Security theater is worse than nothing. Security theater gives people the false impression that their risks have been mitigated, when actually things are just as dangerous.

After al, if you know that danger exists, you can take some steps to mitigate or avoid it.

But if you have the false impression that you've been made safer, you might unwittingly engage in risky behavior.

I do love the idea of Mastodon, but trying to get a reasonable amount of activity up and running in your feed as a small personal server is tough.

I know relays exist, but they don't seem super common on active instances and waiting to be approved seems to go nowhere.

Republican members of Congress who voted against certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory, even after a deadly riot at the Capitol, are getting denounced by critics in their home districts who demand that they resign or be ousted. http://apne.ws/L6qGsm3 https://twitter.com/AP/status/1348381864143319041 #News #AP #Biden #Congress #Republican

For all my twitter friends & followers, I will say...
1. Its 2021, maybe time to switch to Mastodon?
2. I might now finally see your direct messages thanks to Cawbird 1.3 - https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/01/cawbird-1-3-released-for-linux-distros

The Free Software Foundation is asking for suggestions for what its new priorities should be. You don't have to be a member, anyone can send a suggestion by email.

It would be great if we could get them to prioritise the Fediverse including Mastodon, PixelFed etc, you can find out more here:

https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/help-us-set-high-priorities-for-2021-send-input-by-jan-8

They need suggestion emails by 8th January 2021.

I know FSF generates mixed feelings on here, but it would help get the Fediverse noticed if they promote it.
