For what it’s worth, the upstream issue appears to be this one: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4120 And it seems like there is some vague interest in this being solved in the medium term feature. So let’s not give up hope just yet.

I honestly thought this was a real headline before seeing the source.

An inbox delete would be enough as far as the user is concerned, it wouldn’t need to be deleted on the server side. But e.g. some people send literal gore. Moderation is useful but understandably may often take a while, so until then there should be a way to get it out of sight.

There’s the “Fetch Community” button that’s meant to work around this I think. But it seems to be broken.

That worked, thank you!!

i tend to put my protagonists on at least one of the covers, so for my latest mage college book series here she is: https://bit.ly/45KWjnt (i blanked out the book title so this doesn’t come across as advertising or something)

oof, that’s just sad. i hope people switch, firefox is actually not that bad these days

For what it’s worth, this is a long rabbithole on the whole e2ee thing so just in short:

From what I gathered poking around in the past XMPP’s OMEMO seems to have had shakier protocol design often leading to silently lost messages if you use multiple devices (I asked around among devs what it actually did and why, would take a while to explain) while Matrix usually has noisily lost messages so you can try to resend. So since that happened to me I’ve abandoned XMPP personally, I wouldn’t know why these differences existed or whether it was fixed since then.

(Regarding group chats, I also think e2ee is still useful there, can limit leaks a little if you use history since joining and ban leakers if possible.)

hi i’m new! i would be interested in a matrix chat about climate stuff if there ever is any, xmpp seems a bit wonky with its encryption in comparison or it was when i last used it
