  • Small Update: When uploading images from the tor mirror, they are stored in the DB with the onion address. One workaround I’m currently applying is running a script periodically that updates image links. It looks like this:

    UPDATE post SET url = REPLACE(url, 'http://your-hidden-address.onion', 'https://your-clear-domain.tld')

    And btw all this is for version 0.18.3 (to avoid confusion in the future)





  • You lying to yourself or have unfounded expectations.

    Nobody mentioned any expectations hm…

    Everything on Mastodon is in plain text, there is no encryption, and servers get mirrored.

    That’s 100% correct, and I think it’s important to explain that to non-techy users.

    It’s only the login info that stays with the instance […]

    Technically yes, but I’d cut the “only” because login info includes the users email. So in case of a raid or data breach, I’d like to know about it.

    The entire point of why Mastodon was ever started was censor evertbody that has the wrong opinion. Twitter wouldn’t delete people because of what they believe, so Mastodon was developed to ban IP address so only approved speech could exist on the internet as far as they are concerned and can avoid ackniwledging the real world. A high number of people on there, especially the admins, live in cult

    I don’t know what places on Mastodon you’ve visited, but that’s not the point of Mastodon or the Fediverse in general at all. But we don’t have to start a discussion about that since you seem to already have made up your mind about it.
