PLEROMA ADMINS READ THIS, AKKOMA TOO

Another important pleroma security post: @alex and @graf found ANOTHER injection bug, and this one was probably used for the attack. I think that single user instances are probably not affected, but I wouldn't want to risk it. Move your media and proxy to a subdomain as alex initially recommended, it's not complicated and takes 15 minutes, and eliminates this whole class of bugs.

Fix is being worked on, but just do the media/proxy thing now so you'll never have to worry about this again.

Some floating homes on a Canadian lake are causing a stir because they take advantage of legal loopholes. We're creating a legal path for seasteading with our Classification Rules Development project to prevent this kind of confusion.

As of yesterday, we are holding at 13 of the top 100+ colleges still requiring COVID vaccines. This is not about science.

At least I don't have to deal with this guy's lunacy ever again (unless he switches instances again). Seriously, this guy makes Terry Davis look sane and rational in comparison. It's unbelievable.

Sorry friends, but RFK & Ramaswamy can't stop this ship from sinking either...

That's the thing about debt slavery. You can't vote your way out of it.

The key difference though (aside from very dissimilar platforms) is that Discord lacks any algorithmic prioritization of posts (which wouldn't even make any sense on instant messaging to begin with). Whereas I would demarcate the time when Twitter/Facebook opened the Pandora's Box of algorithmic prioritization (instead of chronological order) as the turning point of when the internet started to turn to crap, online discussion and politics became more vitriolic, etc.
A decade ago you could have people terminally online on forums and IRC and not see as severe of mental illness that you normally see on Twitter today.

Check out these videos of an ultra-remote floating village in British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada, where houses are towed from bay to bay throughout the year: buff.ly/3MAC6IU via @travelmail

Eventually, all rational individuals must accept that there is no political solution..

@PurpCat @xianc78 @gabriel @GrungeQueef people call me crazy but discord is a LOT more healthy than twitter as far as social media goes. Humans were not meant to operate by shouting 24/7 in a public square.

Just please... I don't want to fee it anymore. Both ostatus and ap are bad protocols for privacy. They don't ensure it, they just hope that the other server cooperates. Please, don't share REALLY private stuff on fedi, use matrix or xmpp or pgp, with proper encryption. This isn't a Pleroma problem or a mastodon problem, it's a problem in the protocol and that won't change in the near future.

One year ago, a woman stopped a mass shooting, saving dozens of lives & was completely ignored by MSM & politicians.

Poast, and much of the greater fediverse will not follow a single one of these policy requirements, and the presidential administration can blow our cocks.

@xianc78 @hachi I believe I once mentioned how subtitles on politician speeches/public service addresses would be more useful to both the hearing impaired and regular people than that gay-ass sign language performance art.
