I discovered when I graduated from Computer Science I prefer people to programming. I toot about Privacy and about how RFC1984 relates to that. I'm concerned by the threat of mass data collection and surveillance. I like to raise awareness of this RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1984

In this world of pandemics, questionable governments and questionable choices in computing when we need to embrace degrowth, I find comfort at the moment in helping other folk when I can.

A bit like the metaphor of a butterfly causing a small flap that turns into a hurricane.

You never know quite how far small deeds can go. Help others when you can, it can be just a message of support. Or helping folks on to here.

It's all I can do. Rebel with small acts of kindness.

The best way to preserve the fediverse is to provide support to it.

Pay your instance admin if you can, if you can't boost their fundraiser posts

Pay the developers who develop the software you use on there if you can. If you can't, boost their posts and help them fundraise.

Also pay the projects non Dev folks. Because they help Devs to focus on the code while they do community development, moderation etc.

It's an ecosystem and we can't rely on the whims of VCs.

On any online space, you should consider who you give power to. Who has the control over who you choose to associate with? Power doesn't corrupt. It reveals.

People in real life do choose to avoid dangerous or toxic places.

All that the instances who sign the fedipact are doing is signalling to some of us that somewhere is safe for folk who don't want to engage with Facebook at all.

This is a Freedom of Association issue, not a Freedom of Speech issue.

@thenexusofprivacy @FediTips In my android client (Tusky) I can go to the profile of any user on that instance, click the three dots in the upper right corner and "mute instance".

That only hides the instance from you, it doesn't hide you from the instance.

Proper instance blocking has to be done by the admin.
