She gets it; Evan doesn’t. We either have consistent and reliable security on the Fediverse or we have a giant federated liability. Solutions with a temporary attack surface are not serious solutions.

And “it’s ok if you don’t get it” is an impressive display of dismissive condescension. @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber, I don’t know you, but I’m sorry that you were spoken to like that. It’s gross.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://social.lol/users/adam/statuses/116104664819829640 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
