This has been an extremely obvious flaw in the modlog concept from the very start, and has been discussed on and off for years. IMO, it exposes a much wider issue with federated forums as currently implemented, despite the aggressive defense of some vague concept of “openness.”
Blindly casting every user and mod action out into the universe in plaintext with no recall mechanism is problematic, and it will only get more problematic as the technical prowess of the average user drops. Doxxing is just the tip of the iceberg here, and I don’t think most people appreciate just how massive the social engineering attack surface actually is. Rogue instances could silently build engagement profiles on users, and then actually serve them targeted malicious content. This could be widespread, and almost impossible to detect.




Radiative IR cooling is still orders of magnitude less efficient than convective cooling. There is precisely zero percent chance that orbital data centers will be less expensive than terrestrial ones.
