Signal is too darn secure. Much better to have one dude who probably knows how to use a crypto library build the whole thing over again with a coat of ActivityPub on top

Yeah that’s the problem here

Look at OPs other posts. They’re just spreading hate.

You can also just lie about your current salary.

This isn’t really specific to federated software. The client can go offline but the server can’t. Same applies to all centralized services. The only place this really applies is for decentralized (as in, no central points) systems, and those tend to have a lot of special sauce to make other people being offline less painful

They’ll just sue them.

Yeah that claim seems fairly unsubstantiated by the rest of the article. It’s probably bullshit.

Is that how it works on kbin? Maybe I’ve just never gotten an upvote on my kbin account

You get a notification when you get an upvote?

Please don’t blame the people who were forced to implement this. There are engineers to blame behind all shitty tech in the world. They’re just trying to work a job. There aren’t exactly a lot of jobs in the tech industry where you don’t work for some of the evilest motherfuckers alive building unimaginably evil stuff. I’m all for directing as much hate, vitriol, credible threats of violence, etc at the people on top, but let’s leave the poor sap who they forced to do their dirty work alone.

And now you can’t even buy a chromecast workout an always on microphone. It’s like Google is doing a mass advertising campaign that says “please get off our platform and pirate everything”
