Email in itself is decentralised. You can set up your own email server and send and receive from it. However, your emails will be often flagged as spam unless you perform some form of black magic and allegedly, you are more vulnerable to spam (although I have been running my own email for months now that’s on the open web and hasn’t been spammed). Some hosts like Hetzner and various ISPs don’t allow you to open the ports needed for email, at least without giving them a ring and explaining why you need it.

Eh, it’s quite leftist here and VERY atheistic but honestly I’ve seen more insane takes come out of Reddit. Here there is reason and sense to those takes, as well as substance.

If we’re including xmpp and matrix, then we should include Email 🤭

If your SSH is using key authentication and you don’t have anything silly as an attack vector, you should be grand.

Florida man strikes back

A slur for indians pretty sure

Because the Bible doesn’t mention water Baptism as being a strict requirement for salvation. Such as the thief on the cross. Catholics also hold other unbiblical beliefs such as purgatory, indulgences, masses for the dead, papal infallibility, etc

Within our lifetimes, God reveals Himself to us. It’s the following of the Holy Spirit which leads us to Jesus. However, it’s next to impossible these days for the vast majority of the world’s population to not hear about Jesus. God knows everyone’s hearts. I think this video explains it well. However, basically everyone who has access to the comment I made and this forum has access to the Gospel. It is very much a free offering. It’s also worth realising that missionary work is also important, and there’s a reason why I want people to have another chance to hear about Jesus

Difference is luxury houses cost money, Jesus does not

Good thing the Catholics are wrong, then

For the sake of semantics, the Church of England was created in 597, what Henry VIII did was excommunicate the Bishop of Rome / Pope over a divorce, thus joining the Reformation movement, albeit not for good reason.

I think it depends on the Anglican denomination. The Church of Ireland still likes to keep itself distinct from Roman Catholicism in many ways, but this is getting ahead of the conversation.

Give an answer to how interpreting the Bible as part literal and part figurative is different from how a Baptist would.

So how’s that different from protestantism, except from a church existing to tell you which is which?

Me when I make things up

Part 1, Section 1, Chapter 2, Article 3 Paragraph 107 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches

The inspired books teach the truth. “Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit, we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures.”

And 116 further reinforces there is a literal interpretation of scripture that exists. If someone thinks the Bible is simply allegorical then they aren’t a Catholic at all, nevermind Christian

The offer is for everyone, people choose whether or not to take Him up on it

If God only accepts certain people, then why did He die for everybody?

You forgot the bit where it was actually satan who ruined his life 😒

Gmail and outlook both took off though

The Facebook scare is absolute ridiculous. Threads integration can mainstream the fediverse. Basically everyone on Mastodon doesn’t want anything to do with Meta, There’s no way Threads would suck up a good enough amount of Mastodon’s target audience for an extinguish to do enough damage.

Conduit seems to have next to no docs on actually installing it for some reason.
