Phishing scammers now helpfully include the steps you need to take to click on their risky link in their texts. I’m sure ‘tuanosali1981@mailbox.org’ has my best interests in mind and is definitely from “the US Postal team.” I definitely shouldn’t question where they got my phone number from and why USPS wouldn’t just return a package to its sender. #scam #phishing #TrustNoOne

My stance towards Meta is that the Fediverse needs two types of servers:

1. Lobby servers that explicitly federate with Meta for the purposes of moving people from Meta to the rest of the Fediverse

2. Exit servers that explicitly defederate with Meta for the purposes of keeping portions of the Fediverse out of reach from Meta

Both approaches not only can co-exist with each other, they might just be complementary.

People who use Meta need a way to migrate towards a space that is friendly, easy-to-use, and allows them to port their social graph.

But People also need a space that’s free from Meta, and allows them to exist beyond the eye of Zuckerberg.

Guess what? People who use Meta now might want to be invisible to Meta later. And people who dislike Meta might need a bridge to contact friends and family through some mechanism that still allows them to communicate beyond Meta’s control.

And thankfully, the Fediverse allows for this.
