  • Just use KeePass and Syncthing. Then you don't have to rely on any cloud services.

  • yt-dlp

    It supports YouTube playlists also, so you can just give it a massive playlist and let it go

  • You can also mail them a letter requesting your data and they have to honor it 🤣

  • I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.

  • I do think there should be a practical maximum to the number of topics that come to a vote weekly, I think more than 2-3 would quickly become unmanageable for everyone.

    Yeah, I agree with that.

    We just couldn't come up with a number that didn't feel arbitrary, so the idea is that we'll run a week to see how many topics come up and try to pick the ones who's discussion threads seem to have run their course.

    I don't think it'll be a big issue right now since the community is pretty small but I can see that things could quickly get unmanageable. This is definitely an area that I think we need to iterate on.

  • By the, apparently, infinite transitive property of Naziism, the Fediverse was instantly turned into a Nazi Bar due to this post.

    Thanks a lot @HTTP_404_NotFound

  • Using ! then the community name creates a proper universal link, but the script is broken and you have to manually edit it: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/36299

    Ideally the instance software should allow a user to set a 'automatically resolve community egress links locally' option. Until then it'll annoy regular users who're not going to bother with greasemonkey userscripts.

    Oh, the exciting world of being an early adopter!

  • It's been ages since I did IT. If I had a user who wanted to run Linux then I knew that, on average, they were going to cause me a lot less headaches with random user issues so I wouldn't mind being flexible. Endpoint security will be different, but a lot of network security is handled through network devices that don't care what the client is.

  • Noticing a lot of suspicious activity coming from there...

  • I think de-federation should be very limited.

    It should be used as a tool to fight spam, disassociate with instances allowing the commission of crimes, that propagates abusive content (CSAM, Doxing, Targeted Harassment, SWATing, etc) or other things that cause direct real-world harm.

    De-federation should not be used as a political tool to divide social media along partisan lines. If people cannot handle distasteful opinions then they have access to the block button. If users from other instances break the rules here, then they can be banned from here. If you find other communities distasteful, then don't go there.

  • Defederating is separating the group so that you’re no longer at the table with the asshole and their asshole friends

    The issue is that you're no longer choosing who you interact with you're choosing who everyone interacts with. You're walking away with a table that other people are sitting at. This isn't Reddit you're not banning their subreddit, they're not deplatformed, you're just adding them to the block list of everyone on your instance.

    You have no right to tell me what I can see and respond to anymore than I have a right to tell you who you can and cannot block.

  • Big 'Ancient Aliens' Energy

  • Don't de-federate unless they're allowing the planning of violence, CSAM material, or actual abuse.

    As a leftist I see it like this:

    Blocking someone is: "I don't want to see this"

    De-federating is: "I don't want you to see this"

    Blocking someone is: Ignoring a person saying bigoted things.

    De-federating is: Jailing a person saying bigoted things.

    If you can't handle people saying shit you don't like then you need thicker skin. If you can't engage in a conversation with a person who shares an opinion that you fine distasteful then you need to seek maturity.

    If you can't disagree with someone without physically attacking them, then you don't deserve to be part of a community. If you can't exist without abusing another person, then you don't deserve to be part of a community.

  • I'm constantly linking people to Lemmy communities when I'm posting. I'm deleting my account on the 30th but until then I'll shill for Fediverse

  • Serious question: What is the alternative to open registration? Invite-only? What is the expectation?

    Seems a bit kneejerk to defederate, that's employing the nuclear option as the first step. It doesn't leave a lot of room for dialog.
