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:
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.
What’s your content policy? Copyright latte.isnot.coffee? Creative commons? ISC?
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.
Thanks! Interestingly, it appears mod actions from other servers appear in our modlogs so it’s more “global” than I initially expected, but a welcome surprise.
I’ve just today done a bit of work with the logging, indeed nginx was set to log initially (we used https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible to install) - to get around the issue of needing to identify and ban potentially abusive users, I’ve gone ahead and enabled IP masking which basically gives us a “fake” IP in the logs (eg 60.0.0.0 would be converted to 89.2.0.5. I’d actually like to configure this further so it uses out of bounds nonsensical IPs, 708.9.2.1 for example) but helps us track down issues: https://www.nginx.com/blog/data-masking-user-privacy-nginscript/ - luckily Lemmy itself on the Docker containers doesn’t appear to log sensitive information.
I’ve wiped the old logs prior to me doing that change
latte.isnot.coffee disavows owning anything posted here, if I find some time I’ll make this clear, likely with the CC license like Wikipedia and Stack Overflow.
This is a long term URL, it’s actually relatively cheap and easy to run. Even if we all go back to Reddit eventually, I will likely keep this online just to keep federalization going with other servers and the ability to comment over there using this instance.
Not a shitpost.

Again, well done.

Love this, can’t wait to see this taking off!
