A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Well IANAL, but the main concern raised in this article seems to be GDPR related questions of sharing of personal data. The GDPR however has a relatively narrow definition of what "personal data" means. Public posts are AFAIK not "personal data" under the GDPR.
To my knowledge Mastodon does not exchange "personal data" as defined by the GDPR (such as email addresses etc.) between instances.
I can totally see what this person means, but let's be honest Mastodon is a social media, everything is public. Centralized or decentralized it's a bad idea to implement e2ee in a social media platform
for example, if you are an old fashioned investor, you want to block instances with people interested in cryptocurrencies and NFTs
I could also have other reasons and in fact other reasons are the most shared idea in the environment where I am.
he or she will see...
I guess here is where this person stands even if made a reference to LGBTQ+ before.
One thing I see is that this person doesn't explain abbreviations like EDPS or GDPR like if the reader was gonna to understand at instant. The second word, maybe, but not the first.
Maybe a bit strategic as the first would cause doubts about the ideas in the post given that is the European Data Protection Supervisor...
