Yes... but how do we get this (basic) understanding to millions of people lacking it?

If the question is really about "can", than the answer is definitely yes.

If it's about if you should, than it's a clear no. Because storing data in a GitHub Project is not the use case. Nothing in the protocols or the platform itself is optimized for that. Also GitHub could just pull the plug of your project if they ever feel that it is against their terms.

Ok, sounds like the standard claim for everything to me to be honest.

Can someone explain in short what problem people had about Omegle?

Was it that you can say things (and show things) there to a random person without any good possibility to trace it back to you because it's anonymous and more "temporary" then something like Lemmy for example?

Or was it just a witch hunt without any real reasonable structure?

This is a reference to an original star war movie poster, if you wonder why it looks familiar.

Did we mentioned that it is closed source proprietary service controlled by only one company that can dictate the terms of it's usage?

Actually mastodon is the more viable option for journalist, because you're not depending on the good will of a company (or some rich people in control of it) to not block you or restrict where you can be seen and where not.

It's just that so many people don't care about this.

I'm always suspicious if someone argues pro Contents Filter with "protection of children" as the main argument...

Meanwhile my cat after reading this theory...

If I understood this correct from my interpretation of the dutch server description this is an Instance for dutch government officials.

At least Germany also has such a mastodon instance too for quite a while now. So people on mastodon know that an account there is officially a government account. The BSI (German Office for cyber security) and other offices post there.

This is not an Instance for "normal people" to register on.

Not a Fan. I'm an enjoyer

And that's when you remember why you have been an average AMD enjoyer.
