  • someone told me that we can see stuff from Beehaw, but Beehaw can’t see stuff from us.

    Admins of an instance can block other instances. If you scroll to the bottom of the front page on your instance you see an “Instances” link that shows which are linked and which are blocked. The instance you log into may have a few blocked, but most should be linked.

    Evidently Beehaw has decided not to participate with a good number of outside instances. This is a toxic approach and defeats the whole point of the Fediverse. They have the right to operate how they want, but they should be avoided in protest.

  • I’m using fastmail.com as my email provider in the USA. They’re a small company based out of Australia with global servers. They pride themselves on privacy and security. Been using them for several years now. They’re not the cheapest game in town, but they have an impressive feature set. They actually host a domain and web site for me that’s included with my mid-tier account fees. I have zero complaints with them.

    Even paid accounts with companies like Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo do not guarantee privacy. Yahoo has been known to scan email content for targeted advertising. Discovering that is what actually motivated me to use a paid service.
