Hi, I’m Stanford. I’m 27 and have a passion for #technology, mainly #networking, #linux and #servers.
I enjoy tinkering with different servers and stuff, I just like to learn things by doing it 😜
It sounds like military service with cameras 😆
I wonder if it is somewhat related to that?

Now do it with IPv6 😅
I would not say, people absolutely trust corporations.
You can probably ask any stranger o the street if Facebook is trustworthy and they all would say something about FB doing weird stuff with their data.
They all know!
But people have a limit on how many issues they can care about.
We decided that privacy is an issue, others might decide that the issues their sister is facing in life are an issue, or just how to pay the next month’s rent.
So, they just use Facebook, google and co. because that is what works, what is there and done. No time to think any further about it!
So, if you wanna get wide adoption for privacy-friendly alternatives, stop solely selling the privacy aspect.
The fediverse is great, but all the people who care about the benefits of it are already here.
Now try to reach those who don’t care that Twitter is a mess, they are just there because all the others are too.
They use it to communicate and not because it is great. The same applies to most other platforms too.
I liked Reddit because it’s one platform where you find literally anything! You wanna talk about energy drinks? There is a subreddit.
You wanna know what this thing is you just found on the street? Just post a picture someone definitely knows!
Looking through the rest of the comments, I think there were already enough explanations.
Making the accusation towards Lemmy that admins can see passwords in clear text is misleading.
It suggests that this is different from other platforms, which it is not. All admins can get your password from/for their respective websites.
Either by logging the traffic before the password gets hashed or by modifying the application so that the password gets transferred in plaintext.
This applies to Lemmy, Facebook, Google and literally any other service where you enter a password.
What you are saying is somewhat misleading 😒
But did you know over 50k people can see your Facebook password 🤔
But seriously, everything you send to a website/server can, of course, also be seen by it.
This has always been the case everywhere. I am a little surprised that this is suddenly something new…
I bet his instances will be one of the few actually federating with them 😔
