Pushing people to unnecessarily reset credentials increases risk. Not only does it increase acute risk, but it also decreases the value of the signal by crying wolf. The argument here is the kind of nonsense cargo cult security that pervade

You can't plan for every contigency, but you can reserve potentially scary message for situations where you know they are correct. An unpected error state should NOT result in a "invalid credentialiald error".

That's not precisely accurate. The cascadian subductions zone uas produced magnitude 9 quakes in the past. The results I've seen (from a decade and a half ago) pegged the probability of a magnitude > 9 in the next 50 years at 1

The same criticisms and solutions apply to web pages. Various organizations provide "archive" services. Relays and/or AppViews can utilize (or be) such a service. Removal from such a service depends on that service's sys

My understanding is that a PDS instance only hosts data for it's users. Caching can happen at Relays or AppViews and those will presumably need to do something to avoid caching CSAM.

It'd be nice to see an updated version of those that describes how those ideas and tools relate to a self/third-party hosting. The best I can tell, this is the model: My understanding is that each host has control over what they h

A self hosted instance will have whatever moderation the host chooses to implement (such as CSAM monitoring if required by law.) On top of that, user defined moderation will be applied from block and mute lists. Hopefully this will include

Yes, that's useful information to those who aren't familiar with the situation but I would say that the way the Democrats voted in lockstep is a great example of the partisan lack of compromise that a two party system encourages.

You're aware that all publicly traded companies are run by a democratic system where the voters are shareholders? The only change here is who limiting who allowed to own shares to people work are directly involved.
