They sent out an email with Nazi symbols: see https://lemmyverse.link/feddit.uk/post/50278677

The problem with this defence is that they did notice it because they removed it from the German version of the email, they said as such.

gog make it pretty hard to like them, like putting AI slop on storefront and the recent email controversy they didn’t really apologise for.

Fallout 4 maybe? The main gameplay loop is gathering junk to get parts to improve your equipment.

I’m quite fond of the Teixcalaan (don’t ask me how to pronounce that) duology by Arkady Martine.

I wonder why the man who makes money off engine royalties might have a problem with something that can dramatically affect sales after stuffing that engine with the crap people hate.

I don’t disagree, and the plugin system is cool as it’ll enable people to build things like that. I think SJW even has something like that already. But I can’t begin to tell you how much work a simple text filter would have saved me as an admin.

Thanks! I have also floated the idea of a regex blocklist, but Nutomic shot that down because ‘it can be done with a plugin’. Can’t wait until 1.0 so Lemmy can have feature parity with a 2006 forum.

URLS, no, but it can disallow specific domains.

It does work on URLs. The https part gets stipped out because of how the regex is built internally, but you can absolutely block a Github repo. I have a Discord invite link in the feddit.uk one.

Until relatively recently, it would only prevent users of that instance from posting to them, but somewhat recently it now prevents inbound federation of anything linking to those. If something links to a blocked URL (post, comment, user with that in their bio, etc),

It always worked on federated content? It was added in response to a Mastodon spam wave (source: I added it).

Presumably they must think this is a good thing, given they run a cloud gaming platform.

Sure, but I’m just pointing out that these are different features that happen to be named the same thing. I’d also point out that something that doesn’t federate can’t really be called part of the fediverse, which is what OP was asking about.

Piefed’s private communities are local only, ie no federation. The Lemmy 1.0 ones do federate.

Lemmy 1.0 will have ‘private communities’, which are communities whose posts can only be viewed by approved subscribers. I wouldn’t trust this though, you can’t guarantee other instances running other software will keep the posts private, so I’d only trust this if you host the instance and allow list vetted instances, which just opens you up to the problems mentioned in the other thread.

Your best bet is an e2ee messaging app with group support. People will recommend Matrix, but the moderation tools kind of suck and it can be very resource demanding to host (from what I’ve heard, I don’t host Matrix). Signal is what most privacy people will recommend but I don’t know how accessible it is in Iran given it’s centralised nature. The XMPP people will inevitably speak up and they’re probably even right, but I’ve never used XMPP so can’t speak on it.
