Lets review:
You make a declarative, public statement about the length of your password, suggesting a problem
The required length of a password is stated at your link
Someone asks you the obvious question
You insult them with a complete non sequitur
Wow…

Instructive to read #Maven’s #About page and see who’s behind it.
Here: https://www.heymaven.com/about
Selected excerpts from “Who is behind Maven?”
“CEO Ken Stanley is an expert on open-ended discovery in both AI and human systems and … (most recently leading the Open-Endedness Team at #OpenAI ).”
At: “Is Maven part of a larger company?”
“No, Maven is an independent startup.”
But
"Here are a few of our investors, who also commented on their reasons for supporting Maven:
-- Ev Williams, co-founder of #Twitter: “Maven lets you follow your deepest curiosities instead of the trends of the day.”
-- Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: ”In Maven, there is a chance for AI to play a role in fixing much that is broken in our online discourse.”
-- Rana El Kaliouby, co-founder of Affectiva…"
Sam Altman
Where have I heard that name before?
Been looking into #Maven all morning
Just going to copy-paste two posts
The head admin/dev @jsecretan claims:
“Happy to remove any of your posts from Maven and cease ingestion from those servers going forward”
So, after the fact, individuals on Mastodon have to contact you personally and ask you to stop?
Is that your position?
Reminds me of Byron Miller (@Supernovae @universeodon.com) and his since-deleted “In four months of having full text seach [we haven’t heard from anyone who has be directly harmed]…”
That last is a paraphrase because Supernovae has pretty much removed any mention of himself from the Fediverse, right down to deleting his involvement with Mastodon on Github, causing renchap to opine:
“I suspect that @Supernovae closed it because they do not want to be involved with Mastodon anymore.”
here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21398#issuecomment-2145321855
Executive summary: there are a lot of people On Here™ who don’t appreciated every new idea all you bright-eyed young creatives can come up with
Couple thoughts, because I read some common misunderstandings
No one is running “Fediverse” anywhere or is homed on a “Fediverse” instance
It must be *implemented* in a specific software distribution (to varying degrees of accuracy) to exist
Again, no one is running “ActivityPub” anywhere or is homed on an “ActivityPub” instance
and
“Explicitly viewing instance content, user needs to sign up on their instance”
No
I can go to your instance in a web browser, to /public/local/ and read the public posts on your specific instance
Here: https://mstdn.social/public/local
But no, I cannot see anyone’s Home feed unless I follow that person, or follow hashtags which we use and Follow in common
Which is the only reason I saw your post in the first place, the hashtag #Fediverse

“Furthermore, what’s even the point of open standards if you don’t want them to be adopted”
JFC
Didn’t I reply to exactly this point somewhere else yesterday?
Here:
"Using “open protocols/standards” does not translate to “accept any content from anywhere”
It’s just like “Free Speech”
You can say any damn thing you want, but I am under no obligation whatsoever to read or listen to anything you say
Right?"
Nor does it require any sysadmin to accept any content from anywhere
“If #Threads were to somehow get an influence in #Mastodon, just switch to #lemmy switch to #pixelfed switch to #firefish So many choices”
This exposes how little (if anything) the writer understands about any of those #Fediverse distributions
Mastodon is not interchangeable with Lemmy
Mastodon is not interchangeable with Pixelfed
Mastodon is not interchangeable with Firefish
Period

"but after reading the rules, I definitely don’t want to use that server. Mainly because of this rule:
"No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies”
That’s not gonna fly for me. I definitely want to see people inciting violence against CEOs and stuff if the time comes."
You’re trolling, right?
Right?
Bad gambit
