honestly can't stand any more "OMG THE MWF " articles any more. The writer's festival is more open, a bit different and not just people sitting on a panel and talking at people. What's wrong with that? What is seriously wrong with that? I used to be excited to go, then I got bored, and now I'm excited again. Surely you want people to GO TO THE FESTIVAL
is mastodon still going? i've been away
aus.social eh?

lists! are they all public?
also i cannot believe i am the first person to raise this - where is the raising obvious issues department?
i’m not mad i’m disappointed
no actually i am quite cross - who do I yell at to get this changed?
and why do any admins need to read people’s dms anyway? that’s really basic - if you’re building a social network that replaces the shit ones - surely that is one of the first things you would build into it
ok the argument that twitter can read dms as well doesn’t fly - as far as twitter is concerned dms being kept private is a key part of their business model - for mastodon rando admins it is not - mastodon (whoever that is) needs to fix it/change it otherwise it is not going to work - you cannot “sell” non private dms to people on twitter and expect them to come over - do not toot me
so it seems the privacy issues on here are going to be its undoing - if admins can view your dms and so on its not going to work

@firstdogonthemoon They get banned, or if they make a server then the server gets banned, it's so good.
when do the nazis get here!?

There are a couple security risks inherent to this platform:
1) When someone follows you from a different instance, the admins get access to all your toots and DMs.
2) Anybody can impersonate you by joining a different instance with your username and claiming to be you.
