weknowbetter··on Google is apparently taking down all/most Fediverse apps from the Play Store
I use Mastodon to get away from the negativity and hate speech on Twitter and Reddit.

In my experience, there has been a very minimal amount of hate speech on my timeline.

The nature of the decentralized, federated system does allow hate groups to easily gain a platform. However it's just as easy, if not easier to prevent their instance from communicating with yours.

It's very much NOT like the torrent analogy you made and a lot more in line with your Reddit analogy.

I would encourage you to go to https://mastodon.online and check it out!

You can't prove a god is not real. You can though, prove that the Bible is not 100% historical fact as is claimed by a lot of mainstream religions.

So I would argue that you can prove a religion is false/incorrect by comparing the claims of it's holy book to the available historical records. If they don't match, I think we can agree that at least one set is false.

If this is something you're curious about I highly recommend the YouTube channel Strange Parts. One of their most popular videos features their host building an iPhone from parts sourced in the markets of Shenzhen.

weknowbetter··on MyBrandNewLogo – A 3-step Logo Generator
So how does trademark work with a logo that is essentially made entirely out of CC artwork? Wouldn't another company be able to legally "steal" your logo in theory?
weknowbetter··on MySQL client allows MySQL server to request any local file
"Server attacks client" is pretty common with web browsers. Probably more common than the other way around. Much less common with Database clients of course.
