bryan newbold @bnewbold.net · 08/06/2025just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there. 212450987
1q-moon-fan.bsky.social @1q-moon-fan.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Do not take your own phone to a protest. Buy a burner phone, put nothing in the contact book except your lawyer. Do not connect to any of your cloud services. Do not turn on biometric authentication. Use PIN/passcodes only. 4191
Quadlok @quadlok.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Eh, fuck it. If they want to come waste their time on me I say go for it. Just more bad press for them and a lovely little mental health vacation for me. We should be doing everything possible to overwhelm the system. 050
Kate Sills @katelynsills.com · 08/06/2025Thank you @bnewbold.net. We need Bluesky more than ever right now, and thank you for watching out for people. 070
The Unquiet Ghost of Andrew S. @shoutingboy.bsky.social · 14/08/2025I don’t think a lot of people get that on Bluesky things like “blocked” and “must be logged in to view posts” are just requests the host makes to clients, and clients don’t have to obey. 000
Anthony Layna @anthonyl.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Ironic that normal citizens have to go three layers deep to have a normal conversation, but our government can have members who can barely hold in glee over attack plans on Signal. 160
Clios Fan Boy🗽🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 @cliosfanboy.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Fine. Let me say it here. I HATE TRUMP! I love my country. I love the US of A, and celebrate its achievements as much as I mourn its mistakes and recognize the evil that has been done along with the good. The republicans are Fascist and should be opposed at every step. FUCK him & his administration 020
wiredog @wiredog.bsky.social · 08/06/2025bsky.app/profile/kenw...Popehat@kenwhite.bsky.socialI feel it’s time to rewrite my Rules for Criminal Plots for this new platform. Rule One: look at the shoes. If the new co-conspirator is dressed shabby like the rest of you but his or her shoes are neat and well-maintained, they’re a fed. /1 040
AntiPastor🇺🇦AtheisticalMinista🇵🇸AnticlericalAntifa @jonstackpool.bsky.social · 08/06/2025So anything sub rosa can be subpeonied. 000
Spasmodic Colon @spasmodicanus.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Problem is, if they want you, they're coming for you, regardless if what you post. You don't tow the line? They just fucking abduct you and ship you out of the country, they don't need evidence or sentences or anything. 000
KarNones @karsully.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Make sure there are back-up secure comms not on US big tech platforms servers. Know who secure comms are owned by and who owns the servers they’re on. 010
Tom Phoolery @psychedeli.ca · 08/06/2025this is correct, DMs aren't even on atproto really...but there's a working group to add this kind of thing to the protocol AND make them end-to-end encrypted! atproto.wiki/en/working-g...atproto.wikiE2EE Messaging Working GroupE2EE Messaging for ATProto 080
Mister Gary @mistergary.bsky.social · 08/06/2025This is true. Probably being consumed by that teal petey as we libre speak 010
xX_Doctor_Cucumber_Xx @possumdementhe.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Even if you're not worried about subpoena, if someone in a conversation doesn't have 2FA on, their account can be compromised and I have seen people try to hack others to read their DMs over a beef. 000
Wulfy—Speaker to the machines @n-dimension.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy · 08/06/2025@bnewbold.net Mastodon is not a secret cool kids club either. Everything you post is public 081
bryan newbold @bnewbold.net · 08/06/2025public broadcast and discovery is *really important* but is also a sharp tool. use the right tool for the job. 11134
