As Mastodon grows, at some point there _will_ be a meltdown of some big instance into which tons of people put their trust and then the admin turns out not to be trustworthy (like the MtGox incident in Bitcoin). Even if it's a few hundred people affected, it will be major negative news.

People need to be educated about the role and power of instance admins.

The reason we refer to "core" memory or "core dump" is because how early memory was actually designed. These are magnetic cores with wire woven through (by hand, I might add) which contained program instructions

Core memory went away when silicon took over in the mid 70s

People are brainstorming new logos for Mastodon in this GitHub issue:

I really like the direction https://github.com/SamSaramyak's is going:

"Lastpass is storing the 2FA secret seed under a URL that can be derived from your password. This literally beats the entire purpose of 2FA which, as mentioned above, is a layer of security to prevent attackers already in possession of the password from logging in"
