There's a lack of warning about DOXXING, including self-DOXXing. Use a different Lemmy identity on different servers. DOXXing is easy when you DOXX yourself through a combination of interests in French, Hair Extensions, Ningbo, Physics, Quebec, Rabbits, Scuba and Vegetarian.

Not a shitpost.

Well done. I sincerely mean that. I was thinking of a longer comment where I say that in more depth, but in the meantime have some meandering thoughts:

  1. What's your log policy? Not just Lemmy, but Nginx? Aside from IPs, DIY VPNs are quite popular and might have exposed hostnames from the connecting side. The transparent Modlog linked at the bottom is excellent.

  2. What's your content policy? Copyright latte.isnot.coffee? Creative commons? ISC?

  3. Long term URL? I firmly believe federalised, though not necessarily ActivityPub, is where the future of 'social' is [an aside, I believe Silicon Valley believe this too with little funding of 'next big social site/app' ideas for a few years now, and 'existing'].

X. On URL, but more of a thought point, DNS requests may be unencrypted. A downside of federalisation is visitors to sites may be identified at the ISP level.

Y. Not having to input an email address is a plus. There may be a nascent hesitation by some about inputting their email address.

Z. Stick a list on the sidebar, like an oldskool blogroll, of other Lemmys that users might like? A big draw factor for Reddit was switching between subs all without a single login.

Again, well done.
