Hexbear anarchists are sus, all two of them. I won't say they're categorically not anarchists, but I'm going to be automatically suspicious of any anarchist that loves hanging out with Leninists.

I miss 90's techno-libertarian utopianism. A little naive in retrospect, but I'm holding out hope that it'll still have some relevance going forward.

Yes, it sounds like you fit right in. xD

But yeah, fair.

American liberals are right of center. The American left wing is leftist, we're just small and don't have much influence over politics here.

That could just mean that you're an "evolutionary" (as contrasted with "revolutionary") anarchist.

Yes, I block lemmy.ml communities when I notice them, just because I don't want to accidentally contribute anything to that instance. Some of the users are okay, but the admins are not.

Ah, gotcha. Those are one-time passwords. Same acronym, so it's easy to confuse them.

But yeah, I agree that everything should use (T)OTP for two-factor authentication, instead of SMS messages. The later mainly provides a false sense of security and presents only a minor hurdle for attackers to overcome.

One time pads or bust motherfuckers.

Not sure if you're being facetious, but one time pads are for encryption, not authentication. They're also impractical (and overkill) for most purposes.

Yeah, that's fair.

I'd been wondering if we had a community like this. Joined.

You might want to consider limiting cryptocurrency-related posts in some way, so that the community doesn't end up taken over by them in the future. The profit motive makes things weird there. Blockchains are a pretty inefficient, brute-force solution to decentralization too. I'm pro-Bitcoin, but I actively avoid any other project that involves a blockchain. I know there's a lot of others that feel the same way.
