Thanks for sharing. The default launcher on my phone is terrible and I hate having to move to different layouts every time I switch phones (which only happens every 5+ years, but is still annoying) so I have been using Nova for many years.

Just turned off its internet access on both data and wifi, let's see if it complains about it.

As a note: I can see that it only transfered a few hundred kilobytes in the past month, which isn't a lot, but it's still more than zero.

Likely NT here, but meditation is awesome. Sometimes when I am particularly stressed or overwhelmed it's kinda hard to get in the right state of mind, it's as if I forget how easy it is to meditate, but when it does click it makes everything that much more simple.

Highly recommended to anyone going through rough times or even people who are fine but would like to have their brain shut up for a little while.

OP's account is on SJW and that instance does not require email verification. Plenty of instances don't.

Da quel che so per poter giocare a un titolo su Yuzu o Ryujinx devi possedere una switch moddata e una copia del gioco (sì, è possibile anche trovare copie pirata online, ma gli sviluppatori fanno il possibile per scoraggiare la pratica). Quindi no, l'argomentazione che possa essere illegale mi sembra stupida e credo sia solo un caso di Nintendo che fa cose da Nintendo.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't follow EU politics at the time of the last election, but didn't she campaign on green-deal policies for her first term? I remember reading about this somewhere. So moving away from that and closer to ECR would be quite the shift.

 

The European Commission president hinted Wednesday she would be open, after the European election in June, to working with some politicians in the European Conservatives and Reformists grouping

“The cut-off line is ‘do you stand for democracy?’, ‘do you defend our values?’, ‘are you very firm in the rule of law?’, ‘are you supporting Ukraine’ and ‘are you fighting against Putin’s attempt to weaken and divide Europe?’And these answers have to be very clear”

With the projected increase in seats from ECR and ID, this shouldn't be surprising to anyone, however EPP getting closer to ECR isn't exactly the best of looks.
To me, this sends a clear message that, as Renew falls off due to Macron's impopularity, the EPP is trying to gain more right wing seats by disregarding integration further down the line and possibly adopting more populistic policies.

LMAO. As much as restrictions of this kind suck, at least DNS makes more sense than IP without any transparency.

It really does sound like whoever came up with the IP solution had no idea of what the hell they were talking about.

I mean, you shouldn't stay on here if you don't like it, that goes without saying, but I think all in all the benefits outweight the few very annoying issues that this platform has. For instance, I think that the smaller number of people tend to mean that if you leave a comment somewhere you are likely to find someone to chat with and discuss whatever it is that you brought up in your comment.

Often times on Reddit there are so many comments that you either blow up getting over 20 replies or get forgotten and ignored. No inbetweens.

Do they? I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here. Plus, the people you are gonna meet even by changing instance are going to be more or less the same. The number of instances you are barred from by staying on .world is pretty small.

You know, in a way I am glad that we managed to implement such a piss poor implementation of a PiRaCy ShIeLd. They are going to have to roll back or disable this piece of crap in a matter of days and that will hopefully be the end of these silly internet restrictions for good.

Had the implementation not sucked ass this bad, we would have needed to wait for some EU infringiment procedure or ECJ order to shut it down. Instead, this way it's gonna end way more quickly.

Ahahaha splendida analogia.

Non metto in dubbio i vantaggi di Friendica. Anzi, volendomi avvicinare al mondo del microblogging (dal quale ahimé sono tagliato fuori, usando Lemmy) stavo giusto pensando di aprirmi un'istanza con Friendica, piuttosto che Mastodon. Però personalmente trovo l'UI davvero DAVVERO brutta, è ciò che finora mi ha allontanato dal provarlo.

Se si riuscisse ad avere un backend come l'attuale Friendica e un'UI bella moderna come Soapbox o Misskey sarebbe davvero il meglio dei due mondi.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Nah it should not. It would hurt decentralization and small instances. We already have a tool for curbing spam, it's called the Fediseer. You may or may not have heard about it, but most admins have.

 

A few months ago I released the Defederation Investigator, a tool to verify the federation status of Lemmy instances. With this new update, I've expanded it to support multiple Fediverse softwares, including:

  • Mastodon
  • Misskey
  • Mbin
  • Pleroma & Akkoma
  • Friendica

This works both ways: you can verify which Mastodon (et al) instances have defederated your Lemmy instance, as well as check the federation status of an instance running any of the supported softwares.

Like most of my works, this tool is FOSS and available on my team's GitHub.

Limitations

Many microblogging platforms, Mastodon included, offer admins the possibility of hiding their blocklists from the public. As it turns out many instances have chosen this approach, so the available information can be pretty limited at times.

Also, this update has increased the pool of instances from a couple hundred to over 2 thousand, so query times have increased significantly. You can reduce them by deselecting some softwares from the query page (hint: most fedi instances are Mastodon ones, so by deselcting them you'll cut out over half of the pool).

What about Kbin?

To my knowledge, Kbin doesn't share its federation status through an API like most softwares do. Furthermore, given recent events, I have little faith in the Kbin project. Instead, I chose to support its community driven fork: Mbin.

What about Peertube and Pixelfed?

I tried looking through their API docs and wasn't able to find any endpoints sharing either federation or defederation statuses. If anyone is familiar with any of these softwares and has any ideas on what to do to retrieve such information feel free to contact me, I'd love to add support for both.

What about ...?

Want more softwares? Feel free to propose them. I'd like for this tool to support as many projects as possible.

 

You've read it right, flairs are finally here.
No longer will you have to endure cringe and based opinions alike, in a vast and boring sea of flairlessness. No longer will you have to actually read someone's take, to be able to judge them. I bring you... THE FUNNI COLOURS.

@[email protected] and I have been hard at work on this feature for the last couple months and we're so glad to finally see it live. There is, however, an asterisk.

For the time being, only users from our instance (lemmy.basedcount.com) can see and set user flairs, as this feature doesn't propagate through federation. As such, users from other instances (less than half of the [email protected] userbase) won't notice any changes.
My next project will be bringing support for user flairs to other instances through a browser extension, but that'll probably take me some time.

Of course, if you want the full PCM experience™️ you can always open an account here (wink wink).

In the meantime, enjoy your funni colours, pcm. Stay based and flair the fuck up.

I have built an AutoMod bot for my instance, lemmy.basedcount.com. The bot covers the following features:

  • Automated removal
    • of posts, based on their title, content or link
    • of comments, based on their content
    • configurable with either regular expressions or substrings
  • User whitelisting and exceptions for moderators to selectively lift some or all of the aforementioned rules for certain users.
  • Mention based pinning and locking of a post, through commands exclusively available to the mod team
  • Discord notifications for new registration applications through a webhook. [only for admins]

Naturally, the bot is completely open source. I have also written a rather comprehensive (albeit long-winded) documentation and some examples.

This project is mainly targeted towards admins of small instances, however anyone can spin up their own AutoMod instance for their favourite community (provided they are a moderator there).
The automoderator is also available as a Docker image, for ease of installation.

Feel free to suggest any additional features that you might want to see added to this bot.

Context

As you probably now, Hexbear is a fairly large leftist instance, whose users are notorious for being very loud in the communities of every instance they federate with. For a long time they blocked all instances, preferring to remain isolated. Recently, however, they have started allowing some large instances into their allow list.

Yesterday they expanded said list by including the popular sh.itjust.works (SJW) instance.

Some Hexbear users immediately jumped on the train by creating posts in [email protected] making sure everyone was aware of their presence and calling out what they thought was bigotry on SJW's side:

  • Example 1
  • Example 2, the post included in the meme, now removed

Currently, there's people on both sides calling for mutual defederation, as one Hexbear sees the other party as "bigoted" and "politically illiterate infants" while many people on SJW are just tired of the political spam.

Where do we stand in this mess? Comfortably on the sidelines, enjoying the popcorn while it lasts.

 

Unlike a certain platform with an orange logo, we aren't keen on sheltering pedophiles. During your stay on Based Count, feel free to make as many wood chipper jokes as you deem necessary.

 

Test post

Idk. Not really sure what this community was about back on Reddit.

 

Test post

 

My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".

Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:

Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right
Lemmygrad Exploding Heads
Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world
Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works
Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
 

EDIT 3: All good now, the DNS has done its thing and defed.xyz is fully operational! Once again, thank you all for having checked out my tool, it means a lot to me.

Deploy problems, read more

EDIT 2: I've managed to fix it as well as add some optimization measures. Now it shouldn't ramp up bandwith nearly as fast. The DNS records are still propagating for https://defed.xyz so that might not work, in the meantime you can use the free Netlify domain of https://sunny-quokka-c7bc18.netlify.app

EDIT 1: You guys played too much with my site and ended up consuming this entire month's 100GB limit of free quota, so the site is currently blocked.

This is probably my most succesful project ever, thank you all for checking it out. It will take me some time to find another suitable host and move the project there.

ORIGINAL POST: I couldn't find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.
