I am more than a little surprised to see that Infosec.exchange is the 7th largest mastodon instance, from the perspective of active accounts: https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon
I have seen several communities of governments, security, news, game creators, coding and server administrator types, as well as research communities & open source communities migrate away from other Oligarch run pay-with-your-data as the fraud is Free type Free Web Hosting places, mainly due to the governance and moderation policies and enforcement or not of these policies move to the fediverse as a result.
Independence & non-Oligarch run platforms where to control your own data and have portability is a driving force and with the great increase in solutions for IMPORTING from these Oligarch run Free Web Hosting platforms with their horrible track record of the last 20+ years moving to the open source based #fediverse of #web3 seems to moving at around 200k a month clip on average. As the Oligarch run servers spiral with more and more fraud and compromise of peoples' data on a monthly basis being leaked as a business model playbooks gets old to people as a service so people choose with their logins and absolutely GTFO of these services over to here.
A sustainable growth rate is reasonable, welcome & manageable for server admins as they shield their users from a TON of things that the Oligarch run places embraced / ignored and as more people find out that what makes this place great is the 💯 ad free experience as that is a welcome change.
Thanks for leading the way with your Anti-LLM 'this servers data isn't for your training data sets' in the /about section @jerry. 👍
Just my 2 ¢'s for this Argle Bargle wrrrld, init? 😆🤭
This vulnerability emerges post the integration of ERC-2771 and Multicall standards, with OpenZeppelin identifying 13 sets of vulnerable smart contracts.
@cliffwade Yep! Before the #Fediverse was born (2008). That era (pre-2008) was when the real #Web3 was coined and defined (not the crypto thing) when discussing the #SocialWeb.
A lot of ideas were discussed, which led to #Diaspora and the Fediverse.
Watching old sci-fi like The Phantom Creeps and Bride of the Monster, you get to wondering how Bela Lugosi characters ever thought their plans would work.
The trick is that they're not "mad scientists," they're "disruptive innovators."
