Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁

[Lemmy] Lemmy Release v0.19.11: security fix, mods can see votes (join-lemmy.org)

This release fixes a security vulnerability which allows an attacker to delete images uploaded by other users. You can read the details in the security advisory. Thanks to @Nothing4You for discovering and fixing it.

A new donation dialog is shown to users once per year, to help fund Lemmy development.

There are also various backports from the development branch. Importantly the “Private instance” setting can now be used with federation enabled. This way only logged-in users can browse posts and comments, which stops AI crawlers from overloading the server. Also moderators can now view votes in the post/comment options.

God I remember the debates about this back around the API exodus when Kbin still existed. Even though anyone can technically access vote information by spinning up their own instance that barrier is sufficient for most users. I don't think making voter info completely publicly visible is a good reaction to the fact that it's "technically public anyway". I don't think being able to see exactly who voted what on your posts and comments leads to anything good, neither for the environment as a whole nor for you as an individual.

EDIT: This is for regular users, I obviously don't have a problem with mods and admins having access to this data as it's probably a necessary moderation tool.
