I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.
The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.
If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.
The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.
That's not true. There are quite a few geographic #FediVerse sites for the U.K., ranging from Glasgow.Social through Mastodon.Scot to Toot.Wales. And those are the big ones. There are further smaller ones like Mastodon.London and Dorset.Social, and more that I won't name here because I know that they are one person hobby outfits and don't need the pressure.
Im Zuge der Untersuchungen der technischen Probleme rund um das #NRW-#Zentralabitur ist auch eine "komplett ungeschützte #ActiveDirectory-Instanz" gefunden worden.
Entdeckt wurde der ungeschützte #Server mit "wohl Tausenden #Nutzerdaten durch die #Hacker Lilith Wittmann und Fluepke".
Die können froh sein, dass die beiden das entdeckt haben, nur mal so. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass sie die einzigen waren.

#Privacy question from a new #Mastodon user: How easy is it for the #server#admins to scroll through user DMs? Is there anything making it a hassle or are our DMs a click away for admins?
