New comment by rpgbr in "Matt Mullenweg's Messages Went Missing Amid a Failed Backup and Two Lost Devices"

rpgbr — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 17:25:00 +0000

I guess the issue isn't that his backups “failed”, but that Mullenweg allegedly deleted evidences and lost devices on purpose.

Except this isn't a “me” situation. I mean, I can (and did) stop using Meta platforms, but everyone around me is sticking to them, and sometimes I appear in a photo or something, not to mention the infamous shadow profiles that Meta keeps of people not in their databases.

New comment by rpgbr in "PeerTube is a free, decentralized and federated video platform"

Yes, but you can federate selectively, as in choosing which other instances you want to. And, yes, federating turns you responsible for the content of the other instance (IMHO; not legal advice or even fact checked).

Just like in Justice, where every suspect always say they are to blame when they did commit a crime.

(It's a great book, Mark and co. are more awful people we thought they were.)
