I hope that piefed will publish the blocked phrases in the api at some point, like lemmy publishes the slur regex in /site. (This isn't trying to be "look lemmy is better," I mean this)
So in the context of blocking, if someone blocks you on piefed - you simply can’t reply to them anymore
And maybe it wouldn't be a problem if we weren't for federation. The result is a desync, where either all but the instance with the blocker can see the comment, or only the blocked users instance can see the comment.
I would get banned from not only the entire instance but from communities that I’ve never so much as heard of
That's not how it works. You get banned from the instance and all communities you have commented or posted in. And it wouldn't be any different if it were to happen on .world or .zip.
(I know OpenStars and piefed.social users cannot see this, however I wanted everyone else to at least understand how bans work)
You are lying about your previous lies, and then stating unrelated facts to confuse people.
I am not.
“you run the tor binary” doesn’t mean “the app runs the tor binary” it means you, the user on the system
I never meant that the app has to, the user can too.
Lemmy doesn’t need Tor built-in to use Tor
No, but then the individual lemmy instances would have to bodge tor support, as I have been trying to say. And since they very likely don't, tor based federation wouldn't work with those instances.
their explanation in this comment does match that reality
Tor works for apps that don’t integrate it (or its “binary”)
You run the tor binary and connect to it over socks5 and make connections to places (onion or not) through that socks5. If the app doesn't support socks5 you need to bodge it and redirect connections from the app into socks5 through some other means.
(At least that is the old way, with arti things are changing, but it's still in development, and when we are talking about onion services the old tor binary is still necessary)
Ok, thanks for telling me.
Also I have said nothing about Rimu. And I know he isn't the only contributor.
