That’s a lot of text for “we’re not open source, please don’t trust us and please use another system”.

I am disappointed …

It initially was that. Also the name wasn’t meant to stick around forever.

But, out of a sudden, between updates, not even the new website URLs ready?

I don’t follow Minetest development that closely anymore, but last time I checked there were no issues or pull requests on their GitHub, nor something official regarding a name change in the forums.

This feels like there are just a bunch of people haphazardly deciding there is a new name now.

It IS a terrible name. But it also is an over one decade old brand.

It will be hard to propagate the new name and have it as recognizable as “Minetest”.

Is this an out-of-season April Fools’ joke?

Definitely seeing some people complain about the design changes

The great thing about Mastodon is, that you can freely chose what client you use. If you dislike the original client or web interface, just use Elk, Semaphore, Tusky, etc. whatever you prefer.

If you research this, you’ll find the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory website, and more specific, the Center for High Assurance Computer Systems, listing Tor as one of their products.

The Navy also has beef with the Army over Tor.

Why do people always think that Tor is a tool for anonymity? Its a government-funded system to pierce through other countries firewalls. Most exit nodes are controlled by the US government.

Daily reminder to defederate from and block threads.net (and optionally all instances that do not do the same).
