Would definitely recommend furry.engineer - but if that's not your jam, pawb.fun is run by the same team. Reg is open for both with approval required, but the approval is just reading the rules and telling them a little about yourself. If they've approved you for Pawb Social, link that in the box, and they'll probably approve you for the Mastodon instance too.

Funny how this came out when there's been a renewed push for backdoors in cryptography. They all seem to forget that all it'd take for an adversary to get in is for them to find the backdoor... Sadly this kind of thing is pretty common in the radio sphere - the "basic" encryption (better called 'privacy code') on DMR radios is often one of 16 or 256 different codes, and the next step up is 40-bit ARCFOUR. For AES, you have to pay through the nose for software licences, and most users won't or can't bear the costs. The only good news is the higher-tier algorithms like TEA2/TEA3 weren't vulnerable - and they're more likely the ones in use by emergency services.

Well, I guess it's X-rated now. Can't tweet at work any more, it's the law.
