I’m really fascinated at how complex this was. How anyone even works this stuff out is beyond me.

I still have one sat in a drawer so I really hope they can make this into a consumer friendly hack.

Bug fix for this was recently introduced, seems to specifically be reddit images.

Should be fixed going forwards :)

Please ping me directly if you do see anything like this in future!

Ive been waiting on last man sitting for absolutely ages but it appears to have changed quite a bit from the original idea. Gonna download it and see if its been worth the wait!

Had a nosey further into this, I was assuming its backed by epic or something like that although nothing obvious jumps out.

There’s a list of FAQs on the website too, most of which are demonstrably false, which makes me very curious as to why this random person feels they speak for me, which they don’t, and what backing they have here. All very strange.

I thought scientifically water actually wasn’t wet, rather that it makes other things wet by adhering to them.

Gonna have to look up some peer reviewed studies now.

Like mastodon in SSH (and yes, no blocking the line!)

Incredibly niche! :)

Probably why i like it so much.

Not seen one more detailed than this, although worth checking against fedidb.com - also, missing my new favourite from the list, stegodon (stegodon.social, stegodon.zip)

Come with us Charlie!

The other half lied.

Another +1 for endeavour, two years solid, no problems at all.

Straight on the wishlist

Ah good, what everyone said would happen is exactly what is happening.

Sure its not the data verification company directly, but proves that the whole process is so sufficiently complex that your ID could end up with multiple different providers and then be stolen. Not great.

It’s very annoying.

FYI these are all on ASN 49453

The other (lazier) option is to block/challenge the ASN

I enjoyed the fuck out of the beta/demo thing, can’t wait for the release

Always knew I was a chatbot

For half a heartbeat i was hoping this would be a follow up to Bridge Crew.

This does look interesting though, straight on the wishlist

My response wasn’t regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn’t true)

But just so you’re aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.

The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can’t access the UI.

If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn’t working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Sorry but your posts are FUD. You’re trying to equate people misusing tlds (which happens across many other tlds) as somehow lemmy.zip is “bad” instance that should be avoided.

Not only is that not true, you are also purposely misunderstanding how federation works as if youre somehow safer not interacting with lemmy.zip. Again, not remotely true.

If you want to block .zip TLDs you go for it, no one is stopping you, but you may as well block .com TLDs while you’re at it as that’s where most scams take place.
