For Matrix “good security practices,” I assume both parties of the conversation need to follow them? I’ve already got a VPN, but I don’t think all of the people I want to communicate with have one.
In case you can’t tell, I’m passionate about rationality and critical thinking.
However, I still appreciate a freshly-baked π.

On this note, I’m looking for a way to communicate with foreign (and local) friends that is relatively safe. So many people primarily use apps that I no longer trust, but I’m not sure what solution would be both safe and practical. Anyone have any suggestions?
Isn’t .world the most populous instance? Hmm…
This is interesting. I get the impression that some admin/mods truly don’t understand how the Fediverse operates. They ban one (or a few) instance name(s), but there are so many more that they might not even recognize as Lemmy links, which get past the radar.
At the same time, there are fears here that .world could become disproportionately powerful compared to other instances, due to its high user count.
So in a way, Reddit blocking traffic to .world while permitting links to other instances can benefit us all. Smaller instances gain users, which is an important step toward balancing things out and keeping any one instance from becoming too powerful. Thanks, Reddit!
(I recognize the irony of saying this while having a .world account. I wasn’t aware of its standing in Lemmy when I made it. I am also still learning the Fediverse myself and don’t know how to transfer my account to another instance yet.)
