Lemmy maintainer
With crypto you can make international transfers within a few minutes and only pay a few cents. Using a bank account it takes multiple days, and costs a few euros at least. For me that’s a major use case and something I do regularly.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We are currently making some last improvements to the RFC, and it should get merged within the next days.
Well someone has to write the code.
There is no need for any “green light”, if there was a problem with the rfc we would have said so from the beginning. From what I can tell the rfc is not completed yet, and when it’s completed someone still needs to step up to implement it. Even my own rfc which was finished months ago is still not merged and not implemented.
Alright Ive added @kevincox@lemmy.ml, @CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml and @Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml as mods and removed the inactive ones.
I just opened an issue about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744
This, particularly reports are not fully federated.
Well written, it would deserve a separate post.
One of the comments mentions that another app can trigger search through an Android intent. So its better to be safe and close any potential vulnerabilities, but this doesnt seem particularly useful for an attacker.
I dont have time to read all that. The problem with Beehaw is that the admins are extremely entitled, as if we had some obligation to work for them for free. Similar to what is described in OP.
However we are consistently improving the mod tools, and accept contributions in that area. You can see in the dev updates.
What is this “stance on mod features” that you are talking about?
Im a former contributor to F-Droid with various merged pull requests. Looking at the indicated pull request I really doubt that it was an intentional attack. First of all its easy to forget for a new developer to escape SQL parameters, and the docs dont even mention a risk of SQL injection attacks. And of the users pushing for the PR to be merged, one is a long-time F-Droid contributor, and the other also looks like a real human with many contributions in other repos, so no sockpuppets in sight.
It simply looks like standard open source behaviour, for better or for worse. A new user makes a contribution for a highly demanded feature, and users want it to get merged as soon as possible. Maintainers are discussing the big picture of the change and want to avoid breaking changes, without getting into code review yet. The new contributor seems unwilling to make any design changes to his PR, and gets frustrated that it doesnt get merged as is. The potential vulnerability is only noticed half a year after the PR was opened, at which point it was already de facto abandoned. So not an attack, but simply a developer who is new to open source and doesnt understand how the process works.
We applied for funding last August, but unfortunately we are still waiting for it to be finalized. Seems like NLnet is quite overloaded these days.
Hold on the scammer could spend 8000 usd without even knowing the card’s PIN number?

It’s already largely resolved through the feature to export/import user profile.
No schade-throwing, but I know how much effort it took to get Lemmy ready for production. Namely multiple years of fulltime work. Sublinks seems to have only volunteer contributors, so it will likely take even more time.
Or these people could learn Rust and contribute to the existing project. That would save years of duplicated effort. I personally knew zero Rust before starting to contribute to Lemmy, its really not that hard to learn.
I would be happy to give an interview, but so far no media seems particularly interested in Lemmy.
