I use them to keep on top of worldnews and other stuff that's happening without giving reddit any traffic.
But it's okay to block them if you don't want to see it. Fortunately bots don't have feelings :P

Pict-rs needs to be offline but the rest can be on right? Can I ask how you stopped the service from within the container? It doesn't have sysctl, does it? Thank you <3
I'm sooo glad this community is alive and well.
You need to separate what the instance owner sees vs what other federated instances see about you.
The instance owner will have access to everything, including your IP and view history. That is true for every website.
Other instance owners could potentially see what content you fetch from them. Not always, because usually it's them sending the info over to your server, but there are "signed fetch requests" that the ActivityPub protocol supports and become relevant when you try to load content your instance hasn't seen before.
Your upvotes and downvotes are currently also visible across instances.
The best way to use the fediverse is with a pseudonymous account with a username that isn't tied to your identity.

Oh wait, this is a recent commit. Probably coming in the next version.
It's like BitTorrent. There's seeders and then there's leechers who just want their free stuff and stop sharing immediately afterwards.
Some have more principle than others.
That does look interesting but that wasn't exactly it. Thank you for the suggestion, though!
Proxmox has been great for me.
Eventually it should be possible to do so. Mastodon allows migrating accounts and a Lemmy community is ultimately an "actor" under the ActivityPub protocol, just like any other Mastodon account.
Admin over at Yiffit here.
We have a temporary ban on content that is perfectly legal but which could be really weird to remote admins and moderators for at least 2 months in hopes that better moderation tools will appear so that remote instances can hide certain content without having to defederate from us completely.

Woah, awesome. Indeed.
