What kind of patch cables are you using here?
Requiring accounts with X days or X karma lead to subs where people would literally post just to get upvotes and the creation of bot accounts.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed about lemmy; posts/comments feel far more engaging and don’t get drowned in thousands of comments that often don’t contribute much if anything.
When a vulnerability at this level happens and a patch is created, visibility is exactly what you need.
It is the reason CVE sites exist and why so many organizations have their own (e.g. Atlassian, SalesForce/Tableau )
It is also why those CVE will be on the front page of sites like https://news.ycombinator.com to ensure folks are aware and taking precautions.
Organizations that do not report or highlight such critical vulnerabilities are only hurting their users.
If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public
I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.
Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.
Folks that rent an Airbnb are often wanting more than a boring room (full kitchen, yard, washer/dryer), which is still without a doubt vastly cheaper than any hotel.
Sure there are shitty hosts with ridiculous rules, but those are things you should be researching in advance to paying.
I have stayed at Airbnbs across 4 states and four countries; other than one of them being cancelled due to plumbing issues, we have not had a single problem and each time it was far cheaper (~40%) and had more options than hotels.
