I don’t disagree, and the plugin system is cool as it’ll enable people to build things like that. I think SJW even has something like that already. But I can’t begin to tell you how much work a simple text filter would have saved me as an admin.

Thanks! I have also floated the idea of a regex blocklist, but Nutomic shot that down because ‘it can be done with a plugin’. Can’t wait until 1.0 so Lemmy can have feature parity with a 2006 forum.

URLS, no, but it can disallow specific domains.

It does work on URLs. The https part gets stipped out because of how the regex is built internally, but you can absolutely block a Github repo. I have a Discord invite link in the feddit.uk one.

Until relatively recently, it would only prevent users of that instance from posting to them, but somewhat recently it now prevents inbound federation of anything linking to those. If something links to a blocked URL (post, comment, user with that in their bio, etc),

It always worked on federated content? It was added in response to a Mastodon spam wave (source: I added it).

Presumably they must think this is a good thing, given they run a cloud gaming platform.

Sure, but I’m just pointing out that these are different features that happen to be named the same thing. I’d also point out that something that doesn’t federate can’t really be called part of the fediverse, which is what OP was asking about.

The Wikipedia article for D links to this blog post which seems pretty damning.

Piefed’s private communities are local only, ie no federation. The Lemmy 1.0 ones do federate.

Oh, what’s the tea on multiverse I’ve missed?

Lemmy 1.0 will have ‘private communities’, which are communities whose posts can only be viewed by approved subscribers. I wouldn’t trust this though, you can’t guarantee other instances running other software will keep the posts private, so I’d only trust this if you host the instance and allow list vetted instances, which just opens you up to the problems mentioned in the other thread.

Your best bet is an e2ee messaging app with group support. People will recommend Matrix, but the moderation tools kind of suck and it can be very resource demanding to host (from what I’ve heard, I don’t host Matrix). Signal is what most privacy people will recommend but I don’t know how accessible it is in Iran given it’s centralised nature. The XMPP people will inevitably speak up and they’re probably even right, but I’ve never used XMPP so can’t speak on it.

They’ve banned everyone who downvoted this post, which includes you. I’m not familiar with the 60 minutes/CBS situation, but if the Daily Mail thinks it’s a good thing then it must be bad. PTB.

Emacs has the rx macro: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Rx-Notation.html

It doesn’t, this is an edit. It actually says “Good choice.”

Did you mean to post this comment 4 times?

The fact it’s secured with a piece of sellotape is just *chef’s kiss*.

Ah, now I see it. Thanks!

What does this even mean?

This is honestly just funny.

Moderation by sortition is also an interesting idea, even though this isn’t quite that.

Yeah, I agree with the point about dairy being bad, and it’s one that’s easy to make without objectifying women.

“other females”

Yeah, but we get a time off if he kicks the bucket.
