Kbin can block whole domains

Semi-proud to say that after an intro day showing him the scope of the software, my replacement quit. We tried to tell him in the interview but maybe he just didn’t believe us.

Anyone know of an iOS version?

Looks neat! Anyone know of an iOS version?

Just responded. Check my other comment.

Why fork Pleroma in the first place?

As many of you will be aware, back in 01/2022, there was something of a schism in the smallish group of Pleroma developers with no single cause in my eyes - it was the culmination of years of mounting tensions between two competing interest groups. Pleroma has ever been an uneasy alliance between “free speech” people and free software people, and as the project’s creator aligned more with the former group over time, it was only really a matter of time before something acted as a catalyst to break the alliance.

I shan’t elaborate too much on that schism here, but the catalyst was one developer who both aligned with the “free speech” group and refused to treat other developers with any sort of respect (whilst being a generally unpleasant person to boot) - this broke the developer group in two and spawned the short-lived “newroma” (see, at least I’m not that bad at naming).

[…]

Most of the developers that split off in the fork then went back to Pleroma, after a band-aid fix from the almost-never-present project creator.

I do not believe they have meaningfully reformed anything since the schism, and it’s naught but a power vacuum waiting for someone to take up the mantle of maintainer again - given the track record of the above, I do not trust that whoever ends up winning that power struggle will be someone I wish to side with.

Thus, I’m doing it myself. With blackjack and anime music.

If you like Pleroma but found it problematic, definitely check out Akkoma!

I’m pretty sure Akkoma allows for several levels before the admins fully defed another instance. Like, I think one is that they can take an instances off the public timeline. And I think it’ll be great when individual users can block instances (on the server side) so it doesn’t have to be on the admins and have ad much of an effect on the communities at large.

I’ve been surprised not to see this with any of the fediverse platforms I’ve browsed. Instead, they’re all using Docker Compose. Any idea why that is?

Appropriate username. I’d say both. Both is good.

Does Firefish/Misskey/Foundkey work seamlessly with Mastodon like Lemmy works with Kbin?

vger.app works now

Now that I’m on desktop, I checked and this was just added in 0.18.2: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

The weird thing (which they’re also discussing elsewhere in this thread: https://upvote.au/comment/148846) is that it links to OP’s instance rather than the community’s instance.

I think it would be best if each post had a canonical tag pointed at the originating server’s version of that post. The lemmy ui generates a canonical tag now but I’m not sure it doesn’t just point to itself.

Since you’re the only one, you might consider setting an expiration on the media so your local storage serves as more of a cache. Like, I’m sure you’re far more likely to revisit a recent thread than a super old one, and as long as the original instance is still around you could redownload the media. This might require software patches though idk
