The one that banned you from !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone was Ada. So I am assuming the instance wide ban was also performed by Ada. You should contact Ada through her Matrix: @ada:chat.blahaj.zone, your PMs via Lemmy will not go through.

Tutanota is from Germany, though?

You. Not worth writing about.

:(

Try posteo. They at least allow third party clients and they have some cool features.

I don’t want my money to go into a company that praises LLMs.

Yes. Can be done with scripts.

I stopped paying for Kagi a few years ago when they decided to introduce even more AI features than they had at the time. So I now run my own SearXNG instance. Fast, good and no AI in it. Just search results.

Lemmy and Piefed both support disabling federation for specific communities, if you mean not allowing people from other instances to interact with the community. Or do you mean just not allowing comments?

Why loops? Long videos aren’t what loops is for.

Why is the source code in privatebin?

Are you using postgresql 18? I tried upgrading yesterday from 17.6 and got an identical error message.

Welp, the fourth one can’t happen. Posts or comments by users won’t be stored in the database, so you can’t calculate “karma” for users.

The others are left to the community mods’ implementations.

Unfortunately there is also a need for automatic moderation.

Humans can’t catch everything.

By the way, mind telling me what was the most infuriating thing about Reddit’s automod to you?

All of them are possible with my current design plan, which is allowing mods to write the functionality themselves (instead of predefining them like in some other automods) in sandboxed Lua (might change).

I might still predefine some myself for performance.

Of course. Reddit’s automod is very simple.

My current design plan is leaving the implementation to community mods by embedding sandboxed Lua (might change).

For automated ones, sure. But if you just want to schedule some post you made, that functionality is already available in Piefed and will be available in Lemmy in the next 1.0.0 release as well.

There is something called OpenWebAuth that is currently in use by Hubzilla.

There’s even a FEP for it: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/61cf/fep-61cf.md

You don’t need to calculate the average number of active users. If you do, it will be wasted resources and you probably will miss a few dozen.

Simply request the instance’s NodeInfo.

NodeInfo 2.1 (which Lemmy does implement) and I think 2.0 as well require implementors to provide correct user usage statistics. So you have total users and average active users per month/half year calculated on request.

This also means you can provide this service for other platforms that support NodeInfo.

Making a GET request to /.well-known/nodeinfo will give you the links to the instance’s NodeInfo documents.

In fact, you can recursively begin from some random known instance, get a list of other instances it is federated with, get their NodeInfo and repeat the process. NodeInfo also provides the name of the software (check schema).

You can use that.

Welp, I guess it needs some more development time.
