Suji Yan has acquired #Pawoo, making him the largest owner of #Mastodon (and fediverse) instances. I suspect Pawoo changed hands for reasons similar to mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud: to avoid #legal liabilities for not moderating enough (remember Pawoo's domain was briefly suspended in September? Also, the latter two were sold amid legislative efforts to combat #cyberbullying in #Japan ). This, be it recentralization or #moderation, should concern all #fediverse (especially #Japanese) users.

Many are either oversimplifying this as a funding issue or making blatant assumptions on that guy's character, while missing the main point: #instances have been sold (as in the case) or shut down (switter.at) on liability grounds. The #fediverse does not operate in a vacuum, and everyone must abide by all sorts of #law. @privacat has an excellent guide on GDPR for #mastoadmin, and I'm sure there are many other #legal aspects (esp. with handling speech) to consider.

What drivel is this "smart #gun"? How does that prevent the tragedy that allegedly inspired the idea? Sure, it can prevent accidental firing, but the point is maybe one should ask why people keep loaded guns with them in the first place, instead of trying to normalize it further!https://www.npr.org/2023/04/29/1172284298/smart-gun-biofire-biometrics

@Pinnkhun 依据 https://www.neboer.site/nerchat/docs/client/nelement.html ,只是fork了官方的Element,且开源。源代码里看不出什么问题。当然具体还要取决于题主是哪里下载的,且站长是否对代码有未公开的改动。但是这个服有点可疑……笔者测试时似乎屏蔽大部分国外流量(国内OK),不能联通(至少不能和主流各服联通),所以强烈建议远离(毕竟Matrix不加密元数据)。如果想要入Matrix但不想使用官服,可参见笔者编纂的 https://joinmatrix.org/servers (请自行掂量对各服的信任度)。cc. @board @sthfloating
