The devs are specifically working on a feature to get even more insight into this.

I think the idea is to make it easier to detect trolling/spam from certain accounts. But honestly, there’s no reason upvotes and downvotes can’t just be public.

Maybe; this feels like a “for the children”, or “because terrorists” argument.
If the whole shebang would be public i would be fine with it, but to me it looks like it will just be a crutch used to justify taking action against dissent.

Desyn0xox, in What is the community's opinion on Session and Session Automated Software?

I think it’s an interesting project. However I am not a fan of their decision to omit forward secrecy, and have thus passed on using it. At least for now.

MigratingtoLemmy,

I didn’t know they did that. Unless it’s a technical limitation of Loki Net (which should be worked on if that’s the case), this is borderline unacceptable for a product made for privacy. Thanks for pointing it out

I think the main complain anyone would have with this is, only we admin can look at the vote, and no one else can. This isn’t a problem in Kbin or any other platform that allow one to do so.

I only check the vote to see if there’s any brigading, other than that, i have no issue with other admins snooping or whatever. Ohh to be clear, all of us admin can see the vote everywhere, getting a new instance yourself will not solve anything.

A new PR allowing mods to see the votes was merged a few weeks ago.

Very novice level privacy/security tips

Lol:

“All those account outside of monero.town are most likely angry commies that just follow posts from here to downvote.”

People outside my echo chamber think I’m an asshole, it must be a conspiracy!

All said and done, such reports developed by the cops, as compared to all reports developed by the cops, will be in the minority

We do see the votes. Publicly posting them sounds like poor form, but then what do you expect from crypto bros?

Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

Running your own instance isn’t going to hide your votes.

The votes are public. Kbin displays them right in the UI. Lemmy semi-hides it, but it’s never been designed to be private in any way.

Changing instance won’t do shit if that’s a concern to you. As an admin I can see them even if my instance isn’t involved with the post at all:

So really, I just need to host my own instance to see votes. Nice.

What’s the instance?

Or is it right in front of my face and I’m not seeing it?

possiblylinux127, in What is the community's opinion on Session and Session Automated Software?

Session is secure and has been audited to verify that. However, I do have concerns over the size and obscurity of Lokinet. I don’t know if that will ever change or not.

grayman, in Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It

Modern phrenology.

Boy that is just a garbage sandwich, garbage in garbage out with twice as much garbage.

I have Session. Given that it’s a fork of Signal and more anonymous I’m inclined to trust it from a privacy standpoint but can’t say I have the knowledge to really critique it’s tech. People aren’t really on there yet, at least nobody I know, so I don’t have much use for it yet but I would if it catches on a bit more at some point.

LWD, in What is the community's opinion on Session and Session Automated Software?

Simplifiedprivacy dot com needs to be blacklisted from Lemmy communities, it’s a blog trying to sell some really silly services.

As for Session, they’ve never made an original product that I’ve ever seen - they took Signal and Monero, peeled off the labels, and made them (especially Signal, IMO) worse in both aesthetics and privacy protection.

And the company behind this is in Australia, a country where you need to weaken products (by adding backdoors) upon government request.

Yesbutnotreally,

I agree. I do trust session as well, even if their “marketing” on mastodon is rather unprofessional.

It does however hurt serious actors when they get mentioned on sites that spam and claim to be serious like the one you mentioned. I hope that the mods here will clear up their spam posts

possiblylinux127,

Session is very much not a clone of Signal. They forked it way back and the entire back end and front end are different. Session uses the lokinet behind the scenes which stores messages encrypted and routes traffic. Session isn’t completely decentralized to my knowledge as its a work in progress but for now it is harder to block or censor compared to signal.

Even if you have your doubts, its been audited and found to be reasonably secure so it shouldn’t be a security risk. I still don’t use it due to its lack of invites but if they add stable calls I might just switch. For now I use it to send data between my devices.

Mugmoor, in How Do I Avoid Giving Home Address to Bank?
@Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If you’re this concerned, why are you using a bank at all? You strike me as a cash under the mattress type.

pineapplelover,

Dude I just don’t want my name, phone number, and address all over the public web. Why am I getting so much hate for this?
