  • Oh yes, I need to rewatch this one!

  • MediaWiki is a much bigger project, with probably dozens of developers working on it full-time. It has a lot more features. Ibis on the other hand is only a small project which I'm developing on the side. If Wikipedia wanted to federate, the best option would be adding that logic directly into MediaWiki.

  • Oops youre right, I closed registrations a while ago as I wasnt working on Ibis and there were too many spam accounts. Opened it for now, later I need to add something like Lemmy's registration application.

  • Highly qualified people are probably not interested in working for the government. Or maybe this was outsourced to some cheap private company, who knows.

  • Yes that is what I mean, admins can only see private messages that their own local users are either sending or receiving. Not from users on other instances.

    I agree that privacy is important, but most admins probably couldnt care less what their users are writing in private messages. And there is a tradeoff between implementing end-to-end encryption, or implementing other features that may be more important.

  • Setting an instance is easy, but actually getting a significant amount of users is much more difficult. And as admin you can only see the private messages of your local users, no one else. So if you are not talking about illegal stuff the risk is negligible. And if you are, use a real messenger application or better yet avoid all computers.

  • Private messages are completely private, you as normal user can never see someone elses private message. The only ones who can theoretically read private messages from other users are instance admins. Exactly the same on Reddit or Twitter by the way. But if any admin actually does that, people would quickly spread the word and leave that instance.

    End-to-end encryption does add some extra security in that admins also cannot read other users private messages. I dont think that people really send very sensitive information through Lemmy private messages, it is better to use an actual messenger application for that.

  • Looks neat! In fact I never heard much about Quake having singleplayer.

  • What do you mean by instance url redirection?

    We discussed about merged comments for same post url, but there was no clear support for it. Many people dont care or warn that it could have unwanted side effects.

  • Mods are developed by fans in their free time, like the original Counter-Strike. To play it you had to own the original game and could get the mod for free. In contrast games like Half-Life are developed by a company with full-time employees, and sold for money.

    Of course Counter-Strike hasn't been a mod for a long time now. Valve took it over and turned it into a full game.

  • Oh yes bought it on release because of all the hype. Then stopped playing after two hours because it was so boring and generic.

  • The main problem with Witcher 3 is that it's way too long. Was a real slog to reach the ending. Didn't even bother with the addons. Cyberpunk was great in my opinion.

  • join-lemmy.org now shows you a suggested instance where you can signup immediately. No need to choose an instance.

  • Found it now, crosspost detection actually happens in the frontend. It only works if posts have the same url and are shown on the same page.

    Opened an issue, but it will likely take a while to fix.

  • So the problem only occurs after you use "Hide Post"? That might be part of the problem, I suppose that deduplication only considers posts that are visible to you. Though I cant find the corressponding code right now to confirm it. Best if you open an issue in the lemmy repo.

  • I see, that is understandable.

  • Yes I don't doubt that you were having this problem, another post was also complaining about it a few days ago. It's just that I cant think of any reason why this would happen if the image urls are identical.
