Update 1: This is an issue with cloudflare, we are having issues with the account that hosts the site, we are contacting cloudflare support about the issue.
Update 2: we have switched s3 providers and images should be working again, older images may be missing, we will have to do a merge with the old s3 storage backup into the new provider, we plan to do this soon, but all new images will work as expected, sorry for the issues and thanks for your patience and kindness while we were working on the fix
If it’s so obvious, feel free to make your own instance and run it how you want
I don’t care enough about the fediverse to waste my time on that, and if I did I’d probably go with piefed anyway.
In any case, as I said in another post you can trivially check for yourself how removing the proxy fixes the issue (in short, grab the url from any image posted in the frontpage or wherever, remove the proxy bits and fix the encoding, and it’ll work without any issues).
Yet you care enough to type multiple college length comments just about your paranoia. Either do something about your bitching or shut up already.
Can we not attack people offering constructive criticism? I get they didn’t offer a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, but I value dissent even if you don’t.
Paragraphs are easier than hosting an entire instance and it’s weird you don’t realize that or are hand-waving it to serve your personal attack.
I work in software and manage hosted services myself, for personal and professional purposes. Once set up, it’s pretty easy. It’s once an issue like this arises that it can become a bit of a nightmare. What I’m going on about is the dude putting in well over an hour, at least, of typing about his little conspiracy theory. Could something sketchy be happening? Yes. Is it likely? No.
