Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

Through constant packet sizes, random background traffic and data pattern distortion we are taking the first step in our battle against sophisticated traffic analysis.

Yeah, I don't block instances, just individuals that have proven to not act in good faith. I try to expose myself to as many diverse opinions as possible, but know if the people holding those opinions can back it up with facts, or are at least willing to consider the possibility that they're wrong, and I try my best to do the same.

Problem I see with this is that a lot of "I block people who act in bad faith" have hair triggers when it comes to what they consider bad faith. I see their comments all over the place where its a disagreement and 6 comments in they're claiming the other person is acting in bad faith and they're blocking them

Yeah, that certainly happens.

I personally have only blocked like 2 users. It takes a lot for me to do it.
