It should now work again! Apologies!

I’m still around, but busy. I’ll try to enable push notifications.

Thank you for letting me know. I’ll have a look into it as soon as possible!

It can be made easily via their API, but depends on what features you’re looking for. What is it that you miss from the web version?

Yes, but It’s pretty hands off since 99% of security stuff is managed for you by the Lemmy software, including rate limiting. Just make sure you use a secure password and if you want put the instance behind cloudflare which is super easy to do.

Don’t buy Apple. As simple as that. You know when a company gives you the creeps? That’s how I feel about Apple.

She’ll have to get a computer and use it in her free time instead of a phone. It’s the best way

Yes. If your country is authoritarian use cryptocurrency such as Monero. Even Bitcoin can be much better.

The bank would know the amount, the merchant and other details even if it’s a merchant from abroad. The bank might have a duty to report certain transactions or could be forced to give out a record. Other international payment process or foreign banks will generally not refuse a request if it comes from a country government you are a citizen of.

You can use crypto to buy gift cards to shop at regular retailers. This is your safest bet if you’re concerned about a state surveillance of your transactions.

I would say “a lot”. Granted I don’t have too many irl friends, but I think it does matter to me that I can be myself among trusted friends and I feel it helps if they’re furries as well.

One step towards avoiding misuse is to stop considering porn to be misuse.

Update: I’ll create a poll in a few days with the options that have been mentioned in this post.

Yes, please! They’ve been waiting for a name since June!

Yeeff? Yinna ?

Apologies, but what is NCMEC? I’ll have a look to see what we can implement.

Thank you for the offer. It’s super appreciated. Right now I don’t think it’s necessary, but who knows what the future of the internet holds. If you have any idea or suggestion yourself, don’t hesitate in letting me know!

Hello! Apologies for not seeing this earlier.

In case anyone’s wondering my position on this matter, it’s this:

• There is 0.00% chance that yiffit.net or packmates.org will implement any sort of ID verification system. I’d rather host the site in any other different jurisdiction than to jeopardize the privacy of our users or contribute to a version of the internet that’s riddled with surveillance nightmares.

In the worst case scenario the site would even change owners (if my physical jurisdiction played a role in the matter) or I’d find any other way. This is not something I’m worried about since we have no shareholders, no need to be profitable in any way, and don’t report to anyone but to ourselves.

Furthermore, if the internet continues going down such a path and there is a legal way to help people circumvent draconian restrictions by offering services such as a VPN, I would definitely look into hosting such a service. If there’s anything I’m afraid of, it’s the amount of time and effort I know I’m capable of recklessly sinking into privacy-oriented projects just to spite anti-queer, authoritarian and surveillance-state political initiatives :P

So, rest assured that Yiffit and Packmates will not make such ID a verification ever a requirement and I’d even encourage you to find ways to avoid any sites that make such requirements.

PS. We’re now hosted in Germany by the way!

Here it says that this should not be possible in Australia due to the immobilizers.

Maybe some thieves believe all KIAs and Hyundays are targets and eventually some are stolen due to other factors.

It’s worth mentioning that this impacts only US vehicles from those brands.

Welcome to the server! I’m super happy to welcome new members and excited about your plans for [email protected]

Hmmm… anyone knows the resources a matrix instance uses? Depending on how much is I could host one as long as someone helps with sysadmin management.

I messaged Dessalines and proposed a feature to have them block our communities while we could keep getting their content and participating in their communities.
