    But I’d argue that you should not store anything on Mastodon where it would be an issue if it became public.

    One of the first things new fediverse users should be told is that the fediverse is not the darknet.

    Astroturfing has become endemic to reddit. If a given subreddit has more than like 5k subscribers, you can assume someone is probably trying to sell something on it - if not a product then a brand or idea. I hope ActivityPub platforms are successful but not so much that they get polluted with that crap.

    In the very early days of digital photography a ton of people with 1MP cameras were picking up "orbs" and "ectoplasm" and claiming they were ghosts, but I guess that didn't last very long. Your point certainly holds true today in the sense that if you present a low quality digital image today, people assume it's scuffed on purpose and become skeptical.

    Paranormal Recording - Analog vs Digital

    Maybe it's just selection bias, but I feel like there were a lot more alleged recordings of paranormal activity going around back when most video and audio was recorded on analog media, compared to after 2004-2005 when Sony Hi8 Handycams hit the lights on the way out and digital took over. Is that because ghosts can slip through the gaps between the 0s and 1s, but magnetic heads force them into the visible plane? Or is it because people didn't have widely available CG animation dulling their imaginations? Or perhaps it's unrelated - did Saddam simply take all the ghosts with him into the afterlife? I would love to hear your thoughts, and if you make recordings when you go ghost hunting, I'd love to hear about your gear setup.

    Exactly this. It would be the height of stupidity to create this space/network that frees us from so much of the hyperconglomerate bullshit only to invite them in willingly.

    Which is why I got so pissed when I told my dad that active sonar was bad for the whales and he suggested that they just put their hands over their ears. Gosh Dad, you don't understand anything!! Whales can't put their hands over their lungs!!
