For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • For one thing, it still has the option for an additional fingerprint lock to open the app.
    Sure, my phone itself is locked anyway, usually.
    I still like having the second lock built into the app itself for the odd time (however rare) that I hand my unlocked phone to someone.
    I know they’re not snooping into my signal messages while I blink or misclick on a notification or whatever.

    It may not be a big deal for some/most but I like that feature and I can’t imagine that’s something that needs much upkeep once initially implemented.

    I’m sure it’s not the only feature, but it’s one I use often.
















  • SJW doesn’t ban email domains, IPs nor VPNs.

    To my knowledge, we’ve alsp never shared specific details about users with dotworld or other instances for that matter.
    I myself would take offense about leaking any of this info.

    The only thing I can even think of is we might have shared something like this once or twice during bigger spam attacks:

    this last wave of spammer were all made in the last hour and fit the following pattern “5 letters, 5 numbers @ sketchy domain dot com” without sharing actual user info.

    Edit:
    I don’t know about dotworld, but at least on our end, there’s only TheDude and me who even have access to see a user’s email address.
    The only other times we’ve really even checked one was before 2FA & password reset worked properly.

    We even have users who didn’t want to provide an email at all which we’ve verified manually through matrix.
