I will add that many of us who work remotely using publicly accessible wifi also use VPNs, and Imgur actively blocks IPs from multiple commercial VPN providers. If you want those users to see the image you're sharing, Imgur is not the way to go.

Pixelfed works well with other Fediverse services like Kbin and Lemmy. Try hosting there!

Jack Smith looks to hit Trump with up to 45 new charges and indict attorneys: report (www.rawstory.com)

Donald Trump could soon be facing additional indictments from the Department of Justice, The Independent reports. The DOJ has made preparations for a “superseding indictment,” which are additional charges that may include allegations of more serious crimes against a defendant, according to the report.

I scorned the Independent when they reported a few weeks ago that Trump would be indicted "tomorrow." None of the usual journalists in the know confirmed, and plenty of reasonably reliable experts cast doubt on it. And then the next day came, and lo and behold, the indictment was issued.

All this to say, I don't take the report as gospel, but I take it seriously.

Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances (kbin.social)

I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...

Yeah, I posted that to !fediverse from my lemmy.ca account. I figured that if the admins aren't answering questions via Matrix or whatever, maybe someone there would have an answer. (So far, nothing more than the same kind of speculation that's happening here.)

Tusky is best for those who are newer to Mastodon. Visually it's very clean, straightforward to use, and largely free of bugs (it helps to have been around for so many years).

For users more familiar with Mastodon, I'd go with Fedilab. Despite a few bugs, it's the most customizable option, with so many features you can tweak to your own tastes.

Weird story. I had no idea he had carved out his own little crypto world before really seeming to break down.

Apropos of nothing, never forget that it's often better to just block TERFs and transphobes than to engage with them.

So in this case, that does mean that someone with a Lemmy account who is subscribed (from that account) to Kbin magazines will be able to see the latter within the app, right? One wouldn't be able to login to Kbin, but could view Kbin content from their Lemmy account?

Let's not turn on other users when Reddit is the actual problem. Show them that there's something better being built over here.

Hush, I need my monthly US-packages-and-cheap-gas fix, and Peace Arch / Pacific Highway lines are NOT my jam

In the short term, people will come by to lollygag. In the long term, there's only so much John Oliver anyone wants to see in a day, so traffic to those subs will likely fall.
