@KawaSeadrake Like, there are ways to do it, but Mastodon wasn't designed that way. I *think* you could have the poster's instance sign the post/files with the remote user's public key, but the user's private key would have to be stored in a client application or something. No good if the remote instance has access to the key, because a leak is likely to contain both (to say nothing of a malicious admin).
@KawaSeadrake Not ideal is a good way of putting it. XD It's a hard problem though, because how else does someone on another instance see what you post here?

@KawaSeadrake On this instance, yes, but the replication protocol means that that data does leave this instance. Someone else could leak it, even through an unintentional security breach.

@IrisKalmia In my case, the exact people who would have had a problem with it aren't comfortable with me anymore. Long story, but a lot of not goodness at the moment. :(
@Felthry For when you get up. FOOF. :P http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2010/02/23/things_i_wont_work_with_dioxygen_difluoride
@Felthry He mentioned that there was an incident involving a one-ton spill in that article. :P
@Felthry The notion of a one-ton spill of that stuff is utterly terrifying. D:

Anger, Politics
@mawr Resonance with my own pain. That song hit like a bullet train.
Anger, Politics
My anger is slowly simmering down, but I am /seriously/ angry. [Why] The fuck do they get off not seeing the real world and judging us for not following their fucking rules?
Anger, Politics
Like, if there are people who *specifically want to kill me*, what the fuck am I doing playing nice instead of tearing their world down around them?
Anger, Politics
(Originally a series of tweets that I want to expand on here.)
Listened to Faint by Linkin Park the whole way home. Think I'm done with this shit.
I am very, very angry.
If I am going to be treated like an existential threat, perhaps I had better start acting like one.
And just to be clear, I don't mean that in terms of violence towards anybody. I mean that in terms of systematic destruction of *systems*.
