The creator of the tool is the admin of lemmings.world, and the tool is hosted at schedule.lemmings.world. So, if you have a user at lemmings.world, you can use this tool without having to trust a third-party.
If you don’t have a user there, you can create a user in that instance for the purpose of creating scheduled posts. Removing the need to trust two parties rather than one.
And, of course, since the source code is open anyone else can attach this to their own instance! Pretty cool.
Ah, do you mean “hate speech”?
Aah, ok! That at least explains what they could have been thinking.
But, of course, this is a terrible idea!!
Both sides? “Oh yeah, the front looks a lot like the ID I lost, but can you please send me the back side too so that I can confirm?”
TIL. That’s an interesting craft!
I think it is difficult for others to tell you whether it is “worth it”, because that is very personal.
For me, personally, transferring my family and friends to Signal is not worth it because Signal requires a phone number. If I will invest such an effort, I would rather help them migrate to a service that does not require a phone number - such as Matrix or an XMPP server. But needing a phone number to register might not be a problem for you - in which case Signal could be a perfectly reasonable choice.
But… Even then - is it worth it? Again, it is up to you. I tried, but my success has been limited. The reality is that I still have a phone with WhatsApp that I leave at home and I check it every day or two. I tell people that if they want to reach me, the best is to use e-mail. And to my closest friends and some of my family I did convince them to use my XMPP chat so that we can be connected more often. No one really left WhatsApp, but at least we can have some fun conversations on our own server, which is nice.
But I am not going to lie, I am sacrificing a ton of functionality and convenience. For me, this is worth it because I think that it is GOOD not to be available through the phone all the time, and I am idealist when it comes to not giving big companies our data. But for some people these sacrifices might be unsustainable, and it might not be worth it.
So: I don’t know. Maybe it’s worth it?
There is also a “purge community” button. But I have learned that if I purge a non-local community the purge is so complete that your instamce forgets it ever existed… And it can simply be fetched again!
Hairless cats are my favorite. So pink I guess.
I like to think that I am a good person…
