I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • No problem, I'm still making the polls/playlists and there's no limit to the number of nominations per user. I'll look into the popularity side to see if it is submittable

  • Why don't you just implement federation normally instead of taking this roundabout way of doing things? As long as your site contributes content back, and makes it clear where content is from, other projects like piefed and lemmy would be happy to have your project join the network.

    Continuing like this will likely get you IP blocked from wherever you're mirroring content from.

    Also these platforms are open source. You are allowed to copy and modify things for your own projects, as long as you follow the basic rules in the license.

  • I'm not sure what would make you think that. When I see discussions about Canadian firearm rules in !canada@lemmy.ca and elsewhere, it's usually reasonable and level-headed.

    The only exception I can think of is if someone is threatening to use the firearm illegally, which then becomes a legal matter for law enforcement.

  • There is a popup explaining how it works when you install it. I asked something similar and the dev replied saying that they are looking into alternatives that don't upload the image anywhere: https://lemmy.ca/comment/22876710

    Tldr from the pop-up:

    • it uses litterbox by default for the auto delete, and catbox when that fails
    • it needed to add uploads since apps aren't allowed to programmatically upload to search engines
    • it recommends against scanning anything sensitive since Google/Bing are keeping it too

    I don't have the latest version since I got the fdroid release, but the GitHub release mentions a number of things that are now processed locally (ex. Text, QR, phone numbers)
