Sorry but i have to rant.

There is a lot of misleading information in this post.
Not misleading, straight to the point, on things no one else wanted to point out.

Correct the CSAM wave was handled by admins on their own. As far as I remember there were no specific feature requests that would have helped in this regard, and anyway they would have taken too long to implement and publish.

Yes we were put just aside because the feature we recommended was “pictrs” stuff.

There is a fundamental lack of confidence amongst a majority of Lemmy instance admins towards the lead developers of Lemmy.

Thats true and so far many instances ( i dont want to say who, because they should come out if they want to be known ) i and the lemmy.world team have many reports from users, admins that they want a better replacement for lemmy. ( e.g. Sublinks ).

The moderation is TERRIBLE after 0.19, the sorting totally wrong unchangeable, every “resolve” leads to page refresh ( have fun finding your report you left on ). New reports are just never seen again, because you cant sort by new. The “All” view is terrible in reports and private messages. Marking Private Messages as “read” just refreshes the page and on the ui doesnt change anything, but after refresh it is marked as read.

On 0.19 there are some occasions of untested things, like “Remove an admin” is not correctly translated. Something THAT primitive.

We / Jgrim never opened a feature request because we already got enough by seeing in the history of feature requests of others.

The ui gets just worse and worse, untested features goes to prod and not getting even a “Warning Untested feature” flag.
We know you are just some guys in their free time. But then why not take your time, test it, make sure everything works, then release it.
Quality is the key for a thriving software, not pushing versions like its a tournament on how many versions can someone push to prod.
You are not a big corpo that can deploy fast fixes that fix any issues that could block instances, so quality is here even a higher priority.

You are not the first one to ask this. We dont know, my guess would be, because Selfhost is so popular it federated almost everywhere, and spammers probably saw that and attacked through that.

Yup, report, block. Contact admins if possible ( or warn others in the Defense HQ Matrix channel )

I installed it now, it is working fine with my pihole. It wasnt that much of a hussle but a bit of googling.

Does it really do that? I thought if pi-hole blocks it, it just says nothing here, normally a pc then looks up your secondary dns and then ads are back at it.

This was my experience when i did that.

Every instance is good because every instance can interact with many other instances with comments, posts etc. So you arent really locked into one instance. its the magic of federation.

Nice work!

Facebook has like many thousands or even hundreds of thousands really dead accounts ( of dead people ), some of those accounts are just Oculus accounts as they got forced to create a facebook account, but i think those are very low in the hundreds or with low probability in the thousands.

LinkedIn isnt really a social network for me, its rather you state your past work and current work only then to get invited to 6 sessions of coding reviews.

Twitch is a entertainment platform ( like youtube ), not social media.

Because probably you all never coded something really with python.

Because f*ck python lol. Its just bad

the switch case. F*ck python still

I used pycharm, vscode ( with some extensions ), text editor, notepad++, IDLE even Thonny on my raspberry PI. Still all of them was syntax highlighting or suggestion terrible. I never knew what the function of a third party or sometimes first party library wanted.

Stack trace is terrible bad. Js for the win.

the default library is still terribly documented. OF COURSE everything is stated there but after reading the bible 3 times through you still didnt understand anything third or first party libraries!.

In python you need weirdly random packages that are inbuild but you still have to import them WHY THO??? ( looking at you typings )

The funniest thing is that python does not have a switch case where i heard it the first time, i laughed and didnt took him serious but then after looking into it, A BASIC SWITCH CASE does not exist in python. LMAO

python if you want to f*ck every developer that comes after you and the other if want to make a small script yes. Still would choose bash tbh.

Bash is still better than python - Change my mind

But its less math than python. You dont have to role the dice if the error message is logical or not

AWS boto3, FastAPI and django. Good to know, that i shouldnt use them.

Yeah even that i would do, rather to do anything in python ;D

tbh i would rather use assembly than python.

You forgot your indentation and a third party docs is outdated. Now try and debug it with this error message:

Not enough value to unpack (expected 2, got 1) (not any stack trace btw) documentation was terrible. :D
