The Fediverse – a network comprised of Mastodon, Pleroma and other adjacent projects – suffers from the same glaring contradiction. Similar to email nodes, servers (known as Instances within this network) are branded around common interests, political beliefs or sexualities. Users are encouraged to join the servers that resonate with them. Like Scuttlebutt, political and sexual expression is warmly encouraged; in just one example, after centralised media moved to close the accounts of sex workers to comply with new US anti-sex trafficking laws, a Mastodon Instance named Switter was created to offer space for these individuals to continue to operate safely. Switter is now one of the largest Instances in the network.

    How is is this cyber security related?

    And it’s not P2P…

    Jami is p2p for example. Direct communication between peers.

        I could be wrong. I’d be happy to be shown wrong. Always room to learn.

        Generally when I hear cyber security I think of things like data breaches, vulnerability research, malware analysis, netsec, appsec… Stuff like that.

        I’m actually not really sure where I’d have posted. I remember seeing a meta community somewhere, maybe lemmy.world, where you can have discussions about Lemmy. But I’m really not sure.

        And just to make it clear, I’m just giving you my honest opinion. Not trying to make you feel bad or anything.

          I now noticed that the post’s content differs between instances, sorry about that.
