Fedi meta about defederation 

Every time I see a user on another instance say "but mods/admins shouldn't defederate, users should have to block hate themselves"

I think to myself "Okay, start your own server so I can block it".

My job, a huge part of my job, is making sure my users are safe from abuse and harassment and awful content. That often means dropping entire servers for lax/no moderation and, yes, a "free speech" stance.

Defederate early, defederate often.

@doot the difference between instance admins and landlords is that instance admins actually have to work pretty hard

.torrent files: downloading stuff so you can download stuff

puzzle, regex (screenreader-unfriendly) 

So, here's a regular expression (JS flavour):

^(?=( +|\t+))\1(?:\t| )

This regex matches (at the start of a line) both "1+ spaces followed by a tab" and "1+ tabs followed by a space", but it does *not* match a sequence of just spaces or just tabs.

How does it work?

(Make sure to CW your answers please!)

local only post:

we re-evaluated our suspension of weirder.earth, and decided to revert it.

mastodon can be kinda buggy with that though, so if you want to follow an account that's still not available, ping an admin 👁️

I think redux-state-sync will be a decent solution. Also really makes me think about action idempotency, because React StrictMode already renders components twice in development, and with 2 open tabs that means both of them process the same action 4 times 😬

oh fuck just realized all the cursed edgecases I will have to deal with when people have multiple FediFox'es running in the same browser session

i guess locking yourself out of the testing vm is one way to stop work :')

(it's really no problem, and now I can work on FediFox!)
