Bitwarden all day every day. I don’t even know any of my passwords because they’re all randomly generated. Try to guess my password now hacker man

This was me when my dad would use limewire, break the family PC, and blame me because I was playing “those video games”.

It’s like take a penny leave a penny for shitposts.

Thank you so much for all the amazing work you all do.

It’s what struck me when I switched to Android… the play store is awful. Good on Apple, hopefully Google will follow suit.

Meta doesn’t need threads.net to harvest data from ActivityPub instances. In fact, literally anyone can do it without much effort. You’re not protecting your data by being here. It’s as public as old phpbb forums used to be even more so. That bit is a non issue (well, it is an issue…)

My issue is just with the quality of content from meta owned instances and what it’ll bring to other federated instances.

Edit: Aw lil guy found a home

I would like to humbly suggest

I used to, and it was a fairly easy process. I eventually just decided to use Bitwarden’s own servers because I didn’t trust myself to not lose all my passwords while self hosting

Idk it just works and I have the whole ecosystem to support it so why not. I flip flop between Android and iPhone whenever. My previous phone was a Pixel 6 Pro. It really doesn’t matter to me, it’s just about how goofy I feel on the day I decide to buy a phone.

It’s not the official app. There are no official app.

They can - but everyone else can choose to defederate from them. It gives others choice of whether or not they want their instance to participate (or let another instance) participate in their activities.

They all work with each other and they are both public platforms so they’re as private as any other activitypub-based software. Content amount doesn’t matter when it’s all federated

Accounts reside on the instance they belong to. Same way you can’t use your gmail account to access your outlook account.

sh.itjust.works doesn’t have custom emojis and so is fairly safe from this specific exploit. Only local users of instances with custom emojis were at risk if they had visited a malicious page on their home instance.

Lemmy-ui pushed a fix for this vulnerability just 8 minutes ago, so we’ll see if that makes it here.

I’m going to threaten my local coffee shop with this wish me luck

I don’t know about everyone else but my timeline (?) on Threads is all men posting their ass on main. Not sure how strong the guidelines are being enforced at this point, but I’m not complaining.

Someone explained it really, really well on Reddit some years ago:

Hexbear.net started out as chapo.chat - a replacement for the defunct r/ChapoTrapHouse community after it was banned from Reddit. It launched one year ago today, based on a modified version of the Lemmy source code. At the time, Lemmy itself was only around a year old, and in an alpha state. Since r/ChapoTrapHouse had accumulated a long list of enemies in its time, a dozen or so members of the community did about a month-long sprint hardening Lemmy and adding features that reflected the needs of the community.

The developers of Lemmy maintained a pretty low-profile community, while the Chapo refugees were the exact opposite of low-profile, so the communities had divergent priorities. It wouldn't be fair to demand the Lemmy developers drop everything they were doing to satisfy the Chapo refugee's needs, but the needs of the Chapo community still had to be met for the project to be successful.

The process was very chaotic, and as a result, the fork of Lemmy used for Hexbear.net will likely never be capable of federating with the wider network of Lemmy instances. A handful of changes were contributed upstream, but many of them likely will never be accepted. None the less, it still abides by the AGPL license and the code is publicly available on git.chapo.chat.

The relationship between Hexbear.net and Lemmy is basically that the Chapo refugees decided Lemmy was the most viable platform to work with, and the Lemmy developers were completely blindsided. The Chapo git repository recorded about 2000 changes within the span of a month and not all of the changes were ideal or appropriate to adopt upstream. Within a week or two of launching, chapo.chat had more users than the flagship Lemmy instance. This was also before federation was officially supported upstream, even though that was always the goal of the project. Had the timing worked out differently, Hexbear might have been federated before adding additional features for their instance, but that's not how things turned out.

So imagine Lemmy is outlook.com and Mastodon in gmail.com. When you want to send an email to someone on outlook.com, you send them on gmail.com to their outlook address.

Lemmy and Mastodon work similarly. From Mastodon, you can follow Lemmy communities and interact with posts and comments directly from within Mastodon. Your login information on Mastodon is separate from Lemmy, they’re different accounts on different instances.

What you’ll want to do is log into Mastodon on Mastodon and follow Lemmy communities. You’ll be able from there to interact with Lemmy like you’re interacting with Toots. Granted it only works if the instance you’re following federates with mastodon.

Just wondering - is there a reason it needs to compete with other apps in popularity or?

So I did some… “research”… and this might be the source image
