Encryption With A Back Door Is NOT Encryption (ktetch.co.uk)
 

There’s been an increasing call in recent weeks and months for encryption to have government ‘backdoors’ put into them. This is a bad idea. No really, it’s an incredibly bad idea. Even if we took the assumption that it is a push that’s made with only the purest of intentions, and the government universal key is kept 100% safe and secure and never leaked or misused, it’s still a really, unbelievably, stupid idea.

Russian media releases declassified documents on the Holocaust – report in c/worldnews@kbin.social

@Speckle on the other side, what they report is quite consistent with the archival materials in Yad Vashem and USHMM.

Conservatives are now boycotting Kellogg’s over a picture at the Tony’s in c/lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org
[–] kjr@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

@cowvin I think real conservatives disappeared. Now self called conservatives in America are mostly neofascists and alt-rightists with the behavior of football holligans.

Was anyone else surprised to see Kbin being written in PHP? in c/programming@beehaw.org
[–] kjr@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

@WatTyler No really. I have seen that PhP developers are moving to other languages, but at the same time I have been involved in new projects using it (I'm not a PhP developer).

@ernest Great update! Thanks a lot and take care of your self!

Quick, make as many Magazines as possible! in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[–] kjr@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

@Warped I think we have here a big potential issue. Magazines have been created and the moderator hasn't post yet anything. After some days it is difficult to believe that she/he is taking responsibility of them.
The result is that everyone can post there without any moderation, and become a quite unsafe area. I think if a magazine has been opened and in a few days there is not post of the moderator, it should be deleted.

Beehaw is defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, two large lemmy instances in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[–] kjr@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

@LollerCorleone What I understood was that the moderation was difficult now, due not only to the size of the instances but also with the fact that almost all the people were new and the communities are not stable yet.
Since they have a quite high moderation standard, I guess that now, with few resources and a fast grow, it is difficult to keep it. And this standard is a commitment to the own community, people joint the instance because of it.
Another issue to take in account is that the moderation tools are not enough to handle with the problems of big and heterogeneous social networks. If I understood, in Lemmy and Kbin the only possibilities are to be federated or not, but not something in between like in Mastodon (the silence option).
