#Browser question related to #privacy 
I saw quite some recommendations to switch from #firefox to #waterfox (also tagging @Waterfox here).
Correct me if I am misunderstanding something, but as soon as you use either with an #account you are sitting in the same boat, as an account with either is ultimately always an account with firefox, and so gives them access?
Yes, this is the #official #WhiteHouse #account
Ich glaube ich #lösche diesen #account und nutze einen anderen wo ich nur #Catsofmastodon Folge. Ich habe genug von #Politik
New #Botnet on the loose?
A surge of accounts from gtmastodon.online / mastodon.gtmastodon.online has emerged, all seemingly following a limited number of #MastodonSocial users.
Is this a coordinated effort? If so, what is the goal?
Just left the #MastodonSocial #instance because I am now reluctant to leave my #data on its #server located in the #USA and therefore under U.S. #juridiction and possible #government action, and moved my #account to the #ChaosSocial instance (on invitation only) with server in #Europe ( #Germany ). The #migration was easy and fast.

I volunteer with BIJAN sending $20 to folks in ICE prison each month. I got a refund check just now, as I guess one of the guys was no longer being held. But they kept the $7.95 service fee.
Ya, it cost $7.95 to send $20 to a canteen account. Which most likely is no surprise to anyone reading this.
To be clear BIJAN refunds the money I send to the canteen accounts. As you can only donate to two accounts per day they need a bunch of folks to help them navigate that restriction.
Since I created a new Pixelfed account I would love to follow some new people. So if you are on Pixelfed, feel free to share your account in the comments.
Mine is @daniebeler@pixelix.social

Es war teilweise anstrengend und hat definitiv #Zeit benötigt - aber es hat sich gelohnt. Alle Familienmitglieder, Freunde und Chatgruppen aus dem #Verein sind erfolgreich zu #Threema oder #Signal migriert! Bedeutet kein #WhatsApp mehr für mich. #Account gelöscht. Mit dem löschen der App bin ich endgültig befreit von #Meta 
Irgendwie ein Meta äh mega gutes Gefühl

IF YOU ARE ON A #TECH INSTANCE THAT IS CLOSING DOWN, YOU CAN ALWAYS MOVE TO #TECHHUB.
We just got a new server in Canada and are adding new moderators: we are well-connected, and ready to bring in anyone who needs an account here. If your server is #ShuttingDown, and you want to talk about #programming, #engineering, #electronics, #AI, #gaming, or anything else #science and #technology related, please come over here right away so we have time to get everything transferred!
#FediTips: To move an account, make the new account, and go into Settings -> Account, and use the two options at the bottom to link each account to the other. You can also download all your data, and import some of your old #Mastodon data on the new one.
If you need help, feel free to contact me: I am open to helping anyone who needs it with making #accounts, moving accounts, and getting set up on a new #account.
#fediverse, please #boost this to help get people #moving from the closing servers!
Deactivated my Deviant Art account.
Good riddance.

I replied to a meme on a twitter account owned by a MAGA with a criticism. Nothing vulgar. My account was immediately locked for 12 hours. I had to delete the post in order to eventually get my account unlocked.
Free speech only for conservatives only on X
Has anyone else noticed the @pixelfed¹ "Sign-in with Mastodon" button?
Pretty neat! 
It's actually also a sign-up option. With a few clicks, you can import all your #Mastodon data & get started 
It's not available on all #Pixelfed servers.²

#Mastodon is pretty customizable to offer people many choices not usually available to users on other #socialmedia platforms. More choices also means more complexity ;)
Like on other platforms, you can also choose to simply make a new #account on another #server.
A lot depends on your reason for moving :)
Ideas?
#fixedrate #account has a larger % #AER for #monthly over #annual #interest #payments. It doesn't appear to be #compound (with the monthly #interest going back into the #account) as you specify a different account for it to be #paid into. #Customerservice couldn't give me a reason.
I know it doesn't really matter but it is a #puzzle and I'd like the #solution.

We as #consumers need to give such #Enshittiied #Appliance the #juicero treatment and collectively #RefuseToBuy that shite and urge lawmakers to ban "unnecessarily connected devices" if not for #privacy and #cost then at least due to their wasteful #EnergyConsumption!!!
I want @EUCommission & @bsi to mandate "#PrivacyLabels" like the #EUenergyLabel and mandate everything to be functional without #App, #Account, #Subscription or #Internet / #Network access at all!!!

Have you ever received weird messages from a friend on a social media platform?
This could be a sign of a #hacked account.
Here’s how you can tell if your account has been hacked 
https://tuta.com/blog/was-my-account-hacked
Rep. #Jamie #Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, demanded Friday
a "#full #account" of a reported incident between Donald Trump and his campaign and their collective appearance this week at #Arlington #National #Cemetery.
Trump and his campaign faced intense backlash following a reported #physical #altercation with a cemetery official and faced questions over whether they may have #violated #federal #law banning campaign materials from being photographed or filmed in certain sections of the cemetery.
