Sorry to keep saying this, but #snac2 is pretty awesome. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe (aka @stesnac@snac.bsd.cafe) for this instance, and thanks to all the BSD users who have been posting about it over the past many months.

Need to do a search in a manpage or in a file you've sent to a pager? Use
"/search_word". To repeat the same search, type "n" for next or "p" for
previous.

Paywalls may be an important causal factor for the decline of democracies. I wonder if there's any study aboit this.

They'll have to *really* fast track it if they want to pass it before we yeet them into the rubbish bin of history. Government by announcement only gets you so far when your polls are collapsing and your own guys are saying you should resign.And even if they do, the next government can repeal it easily, because hasty legislation reactively banning things doesn't have any complicated infrastructure to tear down or budget gaps to cover. It can just go away.

@dthompson yes.
My point is that this friction is actually valuable.
I can’t actually prevent someone on mastodon from reading my public toots by blocking them, but blocking them still prevents most people from doing so.
⇒ needs to get UX right. In Hyphanet we usually got that part wrong (e.g. told people "you’re totally insecure" when they actually were safe against the 99% of people who don’t patch their node to spy on their friends).

@ArneBab the point is that we don't want to give users a false sense of security by saying that we can prevent something we cannot. we can surely add friction, but that's it.

@dthompson Not completely. But a communication system can make it hard enough for Bob to invite someone else that it doesn’t often happen in practice.
Bob can always copy, but if a link to the chat by default requires a login by Bob, most Bobs won’t want to do the work required.
That’s the effect of defaults and convention.
