hey infosec ppl new to mastodon.social, please try to remember that the queer furry weirdos were actually here before you.
Please don't post channer slang or slurs or pepes on the PTL. This is a shared home.

AnnahI do think that it can be pretty jarring for newbies to come into a space with such strongly disparate communities communicating freely across the federation. We have all kinds here, literally, from shitposters to social justice advocates to channers to programmers to just average Joes and Janes. Just remember we were all a newbie once :)
In a perfect world yes, and I totally agree with you. But what can I do? If I agree to this licence agreement and do something else they get me in trouble. And not signing it means not using the software, which means not being able to work with my doctor.
Ah, isn't his wonderful! This software will also have ADVERTISEMENTS, and I'm only halfway through reading the licence agreement. I wonder what will be next.
@einebiene you can run a complete Windows system inside your Linux-based system using VirtualBox (when needed).Windows licence needed though

BieneI'm pretty pissed off. I just read up on the software that goes with my blood glucose monitor, and it turns out the company (and their partners) will have access to all my data. That's pretty damn intimate. When I eat and how much, when I sleep, how often I inject or check my blood sugar levels. And there's no way around that. And I get the feeling I also have to switch back to windows. :-(
@denjin @gargron Also give GNU and these guys (@mmn @hannes2peer) your money to make GNU Social a better implementation. The more the merrier :) #federation
Mastodon uses the OStatus protocol, so if that is active on your Friendica node then you can follow, be followed and communicate with Mastodon users. GNU social groups are currently not supported by Friendica, but this is planned https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/1666.
@piersb but the real beauty here is that there are hundreds of #GNUSocial / #StatusNet instances that #Mastodon already can federate with. We are many.
