As someone whose email inbox numbers in the thousands, I’m not sure how I feel about this one.

Correct. It’s intentional to keep users and communities unique since webfinger, the identification protocol used by AP, is understood to refer to one user at a time (although it doesn’t preclude it from sending multiple, which it does in the case of Lemmy.)

Lemmy will prioritize users over communities, which means you can essentially render a community unfindable if you make a user account of the same name. Oops!

Or maybe it’s the other way around, I forget.

Extremely concerning.

I knew there was hardcoded stuff to block instances, but this goes further… got a link?

In a weird roundabout way a disclosure gives me more reassurance.

If a software package went on for years and years without a peep with regard to security fixes or disclosures, I’d start to wonder what they’re hiding.

Don’t get me started on what a confusing name NodeBB is. We are not creative types and we thought the association with phpBB was “cool”. Well, it still is, kind of, but the association holds little weight today.

I’ve heard “No Debb” too many times to count, I just roll with it now. sigh. No Debbs allowed, okay?
