MacVoices MacVoices #23001: MacVoices Live! - Mastodon Instance Liabilities & LastPass Hack Details (1)
The MacVoices Live! panel kicks off this session with a discussion of the potential liabilities and issues associated with spinning up your own Mastodon server. If you open it to other users, you could also be opening yourself to a variety of potential problems, legal and otherwise. Moving your identity and your content from servers if the one you selected goes dark can be done may or may not be easy, but is it important? Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Web Bixby, Eric Bolden, and Jim Rea then turn their attention to the LastPass hack and their handling of notifications. (Part 1)
