To combar spam I’d imagine. Is there no possibility to reach and use a temporary email service or smt?

Some of these numbers are weird? LinkedInlunaticsn got +2k subs this week?

Or mastodon. But estabilished news media sites never mention non-VC backed solutions if they can help it.

I don’t see how it’s a privacy risk since you’re not exposing your IP or anything. Likewise the images are already uploaded to your servers, so there’s no extra privacy risk for the uploader.

yep

Yeah, things requiring choosing a instance like, say, email, are doomed to fail

Tech journalists never learn anything from history. No Vc-funded social media is good

For now. They’re still in their growth phase. If they ever become dominant and they need to make money, they’ll turn into a walled garden like every other. Everyone seems to forget that Twitter, Reddit and Facebook were also all about openness at the start

Lemmy and Mastodon as well for me. With a little bit of discord and matrix for my projects’ realtime chat

The downvotes are probably irrespective of the instance, but indeed, I don’t think this particular instance is the most fertile ground for theism, even though technically religion is not incompatible with anarchism.

You can actually run it in async model without pictrs safety and just have it scan your newly uploaded images directly from storage. It just doesn’t prevent upload this way, just deletes them.

You don’t get public traffic redirected. It’s not how it works

It stops doing checks. Iirc you can configure it yes

Btw, have you played something like Hades? You’re not technically a wizard, but close enough. And there’s other hades-like games which might be more “wizard-like”.

Oh man, that’s really sad :(

I already talked to the mod to make sure they understand they instance they operate in. They explained they understand the expectations. If there’s anything anti-science or otherwise reactionary, we’ll deal with it then.

Not all web traffic, just the images to check. With any decent bandwidth, it shouldn’t be an issue for most. It also setup in such a way as to not cause a downtime if the checker goes down.

The software is setup in such a way that you can run it on your pc if you have a local gpu. It only needs like 2 gb vram

Ian M. Banks would probably love to live in The Culture (and so would I for the record)
