It’s decentralized, but federated. Email isn’t considered Fediverse either and I think it’s closer to xmpp. That said, I think both could become federated if other applications used their protocols and now that I think about it there’s at least a messenger using email protocol, so it probably is?

Ugh, so glad that instance in suspended from 161 :D

I’m a bit torn on this. On the one hand, it makes livestock keeping more profitable because the manure can be sold or at least disposed without having to pay expensive disposal fees. On the other hand, I think as long as there is animal husbandry, it’s the best to make use of all byproducts. Using the dung doesn’t further harm the animals but can be beneficial for agriculture without doubt.

That said, overfertilization is a huge problem and with the current dimensions of industrial livestock farming, it’s more damaging for the soil rather than being beneficial. It’s often just cheap disposal of the sewage.

I almost forgot about this, but with banks that are not online-only banks, you can still hand in bank transfer forms on paper. It’s tedious obviously and may take longer, but it works.

I don’t know the details of PSD2, but you can still pay with SEPA without biometrics if SEPA is available in your country. Some banks support 2FA via SMS when you don’t want to use their app.

This is exactly why climate change denying became popular and acceptable, because the media thought they had to represent counter arguments for everything, no matter how big the consensus among scientists was. Adding different viewpoints just for the sake of it will not fix biases but introduce other ones.

Telegram works very well but is a nightmare from privacy perspective since they store everything* unencrypted as long as they want. They even call themselfes “cloud messenger”.

(*) everything but the e2e chats you can set up but are barely used since they can’t be accessed on desktop and there’s no e2e for groups

Looks pretty telling about who’s active in that sub that the adblock comment is getting downvoted that much. Do people really want to get relevant ads shown, when they just could see no ads at all? Block everything.

Isn’t this the signal server code? https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

Having Russians getting your data instead of Americans is a choice one can make, but since TG doesn’t support e2e in Desktop clients, it isn’t really comparable I think. It’s a cloud messenger that also supports e2e in some cases, so while moxie surely gets your metadata, Pavel gets everything.
