@newt IThat feature may be on the cards, it takes time, money and expertise to develop these things.
@newt I agree, people here want to interact, however i think twitter is more about me me me. Fedi is about all of us interacting

I've been on Twitter for a week now and had zero people interacting with me. Literally zero. Even though I followed a dozen people and tried participating in some discussions.
How is Twitter still going? Do people just ignore each other there? This year it'll be five years since I'm on fedi and, in all honesty, most instances here are a lot more welcoming

Linux User: "I want year of Linux on the desktop!"
Linux Mom: We have desktop at home.
Desktop at Home: dozens of incompatible distros, at least 4 incompatible packaged application "standards", "put everything in ~" vs XDG, whining about drivers, refusing to accept drivers if they're not in user's license of choice, etc.

Perhaps we need to provide good quality information so people can make their own decisions.

@miren @zleap @foxmask @selea fair enough. We all have to make that call for ourselves. Having worked for companies offering those services for money, I know that I'm as capable as the folks running lots of those systems, and I've got self-interest as well, so I'm happy to back myself in that role. :)
Yiou need to understand the issue so you can recruit the right people to help make things secure.
Weare short of cybersecurity experts here in the UK too.
@miren @lightweight @foxmask @selea
I feel hhe same way I can set up a raspberry pi, sort of set up Apache or ngnix to serve basic web pages but doing all that securely is beyond me

Global Corruption Barometer EU: People worried about unchecked abuses of power

The person who helped start all this chaos has just been knighted and given the UKs highest honour
All due to non existent WMD in Iraq.
@extraspecialk @wildgoose @dsfgs
A good reason to move away from these large centralised services then
@becassine Can we make managers obsolete?
Hmm opposite to my experience I have had e-mails where a long signature includes about e-mail not being secure.
Unless we get GnuPG or similar as part of basic IT training then people will think opposite extremes.
If banks signed their e-mail it would be much better and probably easier to spot scams
It would be good to know why less and less people are using it, so that can be addressed.

GPG is a good way round people reading your e-mails providing the recipients also understand and use it.
Disroot.org offer free e-mail, cloud and a good few other services, what are you looking for and may be the community can suggest sonething.
