Nice developer article from @sarah_chima@twitter.com on what the local storage is and how you can manipulate it with #JavaScript. https://sarahchima.com/blog/using-the-local-storage/
Wow, what a headline. All the more reason to move to Linux sooner rather than later!

The truth is, if your employees are having to consistently work through nights and weekends to meet the deadlines *your own company* has set, there’s something wrong with scheduling, staffing, expectations, or some combo of the three. https://twitter.com/dankim/status/1135627135576629248
