If you are serving it to the public, a good VPS would be better.

Chances are that your internet is not as reliable as something like Hetzner’s.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they integrated it into the software itself. I’m good with LibreOffice.

Where is the page for the full protocol specifications? The link in the overview docs leads to google.com

Actually I’ve been thinking about this more and I’ve changed my mind. If someone really wants to figure out who voted, they probably still can. It just makes it a bit harder, not impossible.

Say user X makes a post in a dead community and gets a comment from user Y. Then user X upvotes that comment. Now the comment has only two votes. One is from Y themselves and the other is almost certainly from X. The chances would be even higher if X replies to that comment too.

Or imagine a situation where user X and user Z are arguing and start downvoting each other. Depending on how new the comments are and how active the post is, it’s still possible to connect the downvotes to their real accounts

Which is why I now think the only real way to make voting private is to generate a completely new voting account for every single vote. That would make it impossible to trace the votes back to the user across posts/comments.

If the accounts aren’t randomized, which I think weren’t, then yes, this is possible to do. If the voting timestamps are also recorded, then it is as easy as checking the oldest vote in a comment/post. To make it harder for someone to associate your voting account with your actual account, you would either need to:

• collect votes and send in randomized order (I think a minimum of 3 votes is good)
• create a new voting account on each vote
• disable voting your own comment/post

I think the best would be creating a new voting account on each vote, but that would kill moderation.

Oh ok. How’s the new frontend going btw? The one being made with Leptos

Register users in a transaction by @Nothing4You in #5608

I’m surprised this wasn’t done already.

Anyways, thanks for your hard work. Is there any estimated date for when version 1.0.0 will be released?

Correct. Removed piefed. Thanks.

I’d vote for number 5

Mbin, Piefed and NodeBB

Mbin can also be used for microblogging.

2 of my cousins and my sister did.

Unfortunate how less people think of privacy these days.

Which distro

This can be done client side. This as a backend change would be useless and would waste ressources.

I’ll try over the weekend.

Thanks but this guide is a bit too oversimplified, which is guaranteed to leave the user with question marks after a few minutes of using it.

And I also dislike the hardcoding of recommended instances (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml).

The most similar and FOSS one is Revolt (revolt.chat).

The next Lemmy release so I can finally continue with my Lemmy bot.

I find a reputation system good, however it should use percentages instead of points to make it different than what the karma system in Reddit was. People are less likely to farm for upvotes when it can only show 100% max.

Afaik piefed does not really show the reputation percentage to anyone (I might be wrong), but just shows a “low reputation” when it is under a certain percentage.
