You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
@self Just did a quick test, and at least for me when I am logged in it shows the account as suspended, but when I look at that same link in a private tab it immediately redirects to the circumstances.run instance and shows the account info there.
@self Gerard’s page, for comparison: https://hachyderm.io/@davidgerard@circumstances.run
Not sure if these pages render different if you’re not logged in.
@self Okay, mawhrin’s account is viewable from Hachyderm (https://hachyderm.io/@mawhrin@circumstances.run). So looks like it’s specific to Gerard.
@self I don’t think I follow anyone else on circumustances.run. If you have one handy, would you post another account name from that instance and I’ll take a look?
@dgerard Not sure where else to post this, but I’ll post it here since this may be related to this thread. Either your account is directly banned on Hachyderm now, or circumstances.run has been defederated. Not sure how all that works, but here’s a screenshot of what your account looks like from a Hachyderm POV.
In case this doesn’t translate to Lemmy, it says your account is suspended.

“And now they’re secure enough in that control that they do this fully mask-off shit …”
That whole DRM-the-web attestation thing Google proposed last year was eye opening. Sure, they had been evil for a while, but the fact that they knew they could start proposing stuff like that at all is just so bleak. In a sane world, that behaviour would instantly result in serious antitrust lawsuits.
1·4 months ago@self @mii I think storing session tokens in
localStorageis considered unsafe becauselocalStorageis more open to XSS attacks. The bigger concern, though, is using JWT for session management at all, which is widely considered a bad idea. Here’s one (of many) articles that go into that topic: https://dzone.com/articles/stop-using-jwts-as-session-tokens
@TheAlbatross @dgerard I just stick with all 4-3 openings these days to get around this. That may be considered inferior by pros, but it doesn’t make a big difference at the amateur level and it prevents endless obnoxious 3-3 invasions.
@sailor_sega_saturn @rook It always annoyed me that the super secret death spot in that Batman episode ended up being in the most blindingly obvious place.
@Architeuthis @tante I often hear it said that the TREACLE crowd is a section of early 2000s Internet atheists that went on to invent their own god, but I don’t think it gets pointed out enough how much stupider their belief system is compared to the religions they constantly mock.
@self @froztbyte Another big part of it is the obsession with the “young genius disruptor coder”. Which has resulted in management buying into endless fads foisted on us by twenty-somethings, and then inevitably having to undo half the things they implemented 5 years later. Well, except for React, which apparently we can’t get rid of but must forever keep reimplementing with whatever new new pattern will actually make it scale for real this time.
@self Oh no, it’s the “build” language. This really is web3 all over again, isn’t it?
@dgerard I think that all depends on whether or not my curiosity is strong enough to overcome my sense that sending a message to a Mastodon admin team about why the writer who inadvertently got Elon Musk and Grimes to hook up is banned on my server would be too-online a thing to do, even for me. So, yeah, I’ll probably end up doing that around 2:00 a.m. this morning.
