Another comment from them: Also consider that Whatsapp and iMessage were exploited by flaws in the multimedia libraries. Should we remove image and video sharing in messaging apps?

From the lead developer: Code that doesn’t get executed cannot be exploited. It’s true that, when exploiting a vulnerability (in reachable code), you can take advantage of everything loaded into the program memory to take control of the execution, including unreachable code. But you’re assuming there’s a prior critical vulnerability in Molly that allows to alter execution flow in the first place

Your right, they could be shut down at any time so that’s a risk for now. That’s why they are working on their own messenger that improves on signal using their own decentralized servers. Signal hasn’t taken down others in operation currently either



Molly is FOSS fork of Signal that adds security and privacy features. They are now developing their own completely anonymous and decentralized, secure messenger.

The main site is located here: [molly.im](molly.im) The first paragraphs on the donation page: The goal is to build a secure messaging app with integrated support for Monero payments and a decentralized backend. The application will be based on the Signal fork Molly.im (henceforth 'Molly') but with a privacy-focused backend that allows the user to sign up anonymously (without phone number), encrypt their local database with passphrase encryption, RAM shredding, and more. Monero features will include the ability to set up a XMR wallet, send and receive funds, keep track of the balance, and review the history.

Christmas is tomorrow for me and I’m getting a ledger nano x. That’s all I know.


Maybe you could recruit others to be moderators


Ok I understand. I was just providing an example. I wont do it since there are mixed opinions are I agree with you a lot. Thanks!



Tails OS probably. It spoofs everything


I see what your saying but it would only be the top 10ish of the day. So Reddit users would already have sorted them by the best and worst.



I use this. It redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, reddit, google maps, simply translate (super cool, it lets you translate with google, bing etc.) and even Wikipedia. https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect


Ok, I assumed Lemmy did since there is an option to mark my account as a bot account in the settings.


But what about for example, a bot that pulls the top 10 posts a day in r/memes and posts them to the sublemmy c/memes? I feel like that would benefit everyone.



Is there a bot that can post from reddit/twitter/Instagram to Lemmy?
I want it to post from reddit at Lemmy least. Thank you in advance!

I like seeing it. It usually let’s me know if someone is a bot/troll or not




They do it for extremist content in general. I’m not sure about the specifics though





It literally doesn’t work if you slightly edit the photo. Tim Cook has allegedly been the one who has been pushing this within the company which makes me more worried.




Let’s just hope we don’t have civil war or states succeeding from the UNITED States…




Sounds good to me although if I got paid $15 an hour and lived in California where things are much more expensive than for example Kentucky, there would be huge incentive for me and many others to leave expensive cities and states. This would destabilize them, as many lower paid people would leave, creating an absence of lower paid workers. I think it should be proportional to the average cost of living. Feel free to prove me wrong though, I’m completely open-minded to everyone’s thoughts.


Its clearly a bad idea to have no restrictions for open carry. Giving everyone the ability to carry guns without more checks and balances causes more mass shootings. School has been open for a month in Texas and they have already had a school shooting. Its fairly obvious that the easier it is to get guns, the more shootings there will be.





Is it possible to set my subscriptions to private?
I'd prefer my community subscription list to be private.
