I’ve considered Airsonic but I haven’t found a good client that looks good and doesn’t behave weirdly. I had one launch about 500 threads trying to transcode the same song which ate up my CPU time on my server resulting in a stern e-mailing from my host.

If we could ensure 100% compliance with a meta-blockade then I’d be for it.

However, that isn’t going to happen and any instances that do federate with Meta will be the part of the Fediverse that exists to billions of people. Those instances will become the dominate instances on the Fediverse for people who want to get away from Meta but still access the Fediverse services. Lemmy, as it stands now, is only a few million people at most. We simply do not have the weight to throw around on this issue.

It is inevitable that commercial interests join the Fediverse and the conversation should be around how we deal with that inevitability rather than attempting to use de-federation as a tool to ‘fix’ every issue.

It supports YouTube playlists also, so you can just give it a massive playlist and let it go

By the, apparently, infinite transitive property of Naziism, the Fediverse was instantly turned into a Nazi Bar due to this post.

Thanks a lot @HTTP_404_NotFound

Using ! then the community name creates a proper universal link, but the script is broken and you have to manually edit it: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/36299

Ideally the instance software should allow a user to set a ‘automatically resolve community egress links locally’ option. Until then it’ll annoy regular users who’re not going to bother with greasemonkey userscripts.

Oh, the exciting world of being an early adopter!

It’s been ages since I did IT. If I had a user who wanted to run Linux then I knew that, on average, they were going to cause me a lot less headaches with random user issues so I wouldn’t mind being flexible. Endpoint security will be different, but a lot of network security is handled through network devices that don’t care what the client is.

Noticing a lot of suspicious activity coming from there…

Don’t de-federate unless they’re allowing the planning of violence, CSAM material, or actual abuse.

As a leftist I see it like this:

Blocking someone is: “I don’t want to see this”

De-federating is: “I don’t want you to see this”

Blocking someone is: Ignoring a person saying bigoted things.

De-federating is: Jailing a person saying bigoted things.

If you can’t handle people saying shit you don’t like then you need thicker skin. If you can’t engage in a conversation with a person who shares an opinion that you fine distasteful then you need to seek maturity.

If you can’t disagree with someone without physically attacking them, then you don’t deserve to be part of a community. If you can’t exist without abusing another person, then you don’t deserve to be part of a community.

Serious question: What is the alternative to open registration? Invite-only? What is the expectation?

Seems a bit kneejerk to defederate, that’s employing the nuclear option as the first step. It doesn’t leave a lot of room for dialog.
