Can anyone explain the “professional developers” percentages to me?
What’s the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.
What is it that you’re doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support… What’s left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?
How do you know?
Who?
That’s correct. It’s also horrible for the comments section because people hate-downvote comments they disagree with, which in turn leads to people avoiding making possibly unpopular comments. It’s really hurtful to meaningful discussion.
What first party sources do you have to support your claims?
One of the main devs github, check out their essays repo. They have control over the next server and client binaries (mobile app).
What happens if they decide it’s time for the revolution?
As a tech savy person, I can confidently say lemmy is not a viable reddit alternative at this stage for an arbitrary reddit user. The UI and clients are just terrible and full of small bugs, annoyances and inconsistencies. Sure, it will eventually get there, but negative opinions about lemmy are not completely unmerrited. Just as I’m typing this, I get screen tears and flickering elements. It’s just very, very bleeding edge and I can absolutely see how someone trying it for 5 minutes would be turned off. If you want to capture the masses, the user experience has to impeccable.

They did the same thing with jabber / XMPP back in the day. There was a time where I could use my jabber accout to talk to ppl on FB. They (and also Google) turned that off and unfederated. They’ll do the same thing here.
IIUC pingora is not standalone, but a set of rust crates? Should be already supported by nixpkgs through rust builders.
