This is nice, but I'm confused about one thing: how can instance owners ensure illegal content such as CSAM doesn't get cached on their servers if defederation is not a thing?

Their help page technically says you can use the same phone number on up to 10 accounts, but that hasn't been the case in 4–5 years or more. It's more like 2–4 accounts per number allowed in my experience, and there is a few week cooldown on reusing a number even if you've already removed it from all accounts.

I don't think you can use the same email on multiple accounts at the same time, but using address extensions or creating new emails is easy.

it's unix (bsd), not linux.

also, the minimum is actually 4 digits. you can tap "passcode options" when setting/changing passcode. not sure how much better that would be though. i generally like face id but i do hope they add in-display touch id sometime.

I knew about `:x`, but I had no idea there was an actual distinction beyond just being a shortcut for `:wq`.

It's common for them to not include more than original and/or English audio, but most competent groups will generally include all available subtitles at least.

it does, but to use hashes you'd have to pin exact versions of every dependency, which is generally undesirable for a library

i don't understand why you're being downvoted, that's exactly what it is for. android users can use do not disturb as well.

how exactly does it violate your privacy to be merely allowed (not forced) to discuss your salary?

it definitely should be possible at a router level, why should i be forced to configure each device individually? that said, obviously it should be possible to override on the device level, like it already is most of the time.
