What exactly do you think the EU is? 😱

The main Nginx was still up, but the server it redirects to for the Lemmy backend was down. It eventually recovered itself, but it took longer than usual.

We are having stability issues with the server right now due to what looks like a new memory leak in Lemmy.

I am traveling this weekend, but I hope to find time to properly investigate it later this week.

I am talking about xmpp servers 🤷

A lot, but please educate yourself, this topic has been extensively discussed here and in other places.

You are very naive if you think that is all the US government can do in regards to Signal, but suit yourself 🤷

The IRC (Biboumi) and Discord bridges (slidge.im) for XMPP work still fine and running your own server is super lightweight.

Significant improvements to certificate pinning and validation have been added to all major XMPP clients as a result of this incident, but it should also be clear that hosting a server on infrastructure under control by an antagonist government (see also Signal) is a very bad idea and hard to mitigate against.

Mein erster Gedanke: Die Schweiz hat die Nase voll von Alice Wedel as Politikerin? 😅

Im Grunde wiederholen wir grade was in Österreich zur rechts aussen Regierung von ÖDP + FPÖ unter Kanzler Kurz geführt hat. Ich bin mir sicher Jens Span hat sich den ÖDP internen Putsch von Sebastian Kurz schon sehr genau angeschaut…

Yes, but at AirBnB you have cleaning charge scams and hidden cameras in the bedroom. Pick your posion I guess 🤷

This is obviously a statistical artifact due to the decriminilization. If you don’t have to fear persecution, you are much more likely to go to a doctor if you have addiction problems.

Might be a Flatpak issue if you installed Steam that way.

With silicon based cells this seems unlikely, but with Perovskite based cells it exists already.

Not yet. We are waiting for an upstream change that would allow us to import existing bcrypt hashed passwords from the Lemmy database.

In my experience Piefed is quite fast, maybe there was some temporary issue with the piefed.world instance?

We (slrpnk.net) are only planning to move to Piefed due to technical annoyances with Lemmy the software. As I wrote above, the level of toxicity we see on our instance is really not so bad.

I think it is worth differentiating between dubvee and lemm.ee on this topic. Dubvee seems to have been shut down mostly for personal reasons, and IMHO if the timing would have not overlapped with the lemm.ee shut down people would just consider it part of the normal churn of smaller instances coming and going.

On the other hand, lemm.ee was a bit of a special case. From the very beginning they invited a lot of “defederation is bad” type of people to their instance and were also one of the few larger instances that decided to keep federating with hexbear despite having first hand experience with their toxicity. So to a large extend they set themselves up to alot of drama 🤷 In addition their technical setup was probably a bit overengineered, adding to the admin workload.

As an instance admin myself, I can’t say that things are overly stressful if you defederate the right instances and quickly ban alts of known troublemakers.

However, I agree that the feddit.org witchhunt was very toxic, and as a moderator of /c/europe@feddit.org I was also directly targeted. But it was clearly a very small number of people that instigated most of it. Discounting alts and throwaways it was probably a single digit number of people doing 95% of the harm.

https://piefed.world/ already exists and people can import their subscriptions from Lemmy. Not sure what more you expect them to do? Shut down their Lemmy instance?
