For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • For one thing, it still has the option for an additional fingerprint lock to open the app.
    Sure, my phone itself is locked anyway, usually.
    I still like having the second lock built into the app itself for the odd time (however rare) that I hand my unlocked phone to someone.
    I know they’re not snooping into my signal messages while I blink or misclick on a notification or whatever.

    It may not be a big deal for some/most but I like that feature and I can’t imagine that’s something that needs much upkeep once initially implemented.

    I’m sure it’s not the only feature, but it’s one I use often.








  • SJW doesn’t ban email domains, IPs nor VPNs.

    To my knowledge, we’ve alsp never shared specific details about users with dotworld or other instances for that matter.
    I myself would take offense about leaking any of this info.

    The only thing I can even think of is we might have shared something like this once or twice during bigger spam attacks:

    this last wave of spammer were all made in the last hour and fit the following pattern “5 letters, 5 numbers @ sketchy domain dot com” without sharing actual user info.

    Edit:
    I don’t know about dotworld, but at least on our end, there’s only TheDude and me who even have access to see a user’s email address.
    The only other times we’ve really even checked one was before 2FA & password reset worked properly.

    We even have users who didn’t want to provide an email at all which we’ve verified manually through matrix.



  • I can’t know for sure if they kicked the bucket or not, but they aren’t around here anymore.

    They seemed like a genuinely cool person and it makes me sad that they might be gone.

    They’ve mentioned accepting and not fearing death, but also wanting to remain anonymous.
    I won’t doxx them, alive or not, but know that it seems someone has since been taking care of what they considered to be their life’s work (their words).

    May they remind y’all to cherish whatever time you do have.











  • IDK, maybe, I might be one of those guys and didn’t really notice before.
    I don’t believe I do this differently around women vs men.
    I’m often too busy in my own head to pay much attention. So, if your body language isn’t sketchy like drunk or overly aggressive, odds are I’ve zoned out and you didn’t register much.

    Anyway, I’m a generally silent walker.
    If I’m not paying attention, I might end up sneaking up on someone without meaning to, which can then startle them or spook them. Like, I spook my cat often enough and they’re the actual predators.

    But yea, late at night, I think I might subconsciously make myself known ahead of time just as a simple courtesy.
    I’d rather not find out whether anyone’s more of a fight/flight person when they finally notice me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Me? I’m the throat clearing guy. Hi. Ahem.

    PS: I have 20+ years experience of throat clearing. Yes I’ve seen doctors, they didn’t find anything other than yea we can see inflammation in your vocal chords, no there’s nothing we can do, just stop doing it. That or prescribe random shit that actually fucks up other basic bodily functions and create actual problems.

    Anyway, I’m sorry if it’s weird.
