Yup. Nope.
Pictrs is just completely disabled now. Rather be safe, then sorry.
TeamSpeak ftw
Can confirm, lol
People will gravitate to those instances run by talented devs.
Eh, people gravitate to where everyone else is. Half of the fediverse doesn't realize federation means, you can read/post to most communities from most instances, bar federation issues. They see, OH HEY, Lemmy World has the most posts. I want to go where all of the posts are.
People RUN from instances, whenever the instance starts breaking, and the admins show their ineptitude. Either that, or when instances start clicking the defederation button too much.
He said it’s all legal
I mean, if I were trying to recruit people into an illegal pyramid scheme, that is what I would say too.
clap
Another mega-instance is formed, with lots of people grouped together, to make a big target.
Perhaps one day, everyone will discover what "Federated" means.
less posts doesn't really matter. lol. Everything is federated.
Partly due to the fact..... lemmy itself, basically has no moderation or administration features at all....
So, the only way to assist with that issue, is stricter enforcement up-front.
Besides, if someone doesn't wanna take the time to have a verified email, and literally type 49 when registering an application.... I really don't wanna take the time to worry about having to potentially worry about them being spammers/etc.
I never noticed outages stopping
I am in the same boat. If it were not for these posts, I'd have never noticed lemmy world was down.
If I post to, or put a comment on something from lemmy world, it will just federate over when it's back online.
If someone posts to something on lemmy world, it will eventually federate over my way.
But, hey, everyone is gonna fuss when they decided to put all of their eggs in one basket and now, that one basket gets targeted. (metaphor for lemmy world.)
This is the solution I use as well.
Although, rclone is also a viable solution.
safest encrypted cloud service these days
None. Use your own encryption keys, and pre-encrypt your data.
If the cloud provider I use for storing my backups got pwned, the attacker would gain access to.... well, nothing, without my private keys. And- if you follow the 3.2.1. rule, you would lose nothing, because you have at least two other copies.
Yup.
So far, mostly everything appears to work still. But, trying to upload an image, just throws an error.
I don't see a way to actually "gracefully" disable it, but, this works.
Edit- don't just stop pictrs.
Lemmy gets very pissy... and b reaks.
