    Monitor people? What are you talking about?

    Github 2fa uses TOTP and doesn’t require an app or phone number. They don’t get to “monitor people”.

    This is a sensible security move and I support it fully. I guess I’m a government bot. Supply chain attacks are a real problem, this will help block them.




  • I personally hate all the reddit cross post stuff, and it seems like the majority of lemmy users do too. I don’t understand why people obsess over this as a way to “grow” lemmy.

    It doesn’t contribute to active conversations, in fact it deters users who reply locally and then never get a response.

    Just let lemmy grow organically by making good content and contributing, stop forcing it with mirrors from reddit.

    I wonder if we could get the top admins to threaten defederation with any instance that doesn’t flag automated posts as bots. This way at least the users have some visibility.

    Radio waves travel at close to the speed of light. Latency generally just comes from raw distance, unless the packets are being processed by a slow / overloaded device on route.

    If the wifi has to retry a lot due to noise or low signal you’ll see loss and latency spikes, but otherwise its very little.
