No type of source control helps when the people who control access are giving it to people who shouldn’t have it. Think of it as the github workspace admin giving out accounts to malicious individuals.

It’s not “I sent it as a pdf” but “I gave edit access to the master copy to somebody who shouldn’t have had it”

They care enough to do things like buy properties in cooler countries so they can move to them after making Saudi Arabia uninhabitable.

It’s a gift link; few people need that.

And in Canada in 1917

4.2 is tiny; other platforms are getting hundreds of thousands per day.

It’s small enough that the Mastodon use stats show it as noise.

I’ve seen the follow-around thing a couple times. Rare because we’re small. Become big, and it becomes a bigger problem

People can follow from a Mastodon instance and drop troll comments on all your posts

What it has going for it is a nuclear block; when you block somebody, their trollish response no longer shows up in the feed of your followers, and your post no longer shows up in feed of their followers. This basically kills trolling as as sport.

The fact that on Mastodon & Lemmy “block” means “I can’t see their posts, but they can still summon followers to harass” makes them much less attractive as a platform.
