In addition to CSAM being illegal almost everywhere, it is also objectively morally abhorrent and should be shunned. There is no other possible stance to take.

Btw I think Microsoft knows this is a problem because OneDrive literally MAKES A SECOND DOCUMENTS FOLDER with the exact same name, except then some programs put their junk in that Documents folder instead.
KeepassXC is encrypted locally with no public servers :)
Make sure the thumb is outside the fingers :)
You can check yourself here: https://beehaw.org/instances and here: https://vlemmy.net/instances
But both instances list each other as connected.
Have you checked your subscriptions feed to see if posts are actually coming through? The pending status is functionally the same as the subscribed status from the user perspective.
Are there really people out there not using a password manager in current year?
Doubly so on federated platforms, though. Your ability to delete your posts, toots, and even DMs is at the mercy of other servers deciding to respect delete requests or ignore them. Not to mention completely invisible non-public nodes that are probably definitely as we speak hoovering up all data.
Nice, I might try this setup.
Nice try, Apple /j
It seems a lot worse than that… At least somebody would have to hack a 90s forum to see your DMs.
On one hand, those posts were way out of line as a professional representative of a company talking to one of their employer’s clients.
On the other hand, fuck Nic Chiallan for repeatedly threatening legitimate critics of the US Government with “DoD Lawyers” for using their protected first amendment rights. That’s actual government tyranny, or at least a pathetic attempt at such.
A single “entire” instance being ruined is a much smaller problem than a whole platform.
As for the duplicate community problem, I would love to see either a multi-reddit-like feature or the ability to merge/co-mingle “duplicate” communities across instances.
The solution to tyrannical mods or admins is simple: “take your ball and go home” by starting your own instance, or your own community on a separate instance. That said, instances and communities grow by growing trust between users and mods/admins by a track record of acting in a rational and trustworthy way.
Privacy is definitely a problem for Lemmy. You should assume everything you post or comment is public and in the open, and impossible to fully delete, because it is. Post accordingly. You could theoretically be identified by the sum total of all personally identifying information you freely post over a long enough time or by your writing style if a government considered you a real threat.
That said, many instances do not even require an email address. I don’t know whether instances store data like IP addresses, but you could check the lemmy source code to find out.
Edit: But also, who’s to say their server source code is unaltered? Federation lives and dies by trust and mutual cooperation, and that cannot be guaranteed.
I don’t want Meta or the Zuck to benefit in any way from any work I do posting on the fediverse.
I bet a lot of people got really butthurt about that building, but I think it’s amazing.
As somebody who owns no physical synths, I am very interested in what others say! I think for me on the software side, Helm has almost infinite possibilities/parameters and I would never run out of things to try.
I don’t know the exact details, But apparently, Google implemented xmpp wrong (possibly maliciously?) in a way where Google Talk users could see other xmpp servers’ content but those servers users could not see Google Talk content. Which meant that Google forced the Libre servers into obsolescence.
I don’t want my VPN provided by spooky Microsoft and attached to my Microsoft account.
What’s your favorite color? I’d have to go with cherry red, but white is also tempting.
Additionally, if there is a clearly unjust law that is worth breaking, the community and admins can reevaluate on a case by case basis. This is a good law and worth following.
As for this instance, if Ireland makes a bad law, we could always relocate the hosting or server to a freer country.
