CryptPad version 2.21.0 has been deployed and released on GitHub: https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/releases/tag/2.21.0

This release mostly consists of bug fixes and translations, but we've also put some time towards making life easier for server administrators.

Mozilla is shutting down their IRC servers and moving to Discord, a proprietary chat service.

Hey Mozilla, aren't we forgetting something here? Our very own "Mozilla Pledge for a Healthy Internet” states:

> Principle 2 The internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.

> Principle 6 The effectiveness of the internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability (protocols, data formats, content), innovation and decentralized participation worldwide.

Here's a cute dog for you!

I will be spending less time working on pixelfed as I get back into freelancing/consulting.

If you are looking for a full stack developer, DM me!

We used to be the #1 alternative to Instagram on https://alternativeto.net/software/instagram/ but someone marked our project as "Discontinued" because registration is closed on a specific instance.

Pixelfed has never been more alive!

https://alternativeto.net/software/pixelfed/

this is no cause for alarm, i guarantee you twitter and facebook alone do MUCH more nefarious things with the DMs they regularly read and comb through, and i can at least speak for myself that ive never had the implication to go pawing through my instance's database to read PMs because like, ugh why thats gross lmao.

but, just never expect privacy on a platform that doesn't provide it, is all. the point of fedi is to publish, not to keep secrets.

anyway dipshit reply guys notwithstanding, periodic reminder and psa that

1 - fedi is just a bunch of postgres databases with a friendly clown interface on them and anything you post is copied to hundreds of them! this is cool and fine and "federation" but it is not private at ALL! there is zero encryption!

2 - as such yes any DM can be found in said database if an instance admin on one of the instances involved in the DM goes pawing through their database. DMs can also be reported by a participant. this is true of any service, incl twitter, facebook, etc because for those messages to be sent they need to... exist, in a database.
