All, yes. And I have blocked most of the communities that call themselves “News” or similar, but almost only post US politics as news. Yet it still trickles down into other communities.

I tried not opening Lemmy the last few weeks because of the flood of American politics. I’m sure many people felt the same.

Yep, a VPN is a good solution.

Keep in mind that to protect your privacy you should also share your instance with others. All the searches are still linked to an IP which can be abused as well.

Mostly because Linux doesn’t get in my way and I don’t need to think about it.

Mastadon and Lemmy use the same protocol.

You can even see accounts and posts from Mastodon on Lemmy, and the other way around too.

But yes, email is great.

There have been more people removed than just the ones with .ru.

The commit also reads this:

Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements. They can come
back in the future if sufficient documentation is provided.

These people allegedly work for companies that work for the Russian war machine. They will regain privileges if they don’t work for them. So if they find a moral job, they’ll be treated morally.

Mine?

I think the Russians that would want to backdoor stuff would just use a name like John.

And when you speak up about how useless all of this is your comment might get removed :O

Removed by mod

That is amazing.

I wanted to comment the same thing.

They have been “closing in” on this release since forever.

Maybe you need 2FA on your GitHub account before you can do that. GitHub has made it a requirement for almost all the “dev” stuff.

Fossify is great. I replaced some stupid anti-privacy GApps with them.

Mind sharing your reasoning?

Emails are personal data and are not allowed to be shown without specifically opting in for it. In Europe at least. Same for IP. This is also why when you “Recover Password” it will say something like “if this email address is found we’ll send you a mail”. So nobody can just check if an email exists on the service.
