@atomicpoet Its frustrating that it’s a crypto entity, but “corporate” Mastodon instances are a positive signal IMO.

@atomicpoet But also: “Oh the different instances aren’t complicated at all, just pick one that looks right!” 🤪

@xerz It‘s a reminder that people don’t regularly get phished out of their normal bank or broker accounts.

@xerz A risk of all your “money” being stolen by a phishing scam is absolutely a crypto/defi flaw. Hardware security keys don’t help with that one bit. They also don’t help with somebody with a gun asking for your fancy hardware key.

@xerz People get their assets stolen both by centralised exchanges, phishing scams, rug pulls, etc. Hardware keys are only a solution to a small subset of the causes. “Things just need a little more improvement then it’ll finally be safe/scalable/useful” has been said (without specifics) by crypto boosters for years. It’s getting predictable.
