And additionally, to the community at large - admins, moderators, people who post/comment - we all have played a major part in expanding Lemmy and the Fediverse in general!

So what type of challenge do you get when it doesn’t think you’re human then?

Unfortunately, if they were to do this I’d imagine they’d be able to know you blocked them - as your instance would need to tell the other instance (and if they were a single user instance they could grab that record from the database) to hide your comments/posts. Which could cause even more problems as there are definitely people who’d go scorched earth over it. Even if they didn’t go on a rampage about it, they’d still be able to just then logout and see what you’re saying because of that.

From what I recall in the ActivityPub spec, transmitting blocks is already there, but I imagine no one implements it for that reason.

They might be talking from a mobile perspective (or alternative UI) since a lot of them have that ability. Though, the next Lemmy update will have that feature natively thankfully!

That just means that moving forward, now you will! 😅

They do! There are donation options listed at the bottom of the Join Lemmy website.

I imagine at some point it could be added to the Have I Been Pwned tool, which you can use to check for the presence of your credentials being in a data breach.

That seems like a pretty cool idea - though I do think there would also need to be a push for mobile apps to support a similar concept. While I personally don’t, I am sure there are plenty of people who only browse the Fediverse on mobile.

Also on a side note, those are some pretty good additions to Hexbear’s code of conduct.

The comment was made 2 years ago - but as to whether it’s attempting to masquerade the real reasoning behind it, I can’t really say since I’m not the devs. I just thought it was worth copying over the comment contents since you mentioned you couldn’t see it, I figured there might be others who couldn’t as well!

Here’s a quote from dessalines on said post that explains it:

Its just a free domain, like .tk or .gq. I’m just pretty staunch about not paying for a domain name, they add no value whatsoever, and buying them feels like acquiescing to the digital enclosure of the commons.
