@cm0002 I don't really know about all of the lemmy drama! But even besides that, just in general reposting is good to have more coverage and feedback so it's a win win for everyone!
Basically you have to use a tool to delete your messages and then send a GDPR request to discord before deleting your account, otherwise your messages will stay and will appear as sent from "Deleted user" with no way to delete them.
@This2ShallPass@themachinestops As an extension developper on Mozilla's store, yes it's definitely possible. There's some automatic review process but what you state in your implicit data consent disclosure (that's how they call it) is up to the developer.
However, the extension can't access all websites unless you specifically allow it while installing. There's an "All websites" permission, so if it's that or if it includes some kind of sketchy site then it's a bad sign.
Finally, just like any web page, you can always inspect an extension and check the network requests to see if it's doing malicious stuff. If so, then you can report it.
But since mozilla accounts are free and only require a verified email, they could just create another one. It's an endless game of whack-a-mole!
@MonkderVierte The thing is, since the code is running inside a browser extension there's no way to interact with third party tools that aren't part of the standard JavaScript api.
@prex Wait that's a thing?Well, this host basically the same value as a "Sent from my iPad" signature haha, how can you encrypt a post that's publicly available to everyone?
@MrFloppy I agree! I sometimes received notifications on Mastodon from comments by Lemmy accounts on this post but far from with all comments (10%) and sometimes my replies on Mastodon didn't carry over to Lemmy (I don't even know if this one will!) so there's still work to be done to get things working just right!
@Skiluros Heading URL is the 1st line of your mastodon post.You can join an image to your mastodon comment and it will show on lemmy (a new post will just show the link to the post)For URL and thumbnail I don't think you can.
@Gonzako Shameless plug, I made an extension to try and bypass this on some sites! Free and open source too.
