@chuck apologies if I "sounded" pedantic. That wasn't my intention. 😊

@chuck unless you're doing zone transfers. 😁

I read this pretty bias article on #Mashable, and thought if tweet the writer to see what his thoughts were now. I knew that Twitter account would come in handy for something!

@iced_gecko I use Signal. Problem is, a lot of people I know, don't. I'd say 95% of my messaging is still done through WhatsApp, which is a real shame.

@ignitionigel 🤢🤢🤢🤢

@hugo @mastohost never mind, stayed working when I did the mention myself. Weird.

@hugo for some reason, the @ mention of @mastohost is taking to the webui, rather than allowing me to follow on here. I assume it's because the account isn't fedorated yet or something?

@mike yeah, seems fine. It's resolves all my domain names, so that's good. 🙂

Even if quad 9 and 1.1.1.1 are just slightly better than my ISP or Google, in terms of privacy, then I'm happy.

Can't say for sure if they are or not though, but at least they have both literally stated they're not keeping using data.

I really should set up a vpn...

@Ghosty yep, sync finished over night and all it well with the little Pi. Very happy!

@mike I'm using it as my secondary, and quad 9 as my primary.

So my SSD finally turned up today, and I have set up my #RasperryPi 3+ running #Nextcloud. So far, the whole process has been relatively painless, and the little Pi seems to be holding up fairly well. There have been a few timeouts, but I think that’s due to the amount of data being synced.

@svedi @fatboy I think it probably had something to do with the date. 🤔

@funbreaker problem with replacing whatsapp (here in the UK at least), is no one really uses anything else. So there's no real point in using an alternative messenger if no one uses it.

So this perpetual cycle continues. Such a shame, as there are some great alternatives out there.

@DelusionalAI as @mike said, I don't believe so. Many apps do support multiple accounts though, so you could sign up and flip between the two.

@ignitionigel @tek @tootdon @Gargron ultimately though, there's always going to be some level of trust required for any service of this kind.

If it makes anyone feel more comfortable, I can categorically say that I have NEVER read any toots in the admin system, unless I'm checking an reported account.

Also, I am NOT doing anything with Toot data. It exists on this server and this server alone. @mike is also an admin.

@ignitionigel @tek @tootdon mwahaha that was first mistake.

Joking aside. In the midst of #deletefacebook a few privacy concerns have come to light on mastodon too. For example, admins can see ALL toots on an instance. "Private" or otherwise.

Important note: mastodon doesn't have "Private messaging", it has 1:1 messaging only. I know this has been raised to @Gargron and options are being explored of maybe having a warning msg.

@DelusionalAI I've always enjoyed chess, but never been that good at it. I think my problem is that I don't think far enough ahead.
