YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
  • This sounds a lot like “not my problem.” I am familiar with this type of response, but usually this level of irresponsible indifference comes from those evil VC backed companies. Except they don’t usually say it out loud.

    If this is the attitude of the devs, I am deleting all my glowing recommendations of lemmy on other sites.

    Is this really the attitude of the devs?

  • Ok, sure. But the difference is that I can’t make my own Reddit instance and then see all Reddit users IP addresses.

    What is the vetting process of getting an instance federated?

    Like if I was an authoritarian henchman, could I make an instance with a community about cats, get federated, then see all the IPs of users calling my boss a pooh bear, on all other instances?

    Edit: what about swatting?

  • Ex-Twitter leader Jack Dorsey endorses RFK Jr. for president
  • I have a non-hot take on this:

    Humans are just not evolved for billionaire levels of wealth/resource disparity.

    For most of our evolution it was impossible to hoard that much power.

    Of course these people begin to act completely nuts. They literally can’t help it.

    Disclaimer: This is not a plea for communism or some other obsolete solution.

  • YSK: Hitting submit more than once will post your comment/thread multiple times, even with the lag
  • I have not written real code for a very long time, and I don’t know the lemmy code base at all… but I described this bug to GPT-4 and it just turned me on to idempotency.

    The call could succeed, but the connection breaks before the server can tell its client about it.

  • Just to add to this, at least in wefwef, I sometimes get an error when I tap Post, saying that it failed. I am then left on the page, and can hit Post again. But it didn’t fail the first time, the post was made.

    So this is not just users being impatient. There is a bug.
