I can’t speak for the weekly refresh since I have a Apple dev account (which changes the refresh to 365 days) but altStore and altServer on Ventura works just fine on my iOS 17 phone

There’s a balance between convenience and security and IMO storing both on 1Password is fine. An attacker getting into your 1PW account would require them having

  • your username

  • and your password (which should be unique to only 1PW)

  • and your secret key

  • or physical device access with your 1PW password or biometric auth credentials

in which case an attacker really wants your stuff, has your device, and you have bigger issues.

I feel like this is similar to saying “is your front door lock strong enough?” when a thief is at your door and really wants to get inside, regardless of level of effort required.

This would probably relegate the fediverse to a zombie-product-status niche if this sort of policy extremism takes on. But maybe some users would prefer that. Please read the rebuttal on this view at https://daringfireball.net/2023/06/more_on_preemptively_blocking

At this point I may have a better experience on the betas and will probably install on my iPhone. Ios 16 is pretty buggy (I have audio randomly crash or widgets disappear with only reboots fixing then)

Also the public beta is probably around the corner now

I would too but when it happens it’ll probably only apply to EU users

There’s a learning curve but it’s hard to beat AltStore with https://qnblackcat.github.io/AltStore/ apps. Same experience as the official apps, but with ads removed. It also should defeat all tbt Adblock detection YouTube is trialing now.

As Ben Thompson said, forums are like the tadpole shrimp of the internet. They change over time, but look pretty physically similar to their ancestors. Reddit was the form they took the last 10 years or so. Lemmy and the lemmy app ecosystem has changed so much in just the last two weeks in a rush to hit some level of parity with Reddit because we don’t want the UX to change too much from old Reddit.
