IMO poor security is more about a lack of eyes on the code. Projects that have a single developer and a lower user-base will be pretty easy money.

I can’t wait to find out which project has the most security holes 🔥

Any guesses?

Google has put a lot of effort into detecting and blocking stuff like this. They call it “click fraud”, if you want to look it up.

It’ll just mean they start ignoring clicks from you.

Haha, yeah, oops. Fixed now, thanks!

I don’t think we’re stuck with it - it’s something that is easily ripped out and it’s a pretty insignificant feature that I’m not attached to.

The additional +1 vote is only for accounts that have been around a while and have a positive reputation. This gives a slight boost to people who have a good track record but not to everyone. I hope that if people understand why it’s happening they won’t see it as a bug…

We use types where it matters. That was one of several things wrong with what OP said but I didn’t want to get into a big point by point rebuttal with them.

Someone’s paying attention.

Currently the /donate page on every instance links to my Patreon but with Stripe integration each instance would be able to hook up to their own Stripe account and accept donations. Those could be one-off or reoccurring donations.

There are no plans beyond that. I think it would be nice to award a badge or subtle visual highlight on accounts that have donated but I’m not keen on putting any features behind a paywall. When we do that it means the free tier needs to be enshittified enough that there is an incentive to upgrade yet still good enough that people want to join. Not cool.

Ok.

Posts are now limited to 50k, comments to 10k. Same as Lemmy.

Enjoy!

If it’s not your style then Ok, fair enough. For me, this is the most enjoyable codebase I’ve ever worked on in my 25 years of doing this.

There are trade-offs and they were made with a full understanding of the benefits and costs. I’ll be happy to discuss those trade-offs with anyone who hasn’t already made up their mind as OP has.

Excellent! https://translate.piefed.social/

We need to have a way for people to choose a different amount of time, a lot of people visit daily. Something like this https://s1.o7planning.com/web-rs/web-image/en/arf-1123668-vi.gif

Ah. I’ve fixed that now, thanks for letting me know.

It will take between 1,000 and 15,000 years for the ice to melt on Greenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet#Thresholds_for_total_ice_sheet_loss

The reputation points shown there are calculated by Mbin - PieFed instances do not share the karma score with other instances and does not show the karma score publicly in the UI to anyone except admins.

Thank you for all your feedback, very interesting. Lots to think about.

I will certainly look into the post length.

No, sorry.

I’m not sure if you mean migrate an entire instance to PieFed or just move your account?

In Lemmy you can export your settings, which includes a list of all the communities you’re following and then import that into your new PieFed account. But you can’t bring your posts & comments with you.

Migrating a whole Lemmy instance might be possible one day.

Most Britons probably don’t know about how the British navy patrolled the African coast for 50 years trying to stop slavery. Its a recent TIL for me, anyway.

PieFed accounts are free and take 2 mins to create. Check it out :)

Good point, yep.

On the other hand it would also help people find communities they are interested in but haven’t subscribed to yet.
