  • If you are serving it to the public, a good VPS would be better.

    Chances are that your internet is not as reliable as something like Hetzner's.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if they integrated it into the software itself. I'm good with LibreOffice.

  • I'm surprised at how nice it actually looks on mobile. Excited to see more updates.

  • I've been happy with Catima.

  • FossWallet is only for Apple's Passbook files.

  • Where is the page for the full protocol specifications? The link in the overview docs leads to google.com

  • Actually I’ve been thinking about this more and I’ve changed my mind. If someone really wants to figure out who voted, they probably still can. It just makes it a bit harder, not impossible.

    Say user X makes a post in a dead community and gets a comment from user Y. Then user X upvotes that comment. Now the comment has only two votes. One is from Y themselves and the other is almost certainly from X. The chances would be even higher if X replies to that comment too.

    Or imagine a situation where user X and user Z are arguing and start downvoting each other. Depending on how new the comments are and how active the post is, it’s still possible to connect the downvotes to their real accounts

    Which is why I now think the only real way to make voting private is to generate a completely new voting account for every single vote. That would make it impossible to trace the votes back to the user across posts/comments.

  • If the accounts aren't randomized, which I think weren't, then yes, this is possible to do. If the voting timestamps are also recorded, then it is as easy as checking the oldest vote in a comment/post. To make it harder for someone to associate your voting account with your actual account, you would either need to:

    • collect votes and send in randomized order (I think a minimum of 3 votes is good)
    • create a new voting account on each vote
    • disable voting your own comment/post

    I think the best would be creating a new voting account on each vote, but that would kill moderation.

  • Oh ok. How's the new frontend going btw? The one being made with Leptos

  • Register users in a transaction by @Nothing4You in #5608

    I'm surprised this wasn't done already.

    Anyways, thanks for your hard work. Is there any estimated date for when version 1.0.0 will be released?

  • Correct. Removed piefed. Thanks.

  • I'd vote for number 5

  • Mbin, Piefed and NodeBB

    Mbin can also be used for microblogging.

  • 2 of my cousins and my sister did.

    Unfortunate how less people think of privacy these days.

  • let's see what art the fediverse produces this year
