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

Tech journalists never learn anything from history. No Vc-funded social media is good

For now. They’re still in their growth phase. If they ever become dominant and they need to make money, they’ll turn into a walled garden like every other. Everyone seems to forget that Twitter, Reddit and Facebook were also all about openness at the start

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

https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety and the companion app https://github.com/db0/pictrs-safety which can be installed as part of your lemmy deployment in the docker-compose (or with a var in your ansible)

Not all web traffic, just the images to check. With any decent bandwidth, it shouldn’t be an issue for most. It also setup in such a way as to not cause a downtime if the checker goes down.

The software is setup in such a way that you can run it on your pc if you have a local gpu. It only needs like 2 gb vram

Listen, we have “engagement”, why not call this type of of content “enragement”?

Ye, generally I would only use njalla for discardable services and domains.

Ye, going for extreme privacy like this has these kind of downsides.

Wait, if they suspended your domain, can you even transfer it away? if not, that’s really fucking scary.

I don’t have good interaction with them either, but nothing as bad. I used one of their VPS to hold the reverse proxy for my lemmy instance like a year ago. Randomly it went down and the support was non-existent. Eventually it came back on its own after some days but I had already moved everything away from them

How any times do they have to learn the same lesson?

Stop trying to make “streets ahead” happen!

Your install USB is infected by a rookit and reinstalls itself on connect.

People do and have left communities in the past. /r/Marijuana to /r/trees comes immediately to mind and there have been many many others. But leaving for an entirely different service has a way higher executive cost. Once people are in the fediverse however, the cost to switching primary communities is not that high, and we’ve seen that away when people moved from !risa@startrek.website to !tenforward@lemmy.world due to mod actions.

Again, the point is that nobody can ever stop you from running a community as you see fit, unlike reddit, which easily ban you and your community for any or no reason. And if your community is run well and the other has indeed power-trippin mods, the people will come to yours, as has happened multiple times before. So no, it’s not the same shithole, unless you make one.
