  • There can be nice people who are bad at tech, just like there’s racist technologists

    Just because a group of nice well meaning Lemmy users is willing to suffer the pain of a poorly built app doesn’t mean they should /have/ to suffer through it

    It’s sometimes nice to make nice things. Don’t be too much of an HOA, they’re new, it’s not the end of the world.

    Just because I’m not afraid of biking with cars, doesn’t mean I don’t recognize that American biking infrastructure is hostile. We could do more to make biking safer and easier. They’ll struggle but they’ll get the hang of it.

    So too, with making nice apps to free the lay people from their digital walled gardens.



  • “LGB without the T” is transphobic. Most pride folks will know you mean well if you say LGBT. They’ll know you’re an ass if you say LGB Alliance. The other parts are, for example, if gays have marriage rights but transgender folks can’t get healthcare. Intersectionality is about how marginalized folks should band together in recognizing that different kinds of marginalized folks (color of your skin, your age, disability) are marginalized in similar ways. Privileged folks haven’t experienced the friction and frustration other folks have.

    but yeah, as long as you say LGBT instead of LGB…



  • I mean, delta.chat exists…

    The other way would be a dht of hashed email addresses or hashed keys, but then you could look up live email addresses to send spam to.

    The magic of tor v3 is that the plain address record is needed for some time based calculations about the dht record, e.g. they publish the descriptor’s of the site using the public key as a reverse lookup

    But that wouldn’t work to obscure the email or use the email as a lookup because the dht wouldn’t have a way to prove the record was true to that email, unless it was sending emails from it

    I guess that leaves DNS records or some kind of activity pub system with webfinger
