  • Well, no, not really. If I forget a password I’ve only lost access to the one site, and it’s recoverable. Just an partial failure. Not going to lose everything unless I literally die in which case I don’t care about anything anymore. And no one is going to breach my brain short of tying me to a chair, and that’s not really my threat model.






  • Password managers are OK but I have hesitations on them personally. I’m leery of putting all my most high-value stuff in one place behind one password. What I do instead is memorize a truly unreasonable amount of passwords, though, which I recognize is not a reasonable expectation for others. For threat models in which you’re not worried about in-person attacks, it may actually be a good idea to just write your passwords down, maybe keep your password book in something with a lock on it. I’m not advocating for any particular method, just putting it out there so people can make an informed decision.










  • Much more so. Because the people that aren’t shitlords wind up finding and staying in a stable group, while the people who can’t maintain human relationships get perpetually booted back into the rando pool, so it becomes more and more concentrated awfulness all the time.
