Everything in moderation, including moderation

This works until you scale the team beyond 1 person and someone else needs to decipher the 30 line awk | sed | xargs monstrosity you created. Give me a real programming language any day.

Mods of communities can already see votes in communities they moderate. Admins of instances can already see votes on all content.

There are a few ways that the court can get this money. Disclaimer I am not an expert in bankruptcy law.

The most obvious one is what you said. The court can order the company's assets to be liquidated and then the proceeds of the sales would be distributed proportionally among the creditors.

Next they can go after the perpetrators like Sam Bankman-Fried and his crew. If they have any personal assets that they acquired as a result of their criminal activity at FTX, the court may be able to take some of that money to pay creditors.

Lastly is "clawbacks". Let's say you invested $1,000,000 in FTX and you were one of the lucky ones and happened to withdraw $10,000,000 in proceeds during the height of the scam. The court could claw back up to $9,000,000 from you since all of those proceeds were the result of a scam, even if you had no idea that FTX was shady. This is typically how the courts recover money from ponzi schemes like Bernie Madhoff

That mismatch between DMARC verification domain and the domain of the "from" header is called DMARC Alignment. Any modern spam filter is going to mark unaligned messages as spam. Especially if one of the domains is completely non-routable like .onion.

And even if you sent the email and it got through with your .onion address, no one would be able to reply to you because the replying mail server can't even look up the MX record for your .onion domain.

TL;DR you can send emails from .onion addresses if you want, but no clearnet server is going to accept them.

So when you send an email, you can actually put whatever you want in the from header. I could send an email that says from "[email protected]". The protocol doesn't care.

Do you know who does care? The email server you're sending messages to, because spammers and scammers love to try and send email with fake from addresses.

So, there's an entire verification system in place that involves looking up public keys from the website that the email claims to be from. (this is a gross over simplification. Look up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for more info). The problem is you can't even reach .onion sites from the clearnet to do the lookups. So no email servers would be able to validate your address is legitimate and so would drop it as spam.

This has nothing to do with email as a protocol. The court order discussed in the article asked for the recovery email address of an account. No actual email data was transferred.

You should definitely set up a DMARC record to prevent other people from using your email domain to send spam. If you don't have DMARC configured, other email servers will give any senders the benefit of the doubt and accept mail that claims to be from your domain.

You can just set the DMARC record to reject 100% of unverified mail and call it a day. Since you aren't sending anything it won't affect you.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that Dumbo should be able to fly. Its ears are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. Dumbo, of course, flies anyway. Because Dumbo doesn't care what you think is impossible.

"Embargo" sure is a funny way to say "launching pirate raids and missiles".

The term is metonym. It is when you use a characteristic or associated attribute of a thing as the name of that thing. A classic example would be "the crown" when talking about the monarch or "The Whitehouse" when talking about the president.

These ads only appear in the "promotions" section of Gmail, the section that is by definition for advertising emails. It's not great, but this is the least intrusive place to put ads.
