  • I managed to get my immediate family (and my sister’s husband) onto Threema, the extended family is on Whatsapp with zero chance of switching away.

    On the other hand, one cousin’s husband can’t stop spamming the group chat with pics of their daughters. Not just “special event, here’s a pic of each at their best” or whatever, but multiple. fotos. daily., sometimes videos too… As a consequence, I’ve permanently muted that whatsapp group and only occasionally take a peek at it.










  • The fediverse being decentralized means that there are many servers/instances, each with their own codes of conduct (or lack of one). Similarly, different communities on those servers can have different rules they might want to enforce with removals of posts or comments. For example, a community about cat pictures will have a rule about posts having to be cat pictures and will remove a post about your grandma’s vegetable soup recipe.

    If your comment/post was removed, that probably means your post/comment was either against the rules of the community or against the code of conduct of the entire server/instance. If it’s the former, look for or create a community where that kind of content is appreciated. If you’re running up against the code of conduct of the instance, look for a server/instance where your content wouldn’t be violating the code of content or make your own server/instance where you’re the one defining the code of conduct. Of course, that code of conduct would only apply to communities on your server.

    If your server becomes a source of constant shit, admins of other servers might decide to defederate from your server. Think of it like making your own email server: if too many of your email server’s emails are spam, other email providers might decide to designate your email server as a spam factory and block all emails coming from it.
