The most popular NSFW group in Ravelry is the ironically-named “Lazy, Stupid and Godless” knitters, abbreviated #LSG. They’ve been sharing this sort of content and giving me a reason to live since 2007.

That’s a model a Domain Registrar could move into, so that Johannab.ca just has a flag that says “trusted to be who she wants online” and lets me log in to ANYWHERE with that credential.

… connect to my identity in 1) temporarily, via an identity server operating at level 2) that just returns a “yes legitimate identity” or “no this is not validated” response.
Basically a 2FA that self-destructs the connection between your anonymous account and public identity as soon as it is used

What we really need is a public, personally or as-a-human-right-by-government ID service that is private, anonymized, but tied to my citizen entitlements. Absolutely encrypted and the key dies with me or with my country of origin.
FROM THAT I may do 3 things.

Being forever tied to an identity *you do not fully own* is a problem. If I am johanna@mastodon1 and johannabee@mastodon2 but I move and have to open johannab33e@newfedsocial, but also johanna45@bsky.org … it’s a mess to connect and someone else might be any of those usernames @server16.blah

We just, if our judgements were sound and we’ve taken the time to cultivate relations and community on our server, have a sense of safety in our position.
But like most of these digital so-called “places”, that remains ephemeral, and vulnerable.

No. There is no inherently better/inherently sucks, there are two different frameworks that offer many different components each.
If someone suspends you on Mastodon, as things are now, you lose connectivity, data, AND identity.
Most of us have a backup profile and export things often.

Thank you for taking the time not only to address this, and not only to explain what is going on, but to explain to *everyone* in terms they can access how this is really working. Many of us don’t even know what we need to know about it and your efforts are enlightening.
