If I were them I’d post the full content on the internal slack, which cannot be problematic, thus making it very easy for anyone to have plausible deniability if they leaked the information outside.

I've never been involved in this heavier side of network infrastructure, but I have reported on hundreds of cases over the years on ThreatWire, and how easily things catch fire.

This shit ain't overblown folks. It takes an army to keep a platform working as normal.

I’m not going to tolerate a cult of reality deniers. Simply mentioning that most of company (bird) has been fired or quit is not political or biased.
If you’re going to continue hallucinogenic nonsense to everyone online, you’re going to find it increasingly difficult to exist

lol I had someone comment a much more polite version of that on my last stream and I was just like 🤦‍♂️ I don't get how some people are able to ignore the basic facts, or treat reporting on facts as "political"

@aaronpk Ah. Weren't you the one who wrote it's PHP implementation? Or didn't you help with it?

I later rebuilt an PHP ActivityPub implementation as a separate service, API only. But I only use it for bots. I've been meaning to rip out my internal mess and switch over to that but I'm not excited about that project.

@aaronpk Isn't your whole site a custom pile of code? And that's why only parts of p3k are fully open source?

Yes, but the ActivityPub stuff in particular is pretty messy.

@aaronpk What's that running? I have always been curious since i found you up here.

It's a big sloppy mess of hand-rolled code. I would do things quite differently if I built one again.

This graph is the number of fediverse messages per day my little single-user instance has been receiving over the past year. Something is different.

Leave Twitter just because it’s losing its entire infrastructure and is terribly understaffed? Babe, I’m a bicycle rider in the United States.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"

As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

Each new generation on the web needs to learn that there’s no such thing as a permanent web identity on a commercial web service.
The only long-term solution to maintain your identity is:
1. your own domain name
2. Your own website/blog
3. Several backups
Everything else is temporary. Your accounts on myspace, facebook, medium, twitter, google plus, youtube, tiktok, mastodon will one day disappear or become useless.
You don’t have a "community" on those websites. Only ephemeral discussions.
