Definitely have backup passphrase/passkey. But is it true that (again assuming just one device) if I log out.....then later log back in with the Passkey....that messages received while signed out won't decrypt? That will be hard to explain to family.

Hello fellow !iowa@midwest.social -- I am currently enjoying a pop for which the west coast just doesn't understand.
I guess for me....folks should try to assume good intentions at the start. I often find (any/all sides) quickly put up defenses, presume the worst, and find ways to be insulted where they wouldn't have if they were also behaving in good faith. Assholes exist, but let them prove that they are first.
Popper's Paradox of tolerance underscores the need for thoughtful consideration, but it doesn't dismiss the importance of civil discourse. Popper himself called for the "tolerance of the intolerant" within the bounds of rational criticism highlights that while we acknowledge the limits of tolerance, engaging in respectful dialogue remains crucial. By upholding civil discourse, challenging ideas through reasoned arguments, and embracing Popper's notion, we can maintain a tolerant society while fostering understanding and progress.
How does that actually work in practice? Its a good model to strive for, but impossible to do in reality.
I, too, like to think of MLK in matters such as this:
"Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they cannot communicate; they cannot communicate because they are separated."
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
Also...DON'T MAKE TOO MANY COMMUNITIES!!! I know we all have our favorite niche subreddits that we'll miss, but we need to reach a critical mass with a core set...and then organically break out communities into more niche communities.
