Just wanted to get this thought out there. Space on the internet is infinite, and changing to a new domain is easy and cheap. Let the people who have poisoned their brains with anti tankie rhetoric pay the DNS landlord hundreds of dollars for the privilege of setting up a redirect to NATO's website or whatever, our money and effort is better spent on literally anything else.

:this:

not 100% sure that's true about sending DMs to users on other instances (activitypub uses public key signing to ensure data integrity so I'm assuming they couldn't do so without those keys from our DB), but certainly they could put up a honeypot and try to ID users.

Didn't know that about DMs but the point remains that impersonation is possible and they could trick people into DMing on other platforms by including false matrix IDs in profiles or posts.

yep, it's still a big fucking problem.
