Sounds like an easy block

Humans are so bad at delayed gratification. Like, I can't even say no to a spicy burrito now though I know it's going to cause me agony in the bathroom later. And we're the ones expected to sacrifice comforts now to save the planet from global warming? Sorry, Earth, we're just a terrible species. Better luck next go-around.

It’s a weird Friday. Since we were off yesterday for the 4th, a ton of people took vacation today so it’s pretty dead at the office. Not that I mind it, just makes for an odd workday 🙂

I was reading through the thread and I got to one post that actually seemed to call out their crap, and I was like alright! Then I noticed the goat avatar and it made a lot more since 😆

Oh! Try to log in securely to Nostr in a browser without a browser plugin. Fun fact, you can’t!
Your nsec private key was compromised? Oh no problem, just change it. Wait, you can’t!
You want to log in to a few different clients to test them out? Fine, but do that too much and you’ll lose your followed accounts! Also, this might just happen randomly anyway, so good luck!

MK_Fain (who I guess is Alex’s wife?) has already confirmed it does not work with IceCubes either

>The API just allows Soapbox/Ditto to work withapps built specifically for Mastodon.
Which at this point is not even the case. Ditto can work with the official Mastodon client, but they've confirmed themselves in Nostr posts it's not working with other Mastodon apps. I attempted to use it with Mona for iOS and the nsec bunker login never works. Not sure why that is.

Any other specific fediverse platforms you're actively looking at? I've tried a few, but keep coming back to Mastodon as it seems to be the most mature with features that I care about.

Can't you basically already do this by limiting the post to whichever audience you choose? So they're getting even more granular with it?

Alright, fine, I'm checking it out and using it to see how it is. Very first impressions? It's Nostr that feels like Mastodon, which is nice.
Now to figure out this stupid nsecbunker bullshit so I can login "securely" with a iOS Mastodon app. Nostr is still Nostr in this regard. Ugh.

I mean, to be fair, we have a pretty established track record of moral stains throughout our history and a lot of that gets glossed over for the most part.

There’s a free tier that’s actually pretty good. Their paid tier includes additional 2FA options, unlimited hide-my-email aliases, and dark web monitoring.
I still find Bitwarden to be superior (their free and paid tier) but the fact that Proton Pass has only been around a year and they’re pretty close speaks a lot to the amount of effort they are putting into it.

Oh, dude, it's Bitcoin there all the way down.
I really tried to use it for a while just to see if I'd get past the initial crap phase of all the "Bitcoin is life" accounts and far-right conspiracy nuts, but I could never find anything redeeming there. At least in its current state. But I don't see how it grows past that with the user base that's on it now.

It’s the first time I’ve heard about it, but it does make sense. Possibly just not widely known. Or I could just be out of the loop 🙂

Hah, I wanted to share this article from It's FOSS News on here but don't want to cause the issue they describe in it, so I won't link to it directly.
They only mention #Mastodon in this article, but would this not be a wider issue on most #fediverse platforms?
Here's the link broken up:

Trying out a self-hosted #Akkomane instance using #SpaceHost and think I’ve found the first missing feature coming from #Mastodon: I’m not able to hide posts from accounts I put into lists from my home feed.
I use this quite a bit for creating news lists and those accounts can be pretty chatty so I don’t want it all over my home feed. Mastodon is able to do this, so I assume this is a limitation of Akkoma.

This is a GREAT blog post about #Threads integration with the #fediverse with a realistic view on how to help safeguard the future of fedi.

That’s where I store mine, but if you try to use any web based clients they’re like “No! Don’t give us your private key! You can, but we don’t recommend it!” But the alternatives are clumsy and not user friendly.

Personally I don’t mind it being loosely moderated, as I think that’s the biggest draw for some people. I don’t mind putting in the work to mute the accounts I don’t care to see stuff from, but I know that’s likely not what most people would want to do.
It just seems so disorganized at this stage without proper onboarding documentation on what you should know on recommended ways to keep your private key secure. I’d like to be able to use a mobile app or something to be able to store my private key and approve or reject logins, but the only thing I’ve been able to find to do that now are browser extensions. And I don’t really want to install that on my work PC.
Maybe it’s just a limitation of the technology, but it’s not a good user experience at all if you’re trying to keep your account secure as possible.
Also, the mobile and web apps are nowhere near as polished as Mastodon. But maybe that’ll improve with time.

Trying to dabble in #Nostr again to get a better understanding of it. I do like the fact that your identity remains the same wherever you interact, but man, if people thought #Mastodon and #ActivityPub was confusing, it's got nothing on Nostr. I'm in IT and understand public/private key pairs and it's still not simple when getting started to me. Unless there's some way they figure out how to drastically ease the onboarding process, I just don't ever see it being adopted by many people.

I know there's a lot of people on the fediverse that feel very differently, but I'm excited about #Threads finally testing #fediverse integration with a public beta. The amount of people I've seen on Threads asking what the fediverse is since this was announced is staggering. If nothing else, I think this will help bring the wider fediverse more into the mainstream.
