  • I’ve been held at gun point three times in my life.

    Every time I was not doing anything illegal or even suspicious. I am white, not that that should make a difference, but we all know it does. EDIT: to be clear, I’m saying cops are racist, and unjustly target minorities.

    Each of those three times the person holding the gun was a power tripping asshole cop.

    I have been in several dangerous situations where a cop happened by, and just kept on going.

    I already live in a world where the police will not be there for me when I need them, and they solely present a danger with no benefit.

    You want to see people that are truly guided by a desire to help people? Go to a fire station or a hospital. Cops are not heroes, just assholes that want power over others.







  • This is actually why I switched to xmpp for my chat server of about 200.

    The room being the atomic unit, and automatic caching of media from rooms that any user is a member of, even rooms hosted on other servers was too much of a legal liability.

    It became even worse when the CSAM users found my server that had open signups, but required a captcha and an email to signup.

    Deleting the users, banning the rooms, and deleting the cached media became a multiple times a day chore.

    Xmpp, so far, doesn’t have those issues. And it is so light on resources. I highly recommend the switch.
