Finally we know why Threads doesn't federate with metalhead.club: We are "violating the community guidelines or terms of use!"@jdp23 @thomas @paul doesn’t authorized fetch have 2 different levels? like one is where there is still a public timeline, posts can still be looked at on their own page (like my instance has) and the other level is where these things are no longer possible and you can only access posts through a fedi interface. since threads clearly blocks instances for not having a publicly visible feeds, that would mean they automatically have to block every instance that has this level of authorized fetch active

twitter used to be like: aww, i put all this work into this post and it only received 230 retweets, i don’t know why i bothertwitter used to be like: aww, i put all this work into this post and it only received 230 retweets, i don’t know why i bother
fedi is like: oh no, this post received 36 boosts, people in my real life will probably end up talking to me about it, i am scared

okay how do i actually just … send files… to other people? my mail server has a low file size limit. i don’t have a webserver lying around at home. i don’t want to give just anyone ssh access ??? apart from the fact that most people don’t even know wha...@erincandescent @irenes oh this looks really neat and simple

but also what the xz debacle shows: open source software is really hard to secretly backdoorbecause some rando will be like “huh, this command is taking 0.5 seconds longer than it used to, let me check what’s going on here”like can you believe that tha...oh god my point is not “open source always secure” it’s “open source much harder to secretly backdoor than closed source”

like can you believe that that’s how it got found out? not someone going “i will check the code of this package for security issues” or “i double check commits as a hobby”. just “huh, let me check what’s going on here”
