@panos@community.nodebb.org I'm also not able to fetch it directly

https://catodon.rocks/notes/akv4dziup8bz00hy sends HTTP 401 to my local dev instance. Might be because it's a localhost address.

It loads on from a properly hosted instance though :)

@panos@community.nodebb.org Was not able to resolve the post, but I don't think it's your fault, lemmy.world turned on CF bot protection and it's blocking me :(

Sure. I have found that the default botPolicy works fine for blocking the AI bots, but blocks federation.

At the reverse proxy level:

if ($request_method = POST) {
    proxy_pass http://nodebb/; 
}

Because Anubis can't filter by HTTP method, unless I am mistaken. This just broadly allows all incoming activities. If you want to get specific, limit it to your shared inbox or individual user inboxes via regular expression or something. I didn't find that it was necessary.

As for botPolicies.yaml

  # Allow /inbox
  - name: allow-ap-headers
    headers_regex:
      Accept: application/ld\+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"
      Accept: application/activity\+json
    action: ALLOW

  - name: allow-assets
    path_regex: /assets
    action: ALLOW

The former allows those specific AP headers (it is naive, some AP impls. send slight variations of those two headers.

The latter allows our uploads.

Pretty sure if Obama, Clinton, Biden, or Harris said "praise be to Allah" in a tweet the media would crucify them no matter the context.

But when Trump does it, crickets.

Very cool to see fresh new forums popping up! I've written a NodeBB-specific federation kickstart guide here that you may be interested in 🙂

... and how, pray tell, are they supposed to do this, logistically?

Station inspectors in every maple syrup farm? Who's paying for that?

@rabiezaater@piefed.social not all instances enable them. I think Piefed can restrict them in some manners (local users only, or something), and in NodeBB you can disable them completely.

It's not an all-or-nothing proposition, if you think downvotes are not good, run a software (or join an instance) that doesn't have them enabled.

To my knowledge, Catodon was started by @panos@catodon.rocks, who for the longest time was a Firefish advocate, but was disappointed by the bait and switch pulled by those devs.

With the advent of AI, Panos is taking it upon himself to fork Firefish and build the social media experience he wanted all long.

Can't really argue with that :smile:

A bank probably would, but I don't know if they'd do it for just anyone.

More importantly, if you're crossing a border with large sums of cash, you must declare it at the border.

CBSA is not in the business of stealing money, but they will confiscate it if you don't declare it.

I disagree. I think that you can have both.

I think big tech has proven that it cannot be trusted. Their priorities are simply not in alignment with our own. Legislation seems to be the only lever that can hope to rein them in (market forces are no longer strong enough).

At the same time, smaller networks do not have the resources to comply with government regulations to a T, and so they should be given a longer leash. Governments also do not have the resources to chase down every Tom, Dick, and Harry running a Lemmy server (well, they do, but they shouldn't.)

Whether reality will play out this way is uncertain.

For a fediverse based technical support hub, have them post to @technical-discussion

More than happy to help. Fedify is good, but they might not be using js 🙂

Isn't that basically a Piefed topic?
