De beheerder van de populaire instance mastodon.social heeft wat hardware besteld, omdat z’n database server de enorme toestroom niet houdt.
Er zijn echter leveringsproblemen, waardoor mensen op deze instance vertraging of uitval kunnen ervaren.
Dit is dus ook het risico, maar ook de romantiek, van een decentraal netwerk in beheer van liefhebbers.
Maar goed, je bent nu niet meer onderdeel van de polariserende advertentieprofielopbouwende moneymaking algoritmes van miljardenbedrijven ;-)
If I could share one thing that can make or break your experience here it is this: curiosity
This place will not tell you what to like, what to think, or trick you into participating. You have to be curious about things as a result
You have to click on profiles, followers, & hashtags. You have to respond to toots. You're helping build a community!
By the same token, inspire curiosity in others by complimenting others, boosting what you like, tooting on #FollowFriday
Rewards await
But it did remind of a particular service that uses end-to-end encryption and therefore can't read your messages: Signal. If you are concerned about true privacy, good service to use. Also, their take on it entertains me:
Toots about "instance admins can read your DMs" have been going around. This is true and you should be aware of it!
You should also be aware that it's true of social media and email services broadly: the companies that run the service store your messages and can read them.
