Thank you for laying it all out there. It sounds like you’re doing it the right way 🙂
Well I didn’t want to have a bio, but Lemmy doesn’t let me null it out, so I guess I’ll figure out something to put here later.

Thank you for providing some context for this. It kind of sounds like a fork might not have been necessary if Ernest was willing to make @melroy a maintainer. Do you know if there’s any philosophical reason he wasn’t willing to do that? Real life stuff comes and goes, but it seems silly to halt the “official” project that others are relying on and still wanting to improve upon and thereby force a fork. As it stands right now, it sounds like it will be awkward for Ernest to come back in and try to restart work on kbin and will be increasingly awkward the more that mbin progresses, becomes the standard, and the code bases diverge.
It’s kind of interesting to watch in open source which projects survive and which get forked and essentially made irrelevant. It basically becomes a referendum on the vision of the original individual or team and how well they’re serving the collective user base. If they aren’t accepting PR’s and competently managing development, they’ll likely be forked. So I’m glad to see that folks are making progress with mbin and I can’t help thinking that its entire existence is probably due to individuals not being able to agree on a roadmap for the platform. If anybody has any info on any drama that led to this, I’d be curious to read about it.
It is a server config option. Lemmy.ml uses a banned word list, while other instances don’t. The words are still there and visible from instances that don’t censor.
Yeah, the defederation metaphor falls apart as you described because subscriptions to communities requires two way communication, which isn’t going to happen because beehaw isn’t going to acknowledge subscription requests from instances it’s blocked. Instances blocked by beehaw would probably have to do the same type of thing Threads or Mastodon users would have to do to bring in Lemmy content by manually bringing it in via searching the federation link.
“Major rework” is almost underselling it lol
40 changed files with 1,219 additions and 753 deletions
I wonder how long this rework has been in progress because I can’t imagine anyone having that much time in a day.
Yeah, you can also take this opportunity to try out some other apps that are popping up. Liftoff is really active right now and should be backwards compatible with Lemmy 0.17.x
I’m hoping the Fediverse unites behind the Fuck Meta position. Not just no, but Hell no.
If Reddit were to reach out privately to this group, the first thing they’d probably do is ask for proof. It’s trivially easy to provide proof you’ve carried out a hack; you just present some specific information that was not public and describe what all else you have in specific enough terms they know you’re not bluffing. (Or, I suppose you could just send them your whole dump if you really want to make it clear what all you have). The only way the rest of us will be able to validate these claims is if they leak and it either matches users’ own private account info or Reddit issues a disclosure about the hack (which I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to do regardless).
Unless you have a pretty beefy server, you really do not want to try to process and store all the federation events and data from everything on all the big instances. I would recommend just using one of the Lemmy community indexing tools to search and discover communities across instances and only join ones you and your users are interested in.
Lol, they’re 100% going to lose me as a customer. The only reason I used them as a registrar was because it was quick and easy to integrate into Google Workspaces and manage everything like DNS from one site. This is honestly a pretty annoying move.
I’m really interested what that would look like because much of their business depends on their ad revenue.
And nobody’s used Xvid for at least the last like 10 years. And even back when the Xvid codec was used, ffmpeg was the way to do it lol
I’m curious if this is guaranteed accurate information or if GPT gives hallucinations here too lol
