  • My problem with decentralised social Media currently is that it’s entirely unencrypted and publically viewable.

    I don’t mind so much on services like Lemmy where it’s a bit of fun to make comments and post random things without it being directly linked to your identity (though I am aware the content is still likely being scraped by someone somewhere).

    I’d really love a Facebook/Instagram replacement, but end-to-end encrypted where only the people you’ve given permission to can view your content.

    No idea how this would be achieved, but PixelFed is pretty useless unless you’re posting publically.

    Expedient texting. Or hanging out, but over distance.

    Riddle me this, call not-likers: what is the difference between calling your friend, over the phone, and calling them on your teamspeak of choice (or whatever is popular these days).

    Is it the impromptu nature of it? Just don’t answer when it’s not convenient then, it’s not the 90s, they can follow up with a text if you can’t pick up.

    Is it the talking to people in general? Then I fail to see why calls are the issue.

    This is assuming you know the personal calling, via callerID.

    Is it you feel more rushed and flustered because you can’t see each other, and thus can’t pick up on visual cues?

    All in all, thoroughly confused why people have an aversion to calls, I think they’re rather expedient and useful. Depending on what’s called for. (I feel this way in both work and social contexts).



  • Me being the way I am, if we worked together in shared folders, I would die.

    My current colleagues already somewhat annoy me by not properly version numbering so you have no clue what file in a unsorted folder is the latest, or naming a folder with a date like: “14 Feb 24” like some hecking heathens.

    YYYY.MM.DD (or other delimiters) or gtfo.

    This concludes my 2 cents only partially related to yours haha
