@cero @urusan Well, there's @iftas now, which does have quite some reach with the media...

My #university 's math department recruits graders from fourth year students (U3+), where one (sometimes two) courses that you've taken are assigned to you, and you're paid a fixed amount (# hours as determined by instructor × C$16/hr. Yes, the university is cheap...). Here's the problem: I've supposedly taken the course I'm grading, but how I had it was completely different from how it is now... It feels like it's taking me more effort to grade than to take the course...

@strypey I think the "prompt opt-in" he's considering now is good, though it is still unclear how he can be rid of himself of that negative reputation.

@rune Say what you want, but as an open-reg (with custom spam filters) instance admin (that does check out each new user), I wish the active user count can be more accurate by removing users that are banned shortly after (since backlink spam on joinmastodon.org-listed instances is ridiculous)... But: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18861

@Arsimael
1. Sliding sync is intended to make things load faster every time you launch your client. Enabling it allows you to use clients that support it (eg. Element X, as well as Element with experimental flag enabled), but it does not affect other clients either way.
2. If you want to support SMS authentication, you would need to host an identity server; see https://github.com/matrix-org/sydent . Maybe you can ask @nicfab since they have some experience on phone number verification on registration.

@fo Yeah, likely since it was reverse-engineered last August: https://www.reddit.com/r/montreal/comments/15tnnwx/opus_en_phone_using_nfc_to_recharge_your_opus_card/ , and there is a clear popular demand for recharging on phone without buying an adapter...

@HCBunny Which is why we have a maintenance planned: https://mstdn.party/@staff/111939619142541337

@Arsimael Maybe... Honestly Matrix doesn't have the best branding... I'd think Matrix 2.0 as "this is our (plan for the) next step" rather than, say, something concrete.

@wyatt8740 Did you set up a recovery key when you register? Also cc. @deepbluev7

@sentinian I strongly advise you not to invent a new fetish...

@lowficarrots I have a friend who used Signal because Edward Snowden recommended it... So you could sell that...

Fedi never fails to amaze me how many ways one can write an #introduction ...

在象上写自我介绍的方法实在是太多了……

#FediCard

@lowficarrots I'd say Matrix is still hopeful. Given the coverage (albeit quite techy) and a new director for the Foundation, I'd say things are going in the right direction (albeit quite slowly). (You probably knew that I wrote a guide for it...)

@w27 据说小家伙被警察抓了……

@harrym @futzle
> why would the police care about fedi spam
AFAIK Misskey.io and the "Kuroneko Server" group both called police in Japan; the former likely for obstruction and cybercrimes related to spamming, the latter likely for defamation (they were defamed in the initial spam prompt as "a doxxing group"). The kid also had several opsec failures that leaked their identity. Though, I suppose that it's much harder for a more sophisticated spam wave to end this way...

On a certain platform it is said that a UBC student is commuting to #Vancouver from Calgary by plane... claiming it's cheaper than #renting ? Really?? Is the #HousingCrisis this bad now???

某平台上说有UBC学生天天坐飞机从卡尔加里通学……还比租房子便宜？这靠谱吗？？租房危机已经成这样了吗？？？

@jonah I mean...

@dreua @eighthave @timbray As explained in another post, you can change it at any time without repercussions, since it's just a pointer to your account.

@Jerry I had them on my two instances back on January 19 (however other instances claimed that such account have been there and rested dormant for 4 years); they were caught by my spam filter. Both accounts are on IP 23.95.14.239 and 198.46.149.20 with language zh-CN and email yq19820430@gmail.com. tinynews.org appears to be an SEO spam site that scrapes content from various popular Chinese platforms.

@taiyo In principle I'm still allowing Tor users to register, but with a catch: new accounts will be suspended with a message asking them to write an appeal (using the function within Mastodon) describing the purpose of the account. Same for accounts that get caught by my spam filter.

@lowficarrots Well what's the price difference there? Hope it's not as bad as Canada...

@anthropy I run https://joinmatrix.org and you're welcomed to contribute! As for hosting, personally I just use matrix-docker-ansible-deploy.

@davidpmaurer How do you make sure the pots don't end up being concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs?

(This somewhat refers to how Russia tried to give out stocks of ex-state-owned enterprises to everyone, but found the stocks going back to the oligarchs, as the population sold them for pennies during the economic crisis.)

@anthropy Unfortunately, recently they tried to pull a subsctiption model on their community users...

Decided to call an online friend-of-a-friend out (on short notice...) and visited this #BubbleTea #shop . Ordered a green tea #boba , and while it tastes pretty good, it's quite expensive (large "Kyoto" $8.75+tx). The place got a wall with comic books lining up the shelves and a book mural, but overall the place is a bit small. Anyways, we talked about life and career and stuff, and I earned two friends (who beared with my infodump), so that's cool.

@imthehumanoid Well, there's the availability bias... We see those people more often even though they are unlikely to be the majority...

Still, since I use my "real" name here, and I'm an admin of a public instance, I try to be careful on my interactions, so honestly, it may be safer to say less...

@lowficarrots Just $40 for 300 down? Yeah, no, we don't have that in Canada (assume regular pricing - no "first 12 month" discounts or whatever, since they require negotiations)...
