I sure wish the Reddit-obsessed would stick to their Reddit community. I am so sick of hearing about that place.

People have been having sex in the backs of taxis and Ubers for decades. That’s with another human in there. I suspect more people are willing to do stuff in a car when they feel like they are alone (they are being recorded on video). Especially inebriated people who are headed somewhere to have sex anyway.

And the logo is a scorpion for some reason?

I’m not leaving Signal until someone implements keeping data at rest encrypted on both ends and requires multi factor unlock (bio+pin is my choice).

So sick of E2E clients that leave the data in plaintext on the devices and then back it up in plaintext to the cloud.

I would prefer regex blocking, as there are categories of communities that I am not interested in seeing regardless of which instance they are on. It is annoying to have to continually block them because someone setup a new instance and created the same community again.

Just wait until the t-shirt/mug scammers show up with their post bots. Then people will understand why mod helper bots are needed.

I don’t think anyone is arguing against dual DNS servers. The distinction being made is that a second DNS server is not a fallback. Most newbies think “secondary” means it will only be used when the primary is unavailable. That’s not true. A client is just as likely to use a secondary DNS as a primary. If only one DNS uses pihole, then the secondary will serve ads because it’s just calling the upstream DNS resolver.

Personally, I accomplished what OP is talking about with two rPis. First serves DCHP from 192.168.1.10 to .100, second serves .101 to .250. I send the two piholes as primary and secondary DNS. I also use Unbound as the upstream, but that is just personal preference.

I am still working through fediverse communities to curate my subscribed experience. As such, I still like to look at Local/All feeds to get ideas for additional subs. While doing that, there are many topics/communities that just aren’t relevant to me. I would like to be able to preemptively block them rather than have to manually click into their community to block them.

Does the fediverse support regex use to block? I can’t find it anywhere. For example, if I don’t want to see anything related to “Bork” I would like to be able to use that regex to block all the “Bork” related communities (Bork, ActualBork, BorkinSmork, SmolBork, BorkCirclejerk, etc. ). Is this possible?
