Here’s a brief: Instead of tweeting to one server, you tweet to many. When you and another person share the same server, they see you. Those servers (relays) can also be broadcasting your messages to other relays, so you might end up indirectly sharing servers as well. Because there are so many servers that potentially sync data, it is supposed to be “uncensorable”. Each user is identified by a public key, and signs their message with a private key.

As for the SN aspect; you follow people. Hence the Twitter comparison.

Now what I did not mention on purpose: You can do microtransactions in bitcoins. And if you read that and thought “oh god no” - then yeah, exactly. xD

Selfhosted Vaultwarden and the Bitwarden apps.

Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don’t want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it’s gone. :)

C: What if you used emojis for pointer (*) and deref (&) signs?

When I add !privacy@lemmy.ml into my search field, it doesn’t show anything - in fact, it ends up telling me that there are no results. I have to then go into the Communities tab again, and hope it shows up there.

I can see it doing work as I watch the logs. But this is really a little weird/frustrating. I hope this sees improvement eventually! =)
