Jerboa app and Lemmy 0.18 (self.lemmyworld)

The 0.18 version of Lemmy was announced. This will solve many issues.

But we can't upgrade yet because the captcha was removed, and captcha relied on Websockets, which are removed in 0.18 so despite the devs agreeing on my request to add captcha back, this will not be until 0.18.1. Without captcha we will be overrun by bots.

Hopefully this 0.18.1 will be released soon, because another issue is that the newest version of the Jerboa app won't work with servers older than 0.18. So if you're on Lemmy.world, please (temporarily) use another app or the web version.

The Dev's stubbornness about captchas is a little baffling. Yes, they're not 100% foolproof but they help.

It's like arguing that we shouldn't have locks on or our doors because a skilled lock picker can get past them.

My very first post on Lemmy was a (admittedly out-of-date) rant about the devs stubbornness about the hardcoded bad words filter and their behavior in the relevant GitHub issues. And I had people jumping in the comments defending them, telling me that it was fixed years ago, they're better now, surely that couldn't possibly happen again.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

ETA: and yeah, I know about kbin, I've tried both, kinda waiting to see all the new Android native apps before completely moving over there. Seeing how all this shakes out.

Lemmy has a hardcoded profanity/vulgarity filter?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

It had, but it was removed about two years ago in release 0.14.0 with the introduction of proper mod tools.
