EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)
The cool part is, if your instance admin starts doing stuff you don't like, you can super easily just go to a different one, or even go about hosting your own that you control and decide who to federate with
Well, once they fix the whole "each instance copies the media from other instances automatically" thing. I'd love to self-host a vanity instance if I didn't have to either worry about CSAM or just nuke the entire pict-rs facility via script.
...actually I wonder if that's an option on kbin. Even if the Mastodon interoperability is a bit wonky right now I like the platform working with both services on ActivityPub (thus why I'm here).
Fix?.... Look at the Lemmy code base.
This is a feature not a bug.
Making it mandatory and something you can't opt out of is not acceptable. "Work as a knockoff as a CDN" shouldn't be a requirement of running a vanity instance. That's a barrier to entry without much benefit.
Just run an allow-list?..
From what I understand, that's difficult to do, and even if done it prevents the inline loading of images from those other instances at all.
Hopefully it'll be academic before long anyway. The CSAM attack lit a fire under the devs and changing this is now one of their highest priorities.
Yup. As a side effect: admins that are too eager to pull the trigger might get their own users pissed, and they'll eventually leave. So a successful admin needs to make sure that the defed is the best for his userbase.
