My dream for Mastodon is for it to be a viable choice as a publishing platform for any creator. In other words, for people to not feel like they're locked in to Twitter or Instagram if they want to be professionally successful.

Thank you to anyone who includes posts in a report. Especially if it's a DM, it is not visible in the mod interface otherwise.
I have never heard the term "web 3" used in any context other than trying to sell some cryptocurrency, to the point where I cannot take it seriously at all.

So let me get this straight.
1: you put SSNs in plaintext on a web page
2: you get mad that someone clicked "view source"
3: your actual Highway Patrol patrols the information superhighway?

So now, opening Developer Tools and peeking at the HTML code is "hacking":

> “The state is committed to bringing to justice anyone who hacked our systems or anyone who aided them to do so,” Parson continued. “A hacker is someone who gains unauthorized access to information or content. This individual did not have permission to do what they did. They had no authorization to convert or decode, so this was clearly a hack.”
We need to take that term back for the #hacker community.

„Die Benachrichtigung durch die Corona-Warn-App über ein erhöhtes Risiko ermöglicht einen kostenlosen PCR-Test.“ Bitte unbedingt teilen, weil viele das nicht wisse. Und den Test wegen der Kosten evtl. nicht machen. https://www.coronawarn.app/de/faq/#vac_cert_red_warning
