One of the beers I like mentions something about following the old German beer purity laws. Which one was...

Aha! Weihenstephaner! That was it. Or... was it warsteiner? I'd have to dig the cardboard out of the recycling.

Or Hoegaarden?

Look, I thought it was reasonable because I hoped it would turn the rest of the forum users against the leak source.
Everyone getting locked out for a week should... hopefully have the chilling effect I'm looking for?

Some people just like the easy answers.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Lock the entire forum into read-only mode for a week, and plaster the leakers name on the front page as the reason for the lock.

There was also that one wave of denim covered everything.

Looks sweet and futuristic, but it wouldn't last a week over here in the states. Some dipshit would try crushing it with their lifted diesel pickup to compensate for their tiny pp.

But then again, that can be solved with a pair of concrete bollards. One on each side.

Mostly just the resilience and control. An outage or censorship incident on one node can be contained, isolated, and users can easily go around it.
"Oh no, my preferred instance went down!" switches to another instance with the exact same content

Also, I think some European governments run Mastodon servers for themselves. Which sounds weird, but makes more sense in an IT security context. Their data, stored on their servers, that they manage. No third party business contractors needed.

I would have dropped one of those ol' fart juice packets we had as kids and walked away.

Oh. Right. This one's being delegated to his son.

Knowing Trump's business track record, it'll be bankrupt before the end of his term, and earn the ire of every incumbent telecom and tech company with lobbyist money to spend.

Unless you're in a group of furries. Then it's either a poker face, or suggestive exclamations of OwO and UwU.
