disabling image uploads and image serving

I’m assuming this means death for image-based communities here on infosec (the hardware community comes to mind).

Will this impact images originating from (served by) other instances?

The SEO-angle is interesting, thank you for the insight!

Trying to catch up on documentation, I’ve been implementing a couple of services during the past few weeks and need to write it all down before I forget.

I do this for every service I implement as part of my backup strategy, it tends to be easier to recover from a disaster when you have reproducible steps to follow.

See edit :)

I respect and understand your decision, I’ve personally had to block a few communities from that instance due to their problematic content.

For the sake of transparency (which I feel have been the spirit of this instance so far), could you give us some examples that led up to this decision?

It might be a question of moderation.

What do you do as an instance owner if you get notified that one of your communities are acting abusive to other instances/communities? You could take a look at the activity yourself and take action accordingly, this process becomes harder if the community is in a language you do not speak.

Or perhaps this is a non-issue and it’s sufficient with a dutch-speaking community moderator.

Perhaps one of our community moderators (or our instance owner) here at infosec.pub could share their thoughts on language and moderation?

Glad I could help!

I think everyone that selfhost their RSS-feeds have at one point or another thought “now what?”.

I have 3 recommendations that might help get you started:

• feedspot is a great place to start to just discover what’s out there.

• GitHub releases can be followed as RSS (atom) feeds. This is a great way to keep up with changelogs for services that you selfhost. For example, here is the RSS/Atom feed for Jellyfin: link

• Do you listen to podcasts? These can usually be found as RSS-feeds and is a great way to get your daily dose of news on your morning commute.

I read your response, thank you for taking the time to clear it up!
