People call stuff like Lemmy, 4chan or Reddit social media too but to me it’s always these Facebook or Instagram style self-presentation platforms. All of them suck ass.

The actual funny (or sad) thing about this: even without a length limit all they do is make the password less secure because every constraint just reduces the possible password space.

As someone who generates every password with a password manager those sites are a pain in the ass because you have to somehow get these constraints into the generator.

Why should we care? So address space may run out eventually - that’s our ISPs’ problem.

Other than that I actually don’t like every device to have a globally unique address - makes tracking even easier than fingerprinting.

That’s also why my VPN provider recommends to disable IPv6 since they don’t support it.
