Is it okay to beg for money on Mastodon? -
Is it okay to beg for money on Mastodon?Isn't the point of decentralization that there's room for servers that have a wide range of different policies, and for servers that have no policy at all?

PS. With all the Discord stuff, in case you wonder why you never see me promoting Matrix, it’s not because it’s a usability nightmare (which it is) but because it’s made by the kind of people who’d be happy to call ICE a customer.@freediverx @sotolf @aral @element @LukefromDC
They have, but will they faithfully promise a customer to host stuff only on those servers, and will they be 100% reliable in sticking to that promise?

... It'd probably only last a few hours before someone compiling from source themselves noticed that the builds on the Play Store and the Apple Store were not reproducible, but those few hours would be enough to harvest a *lot* of data.

To some extent, as long as the encryption works, that doesn't matter. I don't want to write them an instruction manual, but if a hostile US government really wanted to break the privacy of Signal Chats, its easier approach would be to use the fact that the Google Play Store and the Apple Store are hosted on US territory to sneak a backdoor into the client apps...

AIUI, Signal rely on third-party hosting (AWS I think), so they don't control where their servers are located.
