It used to be called chapo.chat until a poll came up to change the name. IMO keeping it named chapo.chat would be better for name recognition, since Hexbear began in 2020 as a lifeboat from r/ChapoTrapHouse when reddit banned it for supporting John Brown’s violence against slave owners

“Hey, it’s totally cool that Microsoft GitHub blocked access to one of the repositories in the very center of the xz backdoor saga,” Michal Woźniak, a white hat hacker who was part of a team that discovered DRM in a Polish train earlier this year wrote on Mastodon. “It’s not like a bunch of people are scrambling to try to make sense of all the right now, or that specific commits got linked to directly from media and blogposts and the like. Cool, cool.”

Security teams that break stuff to mitigate risk and call it fixed is exactly what Linus’s Do No Harm plea is about.

Edit: It’s still disabled

Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub Staff due to a violation of GitHub’s terms of service.

Besides having their community migrate to Lemmy, the thing moderators can do that impacts reddit the most is making their sub NSFW, because

1. Reddit gets no ad revenue from NSFW subs, and
2. NSFW subs will be excluded from their new $60m/year AI training deal.

If you get them to install ClearUrls in their browser (Firefox, not Firefox), they can copy/paste URLs directly from their URL bar and the URL will be clean with no extra effort.

I keep it enabled in all my browser profiles pretty much always

Instance-wide blocking will be a new feature in Lemmy 0.19.

So we’re scrapping the 26th amendment, huh?

Our current supreme court considers constitutional amendments to be unconstitutional, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they rule in favor of scrapping it

They’re not risking legal troubles unless they receive and don’t comply with a DMCA takedown request. Like I said elsewhere, this is about making their site friendly to advertisers.

Concern trolling about the legality of discussing piracy is just a distraction. Their goal is to serve ads on their site, and removing all references to piracy is a step towards that.

Yeah but calling it agitprop sounds cooler
