It’s always interesting for me to read other people’s stories like this because I never ever had any audio issues with Linux. Can’t say the same about Winslow.
I see. I hope I’ll have more time to research how ActivityPub and Fediverse work. I’m sure people much smarter than me spent a lot more time thinking about these things than I have…😅
Well it would prevent others from getting to know your address, preventing harm. Transparency is good, but I’m just afraid that immutable transparency easily be exploited by ill-minded people.
There’s a similar debate in blockchain, where people have put CSAM into the Bitcoin blockchain where it will be forever stored.
I guess it’s the old debate of freedom vs security.
Yes, if I need to choose between the graffiti and the sandblasted outline of it, I’d also pick the graffiti. But if I could power wash the graffiti and make it non-conceivable, I’d prefer that.
Hmm, but why does a social media need to be an immutable storage? I feel like I’m missing something here.
I know some people are against any form of censorship and yes, I see the problem with the question of who can decide what gets deleted when. I’m totally on board here. But is “nothing should ever be deleted” really the best approach?
Genuine question: if someone doxes your address on Lemmy, wouldn’t you want to be able to get it deleted?
Makes sense, thanks for explaining! I don't know much about ActivityPub, but you explained this point well. Also good to know that upvotes and downvotes are public... 😄
I don't wanna go back to Reddit. I know what you mean when you say "nothing is ever truly deleted", but there is a difference between a comment being displayed as "deleted by creator" and the comment not being displayed at all while still existing under the hood.
Everyone, thank you so much for your helpful comments... ❤️ I have learned a lot these two days.
I looked at rsync and borg, and I have ended up using Pika as a GUI for Borg. I am now backing up my data with Pika to two external hard disks over SSH. Both of these external hard disks are encrypted with Pika/Borg. What a wonderful tool!
I wish we could actually migrate our accounts with all of our data…
