I tend to agree. I think there’s little need as a developer to go that extra mile for accurate browser detection without UA unless it’s for fingerprinting. Most feature sets are supported and where it isn’t you have a polyfil or whatever shim to make it work. So in the case of fingerprinting you try not to rely fully on anything the user can alter easily.

Browser detection is rarely done through User Agent lookup anymore. Nowadays we determine browser through feature detection.
In my honest and probably very controversial opinion, Lemmy is not more private than say using Reddit.
Not an expert, but I am a self hoster.
Not everything is but yes, some things can be seen. Your saved posts are only visible to your local instance admins not every admin. Your subscriptions are visible to your local admin as well the admin of the community can see you are subscribed. Your DMs are visible to your local admins as well as the recipient’s admins. Your votes and comments will be visible to all federated admins. If you report a post, that report is visible to your local admins, the community’s mods and admins, and the reported person’s instance admins.
Say no more, I’m sold
4·2 years agoWouldn’t it make a difference in cases where the nameserver and host are not the same entity?
132·2 years agoLemmy.world is NOT defederated from lemmy.ml. the above user is completely wrong.
This is easily verifiable by going to https://lemmy.world/instances and scroll to the bottom to see which ones are blocked
I love how you spent more time defending your wrongness than correcting the mistake. Like is it that hard to hit the edit button
Great work!
This got me thinking, does Lemmy clear orphan pictrs files? Say a user uploads an image but never submits the comment/post? That file is still on your pictrs and publicly linkable. And what if the post or comment is removed by moderator or deleted by the author? Is Lemmy cleaning these up?

Fair point, I agree there should be such a check. It seems for now that the only ones affected were people who tried to intentionally mess with it. It will be a hard goal to reach completely because what’s ok and healthy for some could also be a deathly allergic reaction for others. There’s always going to have to be some personal accountability for the person preparing a meal to understand what they’re making is safe.
That’s a bit dramatic of a take. The AI makes recipe suggestions based on ingredients the user inputs. These users inputted things like bleach and glue, and other non-food items, to intentionally generate non-food recipes.
You can change what instance you use to one that defederates with the places you don’t want to participate with. Also, some apps allow you to hide specific instances through a UI option.
