So they identified as men, and the event allowed the men to come? Then I’m failing to see what the issue is?

what happens if you don’t have a phone number? you’re just prevented from having a bank account?

that’s good to know. I’ll just switch everything over to google authenticator then.

phone numbers are typically tied to your name/identity, and phone companies can locate you using their towers and such. Giving a company your phone number is identical to giving a company your full legal name and address.

there’s quite a lot of services that want phone for verification/2fa/whatever. whenever I run into them I usually just refuse to use the service altogether.

websites explicitly said to get one or the other so I did.

do all authenticators work for all services?

I like the app setup rather than shoving everything into a browser. But I’m not a fan of this 2fa stuff. I get the point is security, but let me decide which app/method to use, and whether I want to use it at all. Otherwise it’s just annoying.

they want your phone number so they can track you.

No offense to companies but I’m honestly sick of companies forcing 2fa. Every single one seems to have a different shitty way of doing it. Like why on earth do I need two different authenticator apps on my phone (authy&google authenticator)? Some do sms/phone number, but then yell at you and prevent you from doing 2fa if you have a “bad phone number”. This happened on discord where I’m locked out of certain servers because I can’t do phone verification, and I can’t do it because discord doesn’t like my phone number. Twitter was the same way for a long while (couldn’t do 2fa/phone verification due to them not liking my number).

From the article it sounds like they’re doing authenticator app or sms. I’m guessing sms won’t work for me, so app it is. I decided to dig to see which authenticator app they use and they list: 1password, authy, lastpass, and microsoft… no google?

Honestly, even email requirements for accounts is annoying because you know it just ends up spamming you. is the future where we’re gonna have to have 30 different authenticator apps on our phone?

and how you’d like it to respond to your questions.

Isn’t it still censored though? After a while it started refusing to do just this.

I’m not really in the mindset of blocking people, but that’s good to know.

I know some people on lemmy.world were discussing defederating with beehaw because they were thinking it was annoying/confusing to have beehaw stuff show up even when beehaw defederated with them (and thus results in situations like this).

personally, I’m of the philosophy that it’s good to federate with as many instances as possible. and that’s how kbin has been doing things so far. other instances may wish to intentionally select which instances they federate to craft particular experiences (like what beehaw did). just depends on what you’re after.

this helped clarify something for me. which was whether it just nuked the replies to the lemmy.world/sh.itjust.works comment, or only that one comment. seems like it just removes the entire chain.

Yes. Think of it like blocking someone. beehaw defederated from sh.itjust.works so they can’t see anything from sh.itjust.works. not comments, not threads, not communities. 100% blocked. whereas the reverse isn’t true. you’re not able to get communities or content from beehaw (because they blocked and aren’t sending it to you), but their comments and threads elsewhere in the fediverse are still shared with you. This thread is hosted on lemmy.ml, so everyone federated with lemmy.ml can see it and interact with it; this is why you can see the beehaw user’s comment.

However, since beehaw defederated with sh.itjust.works, your reply remains unseen by them. sh.itjust.works could mutually defederate/block beehaw and you wouldn’t see the comment. but that’s up to your instance whether you wanna do that or not.

just an FYI, despite you seeing their comment, they can’t see yours.
