The community can only read the source code, as of yet. All of the source code has been provided by a set of internal developers.

The fact that it is open source means that, if somehow two malware elements have made it into the source code, then someone will eventually report it. But this doesn’t mean that two malware elements cannot be there right now.

These two malware hits on total virus scan should be communicated to the developers.

Locally, an attacker still needs to know your password. A strong password can make it too expensive or impractical to brute force.

Filen.io

Works well so far, is end to end encrypted, open source, and the apps are nice and solid.

Works great for me. I’m running mx23 after running mx19 for a few years.

I hope mx23 is better with updates, or making easier to update, as updates broke in mx19 not long after I first installed it. My only complaint. Otherwise great.

Checking out !main@soccer.forum I saw very few posts by bots. Mainly saw posts by you. I saw one post coming from alien.top .

What’s interesting is that only posts by bots have any comments. So maybe this could be a good way to get communities started.

Therefore, if it’s okay with the admins at the following community, I’d nominate !tennis@lemmy.world

There’s almost nothing happening there.

Yes

Did you check with the admins on lemmy first or are you bot posting without permission?

Let’s say I have a favorite sport and there exists a sub_ named: r/.

Let’s also say there already exits a Lemmy community and that community is struggling to get off the ground: !@lemmy.world

I can see a value add if your project directly helps !@lemmy.world get started; but I don’t see how it does. If anything wouldn’t your project compete with !@lemmy.world and therefore hinder it?

It might be different if your project directly tied r/ to !@lemmy.world but it doesn’t.

If downvotes are the issue, beehaw.org doesn’t allow downvotes. Those folks are automatically eliminated from that. You can then just ignore the comments you don’t like and it’s all good. 👍

The links in this post don’t load, https://feddit.nl/post/3654890

Testing feedback: There appears to be a missing feature. When a post includes a gallery of images, no thumbs or images are shown as a preview. Only an empty gray box is displayed.

N.B. This flying squid article is behind a pay wall.

“What hump?”

This piped link did not lead me to a video.

Thanks for the replies. So I guess USENET had/has an advantage here, as all USENET servers replicate “all” newsgroups automatically. To the extent that one server exists, the newsgroup lives on regardless of its origination point. In that sense, the collective work of all contributors is not lost until the retention date passes.

The ActivityPub proposal mentioned by @chris seems to be a good enough equivalent, at least for communities that are shared.
