I think it would be very powerful to have anonymous reputation.

Something like anonymous cryptocurrency, where you can post something as anon, but using some math you can show that you're "somebody" (just not show who).

@redneonglow Some Pieville user got dogpiled over his anti-anime stance, and he later sent a fake CSAM report on DRC.

To go with what happened yesterday, I would just like to tell people to NEVER feed the feds. Sure, it may be amusing for some to see their negative reactions to anime avatars, but history has proven on here that it eventually leads to fake bomb threats or fake CASM reports.

And if you think that is bad, much worse things have happened before. For example, there have been times when actual Internet-linked mass shootings happened and (user)names of the people the perpetrators have interacted with appear on their manifestos. Back when 8chan was shutdown and before it's relaunch as 8kun, there was another mass shooting and the manifesto mentioned 8/v/'s board owner, Mark, and he was later contacted by the feds. And this was because of his reaction to the Christchurch shooting, months prior.

So be very careful about who you try to troll. If they tend to glowpost or are on a community full of glowposters, then it's probably best not to interact with them.

To anyone out there who’s successfully convinced someone else to switch from a mainstream app / service to a self-hosted / indie / #FOSS alternative:

What worked?

Pitching this kind of switch could become a core part of my business soon. I’d love to know what aspects of such a change have the broadest appeal!

(Boosts much appreciated 🙏)

Romania Update:

The person with the most votes is George Simon, a guy who campaigned with Georgescu (the one who was banned from running). Now there will be another election in a few weeks to decide between the top and 2nd.

The 2nd is a math professor who is very popular, is not a politician, and is the favorite of my wife.

One day after Simon came in with the most votes, he was seen at the airport boarding a plane to Vienna. Vienna is of course an intelligence hotbed so anyone with a head on his shoulders knows this looks like he's doing deals with RU.

The whole situation is fucked, if they ALSO ban this guy from running, they might as well skip elections because they're pointless anyway - but if he wins, he might well be a foreign asset (*cough* Obama).

My opinion is that they never should have taken a bite out of the "banned from politics" apple, and now who the hell knows what will happen to them.
