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

It’s down to 3.5k out, maybe this isn’t as big a deal. Most of QA seems back, and a small part of Magnolia is still out.

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

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.

The end to end encrypted message feature was bolted on after the rest of the thing was built, and it shows.

We’ve seen https://signal.org/bigbrother/ where signal proudly shows that they don’t have any metadata about their users to turn over. There’s a reason we don’t see anything like this for matrix.

Matrix is good at federating, but fucking horrible at keeping your information safe.

Seems unlikely that a creator would jump ship from a platform that pays them to a platform that doesn’t. That being said, lots of creators also constantly complain about demonetization, so maybe they’ll start to get fed up and move to purely in-video sponsorship things. Seems most likely from a creator that’s already on a platform like nebula
