Can you believe that new Hyper Text Transfer Protocol has NO MECHANISM WHATSOEVER preventing it from being used to distribute kiddy porn? Can we all agree it should be banned?

"Demographics of apparent underage sellers of explicit content are notably different on the Fediverse: sellers tend to primarily be teenage boys or transgender girls, while on other platforms sellers are almost entirely cisgender girls"

> a monopoly controls protection against csam with hashes for which they cannot disclose their sources, and they charge a premium for what seems to be a broad societal need

It's really hard not to think that at least some subset of the governmental and nonprofit operations that deal with CSAM are pedophiles.

Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year: httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-pri

That means if Chromium ships it too, we could quickly move to 90%+ of browser traffic being attested. Not good!

I was REALLY disappointed to see the GoFundMe for a non-federating CalcKey instance for Black Fediverse users (supported by some of the most important Fediverse founders besides the LGBTQ+ ones) was shut down. It is nearly impossible for Black folx to use the Mastodon Network. It NEEDS to be easier. To this end I have started a new #Pleroma fork named #Melanoma.

Features:
1. runs on lower hardware specs like feature phones
2. easy installation via Verizon App Store
3. named after the most powerful chemical compound in the universe, melanin
4. no mayo monkeys involved (except me, I know, ugh)
