Oh, I see. Thank you for the explanation.

You are asking if encryption is enabled on the side of my client? Well, I see Allow key storage is enabled, I haven’t touched it, it’s the default. Disabling it would enable me to read message history or not? (I am not concerned for now with extra security.)

I’ve joined the room from another server, but messages posted before me are displayed as “You don’t have access to this message”. Is this a normal feature of Matrix, a peculiar feature of the server, or a bug? (I’m very new to Matrix and Element)

Which one of these would you recommend then? https://blog.acer.com/en/discussion/1838/10-best-non-chromium-browsers-for-windows

Bluesky has basically bowed to the Turkish regime: https://www.turkishminute.com/2025/04/17/bluesky-restrict-access-72-account-turk-amid-government-pressure/

I wonder why isn’t Friendica more popular by now.

lemmy.world

Why, where is lemmy.world based?

It’s not about “Nerd Standards”, it’s about the fact there are reasons to not deem Mozilla so trustworthy anymore: https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-firefox-i-loved-is-gone-how-to-protect-your-privacy-on-it-now/ (I am linking the article for the facts it points out; in the author’s place, I wouldn’t recommend Brave either).

Sadly, many people I know are staying there instead of figuring Mastodon or Friendica out.

Fun fact: if you mess up captcha verification (due to Internet connection or your human error) during account creation, your account gets instantly suspended and then you receive a shady email that is actually from Bluesky, saying you should send them via email a picture of your ID.

Why not endorse Firefox forks instead?

The conversation in the reddit thread would then be about reddit banning discussion of platforms that apparently threaten theirs

Do note that Substack is US-based and has fash owners.

They’re not meticulous historians though. LGBTQ people were more accepted in the Roman Republic (and in ancient Greek) than today.

“Caius Julius Caesar: husband to all the wives, wife to all the husbands.” was a saying that my Latin professor taught us in school.

Being AMAB and bottom was stigmatized to the point their swearing system revolved around emasculation threats, so that’s different from what the queer movement of today aims for…

Not to mention it’s going to be common knowledge in 20 years from now that IS was designed by you know who to fuel Islamophobia.

If your own child was on the LGBT+ spectrum and was right now in the US, your take would have been way different.

who gives a fuck if they dont sell in EU

They sell in some countries of the EU, but yeah, they don’t serve the entire EU.

I don’t have much programming knowledge, however at this point I’m grateful if I can at least download my FB data - I haven’t tried it yet and, honestly, I’m afraid they might ask for my gov ID. I never wanted to do that, as they tried to when my account, where my main name was my pen name, got busted for “fake name”. Funnily, they didn’t ask for ID anymore when I inputted my legal name! I hate them for doing that - but now I also hate Bluesky for suspending my freshly started alt account and asking for ID via email - which is just bonkers and discourages me from sticking long term to Bluesky. Which sucks cause right now there’s a lot more activity on Bluesky than on even Mastodon, as far as I can tell.

The last poster says: “I found a roundabout way to go at it by transfering the posts to wordpress, I’ll figure it out from there :)” I would have liked more info on that, though I’m afraid there would still be a catch - I don’t use Wordpress anymore and never was a power user, so I’m not sure it would be possible on a free tier to stash an entire Facebook archive on a Wordpress page - and then what about importing it into the fediverse? There should be a guide for this somewhere.

Or you could just use a Mastodon instance with a higher limit of characters, unless you really need intricate formatting and/or more than one picture.
