Or mastodon. But estabilished news media sites never mention non-VC backed solutions if they can help it.

I don’t see how it’s a privacy risk since you’re not exposing your IP or anything. Likewise the images are already uploaded to your servers, so there’s no extra privacy risk for the uploader.

yep

Lemmy and Mastodon as well for me. With a little bit of discord and matrix for my projects’ realtime chat

It’s not naivety. I try to be charitable as a matter of course because I’ve been personally burnt too many times by people being uncharitable towards me and my ND expressions. It’s a learned behaviour I have, to make sure I don’t attack someone for a mere misunderstanding. Of course even I have my limits.

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria

They seem to have burnt a lot of their regulars with this one. I read two heart wrenching posts from ND people in their comms who were respectively devastated for being banned frivolously, or being stressed about potentially being banned frivolously. And I totally understand it as RSD is a common symptom and most of us are traumatized for being constantly excluded. It’s part of the reason why I try to be careful with the banhammer because I know how much it affects ND people.

WTF. @CARCOSA@hexbear.net is now suspecting me being behind some sockpuppets because they claim I leaked private messages

By which they mean the screenshot I crossposted in the OP above from their own comm’s public comments!. That screenshot was in turn from a discussion in a public matrix chat for lemmy admins.

I am willing to give people the benefit of a doubt, this is some really fucking manipulative behavior and it’s pissing me off!

You can actually run it in async model without pictrs safety and just have it scan your newly uploaded images directly from storage. It just doesn’t prevent upload this way, just deletes them.

You don’t get public traffic redirected. It’s not how it works

It stops doing checks. Iirc you can configure it yes

I guess they were not technically lying about their actions although one could argue they were not really planning to truly shut them down but primarily to rename them. That said, they did lie about their motives and objectives for doing so to the others with the aim of manipulating them to do the same (i.e. shut down their own “drama comms”).

The point being that any such manipulation erodes the inter-instance camaraderie of admins.

You can see both on my screenshot and my link. They themselves claimed they were lying as a ruse. It’s not me editorializing.

ye, let’s hope l.w. doesn’t take too long with that. They’re still 3versions back.

Ah that’s the good shit!

Ye it’s a problem term. I don’t know if it can be reclaimed, but listing all the software is also not great and most people think of microblogging when they hear “Fediverse”. Maybe “Nestedverse” or “Forumverse”? I don’t really have a good catchy term in mind.

If piefed doesn’t have an apub ingest queue, it’s very likely it’s just missed federation activities.

Speaking personally, them stating they outright lied to other instance admins is just one step too much. Wielding our collaborative spirit for manipulative purposes just sows distrust, and is downright asocial behaviour. It’s so out of line, that I honestly don’t believe they actually lied. I think they were being earnest and only claimed they were being manipulative when caught by hexbears to save face. But if not, that’s even worse.

Because they blocked hexbear without a vote apparently.

Threadiverse is a subgroup of Fediverse. It’s just a way to say Lemmy + Mbin + Piefed, without saying just “Lemmy” or all the three every time. It has nothing to do with Meta and it existed before they created threads.net
