Do not comply.
Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave.
This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity.
This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights.

We need to boycott any platforms that request personally identifying information. They won't stop doing it until we hit them where it hurts - in the wallet.

@Em0nM4stodonEm This this this. I just came back to the fediverse after fully leaving Meta and Snapchat ++ behind. I guess I’m leaving Discord soon too.
Hello Mastodon 👋
I'm rogi.
I have a 2014 ThinkPad. I run a blog with €5/month. Zero cloud.
I read privacy policies so you don't have to.
Last month: an AI had a 24KB psychological profile built from my conversations. Last week: my passport went through 17 US companies just to get a LinkedIn badge. Nobody mentioned that.
That's what I write about. Not paranoia, just what's actually in the documents.
For any #Wikipedia editors out there who also know something about Internet routing ... earlier this week I significantly updated the "RouteViews" article after discovering to my immense surprise that it was a very short and small article that didn't say much:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_Views
I would appreciate any other eyeballs on it (and welcome any improvements).
Also, see the Talk page for my notes about adding a logo!
(It's been a while and I don't remember the exact process. 🤦♂️)

(CC4.0-BY-NC-SA)
I think this nib probably needs replacing, it keeps chewing up the paper and as you can see the fibres occasionally caught in the nib drag the ink on certain strokes like the tails of "h", "k", and "a". It is a Hunt 22, on the stiffer side, not capable of the dramatic changes in line width you get with a 101 or my beloved Leonardt Principal, but good for smaller writing.

With atproto, I am not excited about Bluesky, I am excited about things like standard.site: https://standard.site/
- Three independent blogging platforms started this off
- A fourth onboarded on their own
- A library has been shipped that lets independent blogs integrate and is now being used by numerous folks
- There's now a WordPress plugin
- We're working on bridging Articles back and forth on Bridgy Fed
- It became big enough that even Bluesky and Blacksky now use it for their blogs

POLL: Fedi people, do you have a website or blog or personal wiki or some other kind of online Thing That You Control Yourself that other people can find you on that isn't paid for / maintained by someone else, meaning YOUR THING is at a web address like you.whatever, not at you.someonelse.whatever or someoneelse.whatever/you, I mean are you paying the tenner a year or however much for a whole-ass domain name all for yourself (or for you and a small group of IRL friends), and if not do you want to be, THE POLL, and here is the guidance and elaboration on options:
1) No and I don't want my own site, Fedi and/or other social media scratches that itch for me just fine and I'm content with this arrangement
2) No, but I have a Vague Yearning or a Curious Itch and I wonder sometimes what it would be like, but so far it's just feelings and not plans, I haven't taken any concrete steps towards making My Own Website a real thing that exists, but I'm comfortable saying that I would probably *like* it to exist some day when I'm ready
3) No, but more of a Not Yet than a no; maybe I've bought a domain name and not put anything on it yet, or I haven't yet bought a domain name but I'm researching my options (whether I do it in a lazy few minutes here and there or in focused making-notes sort of study, both count for the purposes of this question), I've spent some time thinking about this With Intent, and I feel less "*wouldn't* this be nice" and more "*won't* this be nice" about this endeavour
4) Yes I own at least one domain name, come on Dan this is Fedi, and at least one of my domains even have websites or services associated with them
BOOST THIS TOOT to get an INCREDIBLY INACCURATE IMPRESSION of how many people have and/or want websites and a more accurate picture of how many people On Fedi have and/or want websites
A very easy message to run on at every level of government is “MAGA politicians are stealing our money for their own desires,” because it’s true. We see it here in Huntington Beach! We see it at the state level! We see it nationally! We need to stop these assholes from stealing our money!

Yes it seems that way. As soon as i saw the suthors fedi page it was fairly obvious. And to some extent a priori i trust the folks who apply it in their work.
Scam detector I'm just writing off as noise. Thanks for this History!

For this #PublicDomainFriday, we're sharing an ink painting on silk of a horse and willow tree by an unidentified Chinese artist, created during the Ming Dynasty. This work is on view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 210 and in their digital archives: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/36039
@deadsuperheroSean Tilley so, now it's time for *me* to put *you* on the spot.
As is probably clear from the last 12 hours of active conversation on the thread you started, you've got an audience and a network that really brings people together.
I wonder, how comfortable you are using that convening power more often? As in, when are we having the WeDistribute conference? 😉

오늘 눈깔 검사 다시 하고 왔는데 안경은 안써도 될것 같다는데 시력이 아직 완전히 회복안되는 이유는 니 눈깔이 너무 건조해서 그렇다고... 일회용 인공눈물(?)을 쓰라고 하던데 수술후 방부제가 없는걸 써야한다고 함다... 이동네가 특히 건조해서 그런듯 요샌 근데 비가 많이 오긴했는데...? 일단 주문은 하긴했는데 건강하게 사는것이 여러모로 쉽지 않다는것을 다시 느끼고;;

I recently posted about archive.today (also archive.is, archive.ph, archive.fo, archive.li, archive.md, and archive.vn) using its archive links to launch a ddos attack against a blogger they accused of doxing them: https://mathstodon.xyz/@11011110/116028203974257264
That attack triggered #Wikipedia (at least, the English part) to discuss banning archive.today links, and the ensuing discussion turned up evidence that (as part of the same dispute with the same blogger) archive.today had also tampered with its archived content to falsify certain names in old archived links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5#Evidence_of_altering_snapshots
This led to a quick close of the discussion and a consensus to remove all archive.today links from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Archive.today_guidance
For the same reasons I have removed all archive.today links from my blog, where I had been occasionally using them as a convenient way to access paywalled content. I suggest that others remove their links as well, lest you unwittingly become part of additional ddos attacks and falsification.
