No, it still requires a phone number, but you can hide your phone numbers from other users now.

https://slidge.im/ with an XMPP server.

I second this recommendation 👍 Generally it should work better with a controller as well.

While theoretically true, the main bottleneck with Lemmy seems to be the database performance, so with both projects depending on PostgreSQL for that, I somewhat doubt that Piefed being written in Python will have much noticeable effect in reality.

The base consumer models from regular brands usually have no write cache and are thus cheaper, and obviously slower, but for data storage that doesn't matter so much.

But you can also look into 2.5" HDDs if you are looking for power savings and noise reduction over regular HDDs.

The last one in the list.

The vote is missing one song.

Well, I think a personalized message (maybe in the primary language of the instance) is more effective than some standard text thats everywhere.

I think most instance admins realize that there is also a need to support the devs, and a single place that advertises both and can get linked from the sidebar might also be more bring more donations to the devs.

Well, obviously if you host from your home ISP, people will be able to figure out your home's approximate location via a reverse IP search.

But otherwise go for it. It's not that hard to do and a nice learning experience.

Imho the best would be one that is customizable by the instance admins.

The militias in Rojava (northern Syria) are kinda working that way. There are no real ranks and they were quite effective fighting ISIL and Turkish proxy forces in recent years.

This guy also being a perpetrator of bullying because he didn't like moderation decisions makes this post a bit ironic though 🤷

This is odd because I know a few mainland Chinese people that use XMPP without problems (and afaik without a VPN).

Sounds like your server got blocked for another reason?

Well, instead of leaking metadata to Signal, AWS, Cloudflare, Google/Apple and your ISP, like Signal does, RCS only leaks it to your ISP /s

You can easily redirect xmpp to port 443 which is not blocked by most firewalls. If you have problems with firewalls or public wifis your xmpp server is misconfigured.

The actual military grade (xmpp based) messengers implement security lables, meaning messages are tagged with the required security clearance and if you invite random people to a chat they can't see the messages.

Something like that could be also interesting for a Lemmy frontend to make it easier to share images on instances that have strict upload limits.

Hmm, that is odd. I guess I need to double check my Nginx config for lemmy-ui then. You have your setup documented somewhere?

Edit: ah, you run Photon as the main UI and lemmy-ui somewhere else? I think specifically the split between frontend and backend on the root domain somehow makes Anubis fail to set the correct cookie.

That would require the authors of these AI scrapers to actually give a f*ck. The problem is that they don't, and just scrape what ever they can find repeatatly almost like a ddos attack on the open web.

What are your thoughts on blocking AI scraper access? Any attempts to improve that on the side of Lemmy? Basic things like allowing to customize the robots.txt easily would already help.

I also recently tried this new AI block tool called Anubis with Lemmy, but for some reason it fails with Lemmy-ui. Might be interesting to investigate further.
