The new @Pixelfed redesign is rapidly taking shape and will replace the entire existing webUI (admin dashboard, settings, guest UI, user UI, legacy UI)! We are also shipping several new API endpoints and resolving bugs/issues as we proceed with each page redesign. Stay tuned ✨ #pixelfed #pixelfedRedesign #pixeldev

In true dansup fashion, I overengineered the Loops Invites feature. So, to prevent enumeration, we require a captcha before validating the invite key (if you have captchas enabled, which you should) Then we verify the invite key securely (preventing timing attacks) after a 3-5 second delay, and rate limit requests by IP. Then we create a session token which is used in subsequent requests (like username availability/age gate) And expires in 15 minutes. There is more, but that's the gist 😎

oh dang, @stux⚡ did you know gram.social is more active than mstdn.social?? Pixelfed is really thriving ✨ Source: https://fedidb.com/servers

It's sad to see instances shut down without warning, I'm working on a short term and long term plan The short term plan: Personal Archive Node (PAN) - The Mini-PDS PAN will work with Pixelfed, Loops, Mastodon and other projects, and you can self-host or use a trusted PAN server, giving you peace of mind knowing *most* of your data is easily recoverable + migratable to another server, should you ever need it ✨ The long term plan: Personal Data Vault (PDV) - DID Layer for ActivityPub #soon #ap
