The biggest threat to your privacy, security, civil liberties, rights, and justice is not Russia, China, the United States, or any other country. It is not nationalism, fascism, libertarianism, or any other political ideology.
Your greatest threat is also something everyone wants — including you: money.
Money changes incentives. Corporations will sell you out for it. Governments will look the other way when it benefits them. And in the right circumstances, even friends or family may turn against you for it.
Money — or more precisely, the pursuit of wealth — is one of the most powerful forces shaping human behavior, and often the one most capable of overriding trust, ethics, and principle.

You misunderstand. The government is not ignoring this. They are encouraging this.
All those new laws for age verification, for example, are to prevent you from using an operating system or ROM that cannot be minored or controlled. Blocking reCAPTCHA on a non-approved, non-certified government and corporate sanctioned devices is just 1 piece of the big picture.

I understand why they have the limitation. No one wants anyone abusing the system. But if you lock it so tightly that you cannot have a group conversation with 4-5 people, that's a bit overbearing.

2026-05-09 21:09:21 CEST

I like Misskey because it has more features and fewer limitation. However, it can also be locked down more too, so if you have someone micromanaging everything it can be a pain too.

残念ながら、これはMisskeyのバグではないと思います。というのも、別のMisskeyサイトでは正常に動作しているからです。もしすべてのMisskeyサイトで同じ問題が発生しているのであれば、Misskey自体の問題だと考えます。しかし、実際にはすべてのMisskeyサイトで起きているわけではなく、ここでだけ発生しているようです。
それでもこれがバグだと思われるのであれば、報告していただけますか？私はGitHubアカウントを持っておらず、Microsoftでアカウントを作成する予定もありません。また、あなたはエラーログも持っていますし、もし本当にバグであるなら、私よりも有用なバグレポートを作成できる立場にあると思います。
Unfortunately, I suspect this is not a Misskey bug because it works on another Misskey site. If this happened on all Misskey sites, then I would believe it was a Misskey issue. However, this is not happening on all Misskey sites; it only seems to be happening here.
If you still feel this is a bug, could you please report it? I do not have a GitHub account and have no plans to create an account with Microsoft. You also have the error logs, and if this were a bug, you would be in a much better position to generate a useful report than I would.

2026-05-08 07:57:49 CEST

サイトに何か問題があるようです。例えば、スレッドに複数の投稿がある場合でも、そのうちの一部しか表示されないことがあります。
私は以前からこの問題に気づいていましたが、以前のバージョンにはいくつか不具合があったため、Misskey側のバグだと思っていました。しかし、現在はサイトが更新されているので、問題はMisskey自体ではないと分かりました。
3枚のスクリーンショットを見れば、このサイト、あるMastodonサイト、そして別のMisskeyサイトが表示されているのが分かると思います。最後の返信が表示されていないのは、このサイトで見た場合だけです。また、私は別の場所でもアカウントを作成しましたが、この問題が起きるのはここだけだと気づきました。時々、このサイトでは投稿が表示されなくなることがあります。
実際、これはまさに完璧な例です。というのも、その投稿は単なる無関係な投稿ではなく、私宛ての投稿だったからです。
There seems to be an issue with the site. For example, even when there are multiple posts in a thread, sometimes only some of them are displayed.
I had noticed this problem some time ago, but as the previous version had a few glitches, I assumed it was a bug on Misskey’s end. However, as the site has now been updated, I realise the problem does not lie with Misskey itself.
If you look at the three screenshots, you will see a screenshot from this site, a Mastodon site, and another Misskey site are displayed. The last reply is not shown only when viewed on this site. I have also created accounts elsewhere, but I have noticed that this problem occurs only here. Occasionally, posts stop appearing on this site.
This is actually a perfect example, because the post is not a random post, but rather a post addressed toward me.

People are so very focused with the war in Iran, that they often forget ICE is still roaming the streets, and over 5,000 people who have been "obtained" have vanished never to be heard from again. Those who are "released" are often done so in remote areas without any identification, phone, or money on them and are left in the middle of nowhere. Often during bad weather or poor climate.

これらのサイトをめぐる騒動の背景には、ある会社が Mastodon Dot Cloud を運営していたものの、管理がずさんだったという事情があります。登録が誰でもできる状態だったこと自体は問題ではなかったのですが、アクティブなスタッフがいませんでした。その結果、1年以上にわたって悪意のあるユーザーがこの状況を悪用し、スパムアカウントの作成、詐欺行為、ユーザーへの嫌がらせ、さらには大量のボットの流入が発生しました。
管理者は2023年または2024年以降（約2〜3年前）投稿を行っておらず、サイトの更新も停止していました。Mastodonのサポートが終了したブランチ（4.1.x）を使用しており、既知のセキュリティ問題も抱えていました。この状況は深刻な懸念を招き、多くのFediverseインスタンスが接続を解除し、フェデレーションを切る対応を取りました。
1年以上の放置の後、最近になって誰かがサイトを4.2.xにアップグレードしましたが、これも既にサポートが終了したブランチで、既知のセキュリティ脆弱性を含んでいました。突然の非告知アップデートではあったものの、依然としてサイトを監視・管理するスタッフはおらず、スパム、詐欺、嫌がらせ、ボットなどの問題は続いていました。その後まもなく、サイトは安定して稼働できない状態になり始めました。
現在のMastodonのバージョンは4.5.9で、次期メジャーリリースである4.6は現在ナイトリー開発版として活発に開発されています。これらのサイトは更新から数年遅れていました。
Mstdn Dot JPも残念ながら Mastodon Dot Cloud と同じ運営者によって管理されていました。ただし、こちらには少なくともスタッフが存在し、比較的クリーンな状態を維持していました。それでも同様に、セキュリティ上の問題を抱えた非常に古いバージョン（4.1.x）を使用していました

You'e absolutely, right. It is why I prefer a Misskey site as my home site. I think people use Mastodon because it has that more twitter-like layout, but it is severely lacking in features and compatibility within the Fediverse. I worry about that compatibility because if most sites were to completely rely on a single development, that could spell trouble within the decentralized network.

Misskey has something Mastodon does not - A remove follower option.
This is a lot easier than blocking someone and hoping they don't notice. From an admin prospective it is also better than having users with a block list a mile long.
A reminder, Gaza Verified is a scam. It always was a scam. And their bots follow hundreds and thousands of people, because they try to use your follow list and your engagements as marketing.

My biggest issue in seeking new employment will be being a 45-year-old with virtually no verifiable work experience, because all my previous employers no longer exist. That, I imagine, will be my biggest concern. My lack of personal references because of this, plus everyone I once knew being dead (COVID), only compounds that problem.
I work for Meta, but not Meta USA, even though I am in the USA. They transferred me around the time they switched me from hourly to salary, when the work-from-home program ended up being more than a pilot program. My boss is on the other side of the planet and hasn’t communicated directly with me for months. Honestly, during the last round of layoffs, I was certain I was going to be included, but the person who said we needed to talk about my performance ended up being laid off themselves, and so no one ever rescheduled that meeting. That said, the fact that my supervisor is on the other side of the planet means possible future employers are going to need to reach out during their time zone, compared to ours.
Meta (Facebook) may look nice on my resume, but I am uncertain whether it will be a pro or a con. That said, perhaps I am overthinking things, and six years here should be enough to stand out. This is all to say, I am just as curious (and concerned) as you are.
For now, I’m still employed and working here. All this worry could be for nothing, but my time off was very much needed. Putting my employment status aside, the job itself can sometimes be soul-crushing. I see things that shouldn’t exist (things I don't usually talk about), yet they do, and they can get to you after a while.

2026-04-22 18:21:48 CEST

I needed to get away from work (Meta) and take some time off, so I lied and told them my “great aunt” passed away.
The past few days at work have been insane — more than usual.
I’m just fed up with the way things are run under our current policies, so I needed to escape and take some time away.
There are rumors of layoffs soon, and I already have three write-ups within the past year for doing what I felt was morally and ethically right, even though it went against policy because of “freedom of speech.” If I am going to be laid off (I don’t know that, but it’s possible), I’d rather it happen while I’m still being paid and able to relax, instead of slaving away for this corporation and doing its dirty work.
I also hope that if layoffs do happen, someone currently on “bereavement” might be in a safer position.
I’m not trying to lose my job, but I am also having a harder time stomaching this job while innocent people are being hurt by our policies, and we reward bad people for behaving poorly.
A grown man, for example, should not have the “right” to imply some young woman experiencing a clear mental crisis should end her life for wanting equality and justice, while implying her purpose is only to “breed,” and our policy shouldn’t claim this is “freedom of speech” because no lines were technically crossed. Or a MAGA supporter shouldn’t be implying people “find people” who are anti-fascist and imply “something” should be done to resolve their place in the world, and it too is allowed because technically, somehow, this is also “freedom of speech.” Nor should I be required to forward someone to our legal department for review simply because a woman let it slip she may have had an abortion, and the state she lived in has decided they’re retroactively punishing people for their past choices made with their own bodies.
I dislike my job, but I also find my work history isn’t worth much because all the places I previously worked no longer exist. And everyone I personally once knew died years ago during COVID. I have been here at Meta for nearly six years now, and I hope that is enough verified experience that I can use to find another form of employment, if needed. But damn Meta for changing things in favor of Trump and his goons. Fuck, Mark Zuckerberg, you damn dirty bastard.

Motorola was my first smartphone (Moto X4). Before that, I had always been using a flip phone, and before that, those old brick phones. I avoided so-called smartphones for years and was the last person I knew who had not yet gotten one.
I bought my X4 closer to the end-of-life phase because it was my first smartphone, and I hadn’t yet learned everything I know now. But I learned that Motorola is not great for long-term usage.
Motorola has the habit of releasing so many makes and models in a single year that, even with the 3,000-character limit here on Misskey, I don’t think I could list every model and variation they released in the last year or two. For example, there were four to six different versions of the Motorola G7. But even though I bought my phone early, they dropped support for it pretty early on in practice. I say “in practice” because their documentation claimed longer support, when in reality it was cut off sooner.
I decided to go with a brand I trusted, which was Nokia. That was a big mistake, because buying the Nokia 5.3 meant finding out Nokia had recently discontinued the option to unlock the phone, and they pushed out an update that bricked many devices.
My Google Pixel 7 is only my third smartphone. It is fully unlocked and is running GrapheneOS. Clearly, as you can tell, I don’t phone-hop. I buy a device and expect it to last.
If Android continues down this path, and somehow GrapheneOS doesn’t continue, I will either buy my first Linux phone or consider going back to flip phones while they still make them, which, surprisingly, they do. If that were not an option, my next phone will be something imported from Europe or China, outside the direct control of the United States.
Of course, the absolute worse case is I stop relying on cellular phones.

That’s one of the reasons I’m not an Apple user. In fact, I have a hard time understanding Apple users, because you’re paying for a premium brand name that offers fewer choices, uses older tech (I still laugh that the $1,000 iPhone was using USB-C v2), is designed to slow down with every update to encourage you to buy the latest model, and — when Apple sometimes decides to discontinue your device (for example, those poor people who bought the last Intel model were in for a surprise only a few months after its release) — you’re completely abandoned, with virtually no legacy support, turning it mostly into a paperweight.
In fact, if it weren’t for Fedora Asahi Remix, most Apple computers would be e-waste paperweights. iPhones and iPads, however, do quickly become unsupported paperweights, since you’re quickly locked out of the store and stop receiving updates.
And about the Apple Store… that is it. Your choice is the Apple Store or bust. You cannot side-load apps or install apps from a third-party store or website, and you’re completely a prisoner to Apple’s whims. They even decide which apps can or cannot be installed on Apple devices. You don’t actually own your device.
Apple should not be successful, and yet so many people choose it. And why? Because it’s pretty? lol

My job at Meta has gotten a little easier.
For years, there has been a group of people promoting a type of content involving relationships that aren’t considered the social norm. To get around filters, they would post modified screenshots from another social media platform that allowed this content.
Feeling both thankful and curious about why I hadn’t seen this behavior recently, I checked out the other platform. It seems they’ve finally cleaned house and removed that type of content.
About time — it took them a few years. I just wish they had done it sooner.

2) Today is March 25, 2026. This claims the issue (whatever it was) took place September 9, 2024 — 1 year, 6 months, and 16 days ago (562 days ago).
People have been saying the moderation on Mastodon Dot Social is bad, but this is ridiculous.
3) Since my account was deleted — Or should have been — I have no idea what this is even about. 🤷

What would be a good immutable Linux distro, sometimes called an atomic distro?
First, accept that no matter what phrase you use — atomic vs. immutable — someone will claim you’re using the wrong term. There’s still disagreement in the tech community about the correct terminology for this type of Linux distro.
That said, for the average consumer (home users — most of you reading this), these types of distros are still “new.” By new, I mean they are still establishing themselves. Having said that, if your overall goal is to have a Linux distro that is rock-solid, automatically updates itself, can automatically recover itself, and you mostly just want a basic system — meaning you primarily plan to browse the web, work with documents, stream movies and music, and print or scan files — then an immutable/atomic distro will be fine for you. You should also be comfortable accepting that most apps will come from the app store (Flatpak) rather than installing them manually.
Yes, you can technically add layers to such distributions and customize them to your heart’s desire. You can geek out just as much as you would on any other system. But understand that this requires extra effort, and it’s generally not the primary focus of these systems. The main goal is for users who want a “set it and forget it” system that just works out of the box with a GUI (graphic user interface)
Assuming you are coming from Microsoft Windows, you should first decide between KDE Plasma and GNOME. I recommend KDE Plasma, as it will be the more visually familiar and include the most easily found, easiest-to-use graphical interface settings and options — keeping everything simple and “point-and-click.” Out of the box, it will look closest to Windows 10 or Windows 7. If you prefer a layout more like Windows 8, while still offering many easy-to-use settings (though fewer than KDE), GNOME would be a better choice. GNOME may also be a better option if you’re using a device with a touchscreen, just as Windows 8 was better suited for touchscreens.
Next, it all comes down to what you're looking for from your system.
