    The gamble of the fediverse is that you’re outside the realm of the blatantly bad actors like the Zucks and Muskerburgs, but you’re also off the edge of the map. No reason to believe that there be no dragons here. Anyone can run one, which includes bad actors. I wouldn’t be implicitly trusting that the hundreds of individual volunteers that keep the fediverse afloat all have good intentions. cough.ml serverscough

        the software is open source. we can verify it doesn’t do anything bad. the server is what you cannot trust.
