   One day we will stop positing technical workarounds to "evil administrator" attacks.
   
   "This person has (and must have) 100% access to everything, how do we stop them from accessing it?!"

     @firefly_lightning Yeah - that's definitely a thing I feel

     @silverwizard I mean,even without the fact that I know my administrator personally and know I can trust them.... I trust fediverse admins more than twitter and facebook and google admins who also have all that access because they're not working for a company that only cares about it's continued existence and profit

     @silverwizard Yes, definitely, but I think it would be reasonably true for anyone. Like I understand the anxiety, but what was that article in computer security? The one that essentially says, you need to find trust somewhere for the web to work... like understanding that it's essentially paranoia

     @silverwizard @firefly_lightning That was such a power move by Musk to weaken the “Your Mastodon admin can read your DM” position.

     @firefly_lightning @me I think there's definitely something to be said for the fact that you can't selfhost everything
     
     
     Though I definitely am wondering if I can get a block of IPv6 and just host my own damn BGP because my ISP isn't doing it
