I mostly agree with you, the internet must change, and it’s changing for the good with these non-profit decentralized networks like Lemmy.

These companies abused the internet too much and it’s hit a breaking point. People are taking the power back. I look forward to a user-owned internet again where the content I see is not entirely controlled by corporate interests.

I think these websites will genuinely die within the next decade. There’s just never been decentralized social media(of this kind) to compete with them before.

Public key auth, and fail2ban on an extremely strict mode with scaling bantime works well enough for me to leave 22 open.

Fail2ban will ban people for even checking if the port is open.

Before people get worried about this, this is how literally any online service works. If you have an account anywhere, you trusted that service to not record your password.

Only exception is oauth, which actually might be a good idea for Lemmy.

That is a lot of words to say ‘they can’t see your password, but they can try to guess it. Make a secure password and you won’t have any problems’

You want descriptive answers? Make a descriptive question.

It can be as simple as ‘what is “x” and why?’

Meh, you sure can.

Expect to see something soon for it though! There’s an open issue on GitHub. Someone just need to implement it.

How is that going to even work, technically?

I think you should try it out just to see what happens. Worst case it doesn’t work, and if it does work there’s a good chance you’ll uncover some bugs that need fixing.
