@pkrasicki This looks great and I'd love to check it out. Would it be possible to add support for my instance?

That modern UI addon looks pretty cool but doesn't work for me despite running 0.18.2.

Do you have to get your instance manually added for support?

Yeah it feels a bit softer. Pretty subtle difference but I actually prefer the native app haptics to the pwa a bit.

Have any trademark lawyers weighed in on this? I've only seen speculation.

It seems more complicated to me because it's actually the name of several fish and not just the name of a company. It's not like they're called Ford Motor Company Social, right? I'm also not sure that the other software out there is similar enough. They have to argue that customers would be confused but is social networking all that similar to a CRM?

Nah you were appropriately smart mouthed. The problem was my clumsy post intro.

I don't think there's any evidence of a global compromise but I think you're right that China wouldn't allow access if it didn't ultimately control it.

I couldn't find anything specific about iMessage but the keys are backed up to iCloud -- and we know that's compromised. I can't imagine them leaving users the option to just not back up to iCloud to avoid surveillance, but I haven't seen any specifics. Best to assume that under no circumstances do you ever have privacy from the gov't in China or even when messaging someone in China.

Apple proactively aids in censorship and stores all customer data, including encryption keys, on servers controlled by the Chinese government. They've also excluded security features from China and crippled existing features to aid government repression.

Love it!

Added bonus: people won't think they're being invited to quickbooks.social anymore ;)

Me too! And stoked to see if they actually make calckey.social magically transform into whatever [newthing].social is!

I used firefox and didn't have a problem. I'd double check that you grabbed the JSON archive from IG. You should contact Dansup though because it should be working. I think there might be "contact admin" link on the upload page.

I chose my instance because of the admin (Stux). Basically, I knew that I could trust that it would be well run and have great moderation standards. It's a small server for now and pretty sleepy. Most of my subscriptions are from lemmy.world and a few other larger servers but it doesn't matter. I guess "local" might be less useful but that doesn't bother me. I can say that, over the two weeks I've been here, I haven't experienced any sort of performance issues or downtime.

The one case where I could see it being important is creating new communities -- it's probably more likely to have one take off on a larger server.

No problem! Cheers :)
