All, yes. And I have blocked most of the communities that call themselves “News” or similar, but almost only post US politics as news. Yet it still trickles down into other communities.

I tried not opening Lemmy the last few weeks because of the flood of American politics. I’m sure many people felt the same.

Yep, a VPN is a good solution.

Keep in mind that to protect your privacy you should also share your instance with others. All the searches are still linked to an IP which can be abused as well.

Mastadon and Lemmy use the same protocol.

You can even see accounts and posts from Mastodon on Lemmy, and the other way around too.

But yes, email is great.

Goggle bad :^)

Yes

There have been more people removed than just the ones with .ru.

The commit also reads this:

Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements. They can come
back in the future if sufficient documentation is provided.

These people allegedly work for companies that work for the Russian war machine. They will regain privileges if they don’t work for them. So if they find a moral job, they’ll be treated morally.

Mine?

I think the Russians that would want to backdoor stuff would just use a name like John.

Maybe you need 2FA on your GitHub account before you can do that. GitHub has made it a requirement for almost all the “dev” stuff.

Emails are personal data and are not allowed to be shown without specifically opting in for it. In Europe at least. Same for IP. This is also why when you “Recover Password” it will say something like “if this email address is found we’ll send you a mail”. So nobody can just check if an email exists on the service.

It means the maintainers have frozen their thongs.

Can’t win 'em all.

How could I have missed that, lol. Thanks.

Anyways, I don’t think it’s too weird. It might even be to simply have their name up there. We’ll have to see.

This Lemmy thread is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.

Do you have a source for that? I’m trying to look for donors but don’t really find anything.

We would like to do Windows eventually, but it’s not a priority at the moment.

intentionally ignoring

I think you just read what you wanted to read don’t you think?

Consider Edge you edgy man.
