[Discussion] Pre-emptive Threads defederation - sh.itjust.works

Should sh.itjust.works preemptively defederate from Threads? Threads is the not-so-new reddit-like twitter-like public forum platform by Meta, the same commercial company behind internet behemoths like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. They’re working on ActivityPub integration so that they can bridge (federate?) with the fediverse. As far as I know, the focus is on Mastodon instances, but in the future that could include Lemmy instances too. Some have raised the question, worried about the future of the fediverse or even claiming that it goes against its definition. What do you think should be done? EDIT: correction EDIT.2: The Vote [https://sh.itjust.works/post/11308397] is on! Go make your voice heard. You have until Friday the 29th.

Filter all automayed archive posts? - sh.itjust.works

Hey folks. I’ve tried to get a filter working for all of the “this is an automated archive” posts from reddit. They’re pretty useless to me, as there’s very rarely any engagement, and they tend to show up en masse when a community decides to just mass archive from reddit. I’ve attempted to set up a keyword filter with “automated” “automated archive” and “this is an automated archive” but with no success. I assume the keyword filters are only looking at the title text, not the description. Is setting a filter like this possible at present time?

Being flashbanged by my fingerprint sensor - sh.itjust.works

Hey folks. Got a pixel 7 pro, and it’s been alright, except suddenly, if I press the fingerprint sensor on the lock screen for just a split second, it makes the WHOLE SCREEN go full-brightness, with a green tinge. I know it’s always lit up the scanner area, which is all it lights up if I hold the sensor, but if I release it early it’s actually very uncomfortable. Any suggestions besides the obvious “don’t let go 5head”? Is this an anfro version bug, a hardware issue? Anyone else had this happen?

weird carpeted step in closet - sh.itjust.works

I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I’ve seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?
