Took a break but now i am back! Hello World!

So the mastodon.social privacy policy is ok, but if I were the maintainer I'd avoid recording any IP addresses. One thing to consider is that when you're a meganode both state and non-state organisations will become interested in your logs and will try to obtain them either explicitly, with goons showing up and making threats, or also less explicitly with implants and exfiltration or NSLs and gagging orders. If you don't record IPs then in the worst case there's not much that third parties can get.

Another factor to consider is that the demographic of fediverse folks probably includes a higher proportion of non-normative views and lifestyles than you might find in the silos. These non-normative people are precisely the groups which the really bad guys always seek to target. So as maintainer you should be concerned with your user's interests and practice metadata minimization which can limit any potential damage.

#Mastodon, One of the greatest social experiments in federated technology known to man kind.

I hate company's that do not document their network ports.

Just ate a vegetarian dinner, was pretty good.

Tor, HTTPS everywhere, a VPN. All easy and all a good idea now that ISPs are going to sell literally WHATEVER they want concerning your private information. Privacy is your right.

Any mobile applications that will run Mastodon?

Opinions on encrypting SD cards for mobile phones?

The Ruby library for interacting with the Mastodon client API is in dire need of completion. If you're looking for ways to contribute code, I think that's a good starting point github.com/tootsuite/mastodon-
