Here are the screenshots showing the wrong post issue I described in paragraph 2. Forgive me, I am not a smartphone Picasso.
Edit: OK, the main post screenshot shows the thread I clicked about Jerboa. This screenshot shows the improperly loaded post, with all the correct comments talking about Jerboa and other apps.
Can someone possibly cross-post this to lemmy.world in their support community or something? I've also been having issues replying to things all day.
To clarify, I thought I'd been mis-clicking when a page with sport stats would load. Then today I noticed all the comments were of the right post I wanted to see, just the post itself was wrong.
You misspelled Thiccgirl
That's happened with almost every VPN provider that has claimed to be no-log and then got a government subpoena. At that point you have 2 options: A.) Shut down, or B.) Code a technical way to capture the requested information for that user.
Sometimes they do choose to shut down and sometimes there isn't a technically feasible way to get the information.
Hmm, haven't heard of that distribution before.
Reposting this in comment from a reply elsewhere in the thread.
If anything there should be SOME centralization that allows other (known, somehow verified) instances to vote to disallow spammy instances from federating. In some way that couldn't be abused. This may lead to a fork down the road (think BTC vs BCH) due to community disagreements but I don't really see any other way this doesn't become an absolute spamfest. As it stands now one server admin could spamfest their own server with their own spam, and once it starts federating EVERYONE gets flooded. This also easily creates a DoS of the system.
Asking instance admins to require CAPTCHA or whatever to defeat spam doesn't work when the instance admins are the ones creating spam servers to spam the federation.
No.
Fingerprinting is against the goals of Lemmy and privacy. Lemmy should be for the good of people.

qBittorrent is what I've been using since uTorrent went to shit. Well there was a brief period where I used Transmission but it's so feature-limited.
I used to pirate games and software. Then came the ransomware, and the crypto stealers.
So I'm afraid of pirating certain things, but not because of the IP issues.
Fuck off /r/spez
