- Comment on GoToSocial empowers you to have your own home on the Fediverse - with unique controls 1 week ago:
How do we feel about the idea of reply controls on Lemmy threads? Limit replies to members of the community, same instance, etc...
- Comment on You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica. 1 week ago:
Bummer.
It depends what your threat model is. Admins being dickheads about who downvoted what was the main issue at the time so I made it about choosing which admins to trust.
If future Lemmy versions show votes to mods (not just admins) then Pandora's box would be well and truly open so we'd need to rethink this.
- Comment on Mail-in-a-Box - simple email server 1 week ago:
MailCow is similar except uses docker. I expect that will mean easier maintenance as it is less tightly bound to the underlying OS.
- Comment on How likely do you think there will be a run on the banks? 2 weeks ago:
One time, in 2008. It was an envelope, tho.
- Comment on What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms? 2 weeks ago:
I guess NodeBB or Discourse would not qualify as they were forums that now have AP tacked on as an afterthought. Same for WordPress.
But yeah all the big names are original, fediverse-first software.

It's a start. 100% tax above $1bn is my preference.
- Comment on How to mute posts containing certain keywords on Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
During onboarding of a new account, https://piefed.social asks you this:
... and sets up an appropriate keyword filter based on your answer.
- Comment on Is making user interaction between instances easier even possible in current state of fediverse and the protocol? 3 weeks ago:
The Devs of every fediverse software run the biggest instances of that type and those instances don't have this problem.
- Comment on Is making user interaction between instances easier even possible in current state of fediverse and the protocol? 3 weeks ago:
Thing is, search bars are for typing in keywords, not urls.
Certain other federated reddit clones just have a 'add remote community' button on the communities list.
- Comment on FediDB has stoped crawling until they get robots.txt support 3 weeks ago:
Ok if you want to focus on that single phrase and ignore the whole rest of the page which documents decades of stuff to do with search engines and not a single mention of api endpoints, that's fine. You can have the win on this, here's a gold star.
- Comment on FediDB has stoped crawling until they get robots.txt support 3 weeks ago:
It's been a consensus for decades
Let's see about that.
Wikipedia lists http://www.robotstxt.org as the official homepage of robots.txt and the "Robots Exclusion Protocol". In the FAQ at http://www.robotstxt.org/faq.html the first entry is "What is a WWW robot?" http://www.robotstxt.org/faq/what.html. It says:
A robot is a program that automatically traverses the Web's hypertext structure by retrieving a document, and recursively retrieving all documents that are referenced.
That's not FediDB. That's not even nodeinfo.
- Comment on FediDB has stoped crawling until they get robots.txt support 3 weeks ago:
lol FediDB isn't a crawler, though. It makes API calls.
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 3 weeks ago:
Nice channel, I've just added it to https://piefed.social/topic/wholesome to help people find it.
- Comment on Changes to Lemmy/PieFed to adjust to living under fascism 3 weeks ago:
I hope you feel better soon.
- Comment on Changes to Lemmy/PieFed to adjust to living under fascism 3 weeks ago:
Yes this is a good minimum. We need our instance-chooser guides/websites to surface this information so people can make choices about which instances they join.
Currently if you go to https://joinmastodon.org/servers or https://join-lemmy.org/instances there is no way to filter for VPN compatibility, allowing disposable email, logging policy or legal jurisdiction (in the case of join-lemmy). Or political alignment, defederation policy...

- Comment on Hundreds of US government sites go offline 3 weeks ago:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/ and https://cia.gov work for me.
- Comment on Unwanted: The scores of migrants Italy refuses to take back 3 weeks ago:
Meanwhile, houses in Italy are selling for $1 because there aren't enough people.
- Comment on A resource to help introduce people to the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
It needs to be short enough to fit into a tweet. That's the attention span people have.

Turn off all the logging
- Comment on Everyone knows your location 4 weeks ago:
The Pi-Hole itself is very straightforward if you're cool with using docker - the example docker-compose.yaml on Docker Hub just worked for me. But getting your devices to use the Pi-Hole instead of their usual DNS server can be harder than it should be.
- Comment on Everyone knows your location 4 weeks ago:
No.
- Comment on Everyone knows your location 4 weeks ago:
I have zero social media apps or games on my phone but my pihole is still getting a hell of a workout. This is nuts.
- Comment on Everyone knows your location 4 weeks ago:
This post prompted me to finish setting up my Pi-Hole.

Yup, I bought $4 more worth of Nvidia.
You can tell when I do investments I play with the big boys

The censorship goes way beyond obvious stuff like taiwan.
Ask DeepSeek "What is a tankie?" and see what happens.
