ah.

Also: the anarcho/communism one annoys me, because I thought I was original when I thought of that joke.

A lot of servers require signatures on GET requests as well, for private posts and to block specific people/servers.

Yeah, that was the inspiration.

I also read every tagline from /api/v3/site because I’m too impatient to just reload the page.

The main bottleneck is I/O anyway.

I do not, ActivityPub uses HTTP signatures to make sure messages and requests from other servers are legit,

Essentially, it adds a “signature” header which contains a link to a users public key, a list of headers in the message and a signed hash of all the headers and the request.

There’s a better explaination here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/security/

A delicated bot to scrape ActivityPub posts is possible, but generic bots shouldn’t work. If a delicated bot is made, people can block its keys or server anyway.

I doubt they’re crawling stuff over AP, you usually need a HTTP signature for that, and no bot is going to bother with those.

Most crawling would just be spamming the web interface.

Posts that propagated to other communities will stay on servers.

Images will break though.

Actually, most of those articles are posted by newsweek’s official reddit account.

End of june, lemm.ee is shutting down.

don’t worry though, most communities are available on other instances.

Just make a new account on lemmy.zip, export your settings/subscriptions from lemm.ee and import them on .zip.

I have probably done it loads of times by mistake.

lemmy.zip is the most similar, it has a great admin and a similar federation policy.

Lemmy.cafe was just the second instance to come into my head.

Its where I moved to :)

Go to https://lemm.ee/settings in a web browser (I’m not sure its in jerboa), and export your settings.
Make an account at lemmy.zip or lemmy.cafe, go to settings there, and import the settings file.

then, log out of jerboa, and log in with your new account.

Upon closer look, you guys didn’t block them: hexbear.net/instances

Anyway, I don’t think people were really pushed away from LBZ, it was just the 196 thing and a few people gettin banned for pissing themselves about neopronouns.

In any case, the 196 community wanted to stay, the alternate comm is more popular (by MAU) than the original.

Assuming you’re talking about moss (the admin, not the plant), she mentioned that they didn’t try to leave because of anything due to neopronouns (and she mentioned this is the post).
It was because of Ada moderating communities as well, and being (in her opinion), overbearing.

FWIW, the migration was botched, and everyone’s at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone now.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t hexbear also block LBZ? If so, why’s that?

I think they’re talking about lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Different admins; some instances federate with some, some block others.

The main problem would be that all the images disappear with it.

Of course, I could use an external host.

Admin burnout.
