Does this mean changes to the ToS, defederation practices, etc.?

As stated in the title, the topic is concerning the AI bots that are spamming GitHub repos [1], not anything to do with nutomic. I personally encountered the bot in nutomic's repo [2], so I simply used it as a generic example. Given this, your comment feels off-topic, imo.
Maybe a joke at the expense of StackOverflow. […]
Yeah, I figured that, but I don't understand how it's relevant to the topic of this post.
I'm not sure I understand the relevance of your comment. Could you explain?
[…] Who’s that […]?
I presume they are referring to @[email protected] [1]; nutomic is one of the main Lemmy developers [1.1].
Context? […] what does he have to do with this post?
If they are indeed referring to @[email protected], I presume they are mentioning nutomic because the example GitHub repository that I cited [3] is owned by nutomic [2]; that being said, specifically regarding their claim itself that nutomic is transphobic [4] and is a genocide denier [4], it is entirely off topic, imo.
I will make no comment on the veracity of the claim itself without evidence. I do not wish to speak for nutomic — I will let them speak for themself here should they wish.

Do they have any documentation for that behavior? If so, could you link it?

I'm not sure what you mean; if I look at your account, for example, I can see all of your past vote scores [1].
I think this is a great slice-of-life picture. I honestly thought it was a painting, at first.
Anecdotally, I have personally encountered a bug where my Linux system couldn't handle the EDID from the monitor — so that particular model of monitor didn't function with Linux despite it working fine on Windows.
Also seems the most useful cause you get two colors for the price of one.

Disgusting. At least, it seems that their (ie Fidesz-KDNP, Jobbik, and Our Homeland Movement MPs: Péter Balassa and Imre Ritter [1]) public support is dropping [2].

An interesting alternative that I've found (for when making English breakfast or something similar) is to steep the teabag in the milk first before adding the hot water. I find that it cuts down on the bitterness and makes a much smoother tea.
What information does SJW log from its users? For how long is the respective information kept?
If an instance is to be defederated, the SJW admins should publish a post detailing their rationale
The Issue
Currently, it seems to be that the majority of instance defederations happen silently on SJW: As of writing this, SJW currently blocks federation with 86 instances [1], yet, from what I can tell [2], there has not been 86 announcements. For clarity, this is not intended to be construed as an accusation, pointed at the SJW admins, that this is some sort of intentional obfuscation; however, for the sake of transparency and understanding, I think it would be a good practice to open these practices up to the rest of the instance.
Proposal
I propose that whenever an instance is to be defederated, an open (ie unlocked) post should be published by the SJW admins (eg it could be published to [email protected]) detailing the name of the instance that is to be defederated, the rationale for why it is to be defederated (including evidence to support the rationale), and what steps would need to be taken by the respective instance's admins in order for that instance to be r
TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx"
nginx ("engine x") is an HTTP web server, reverse proxy, content cache, load balancer, TCP/UDP proxy server, and mail proxy server. […] [1]
I still pronounce it as "n-jinx" in my head.
The UI version should be included at the bottom of the page alongside the BE version
I propose that the UI version be included alongside the backend version at the bottom of the page. For example, Lemmy.ml does this [1]:
I think this information is useful to have for diagnostic purposes, reporting bugs, and for referencing documentation.
I propose that SJW conduct periodic censuses of its userbase
I think it could be useful to collect this data, both for administrative and research purposes.
I'm unsure, currently, exactly what data should be collected by the censuses (that would be proposed and discussed here). The data that is collected, should be collected anonymously. Furthermore, participation should be entirely voluntary.

You can see the exact moment when a bird swooped down to catch something on the snow
In case you aren't sure what to look for: If you look at the left side of the tracks, you can see the imprint of the wing feathers on the snow. I'm guessing this is where the bird landed on top of the prey, which it saw on the surface of the snow.
What is the maximum username length for a Lemmy account?
Solution
The Lemmy server appears to have a database limit of 255 characters [2]; however, individual instances appear to put their own limits on username length though the frontend [3] and/or the API [4.1][4.2].
Original Post
If you know, please also provide relevant documentation.
UPDATE (2025-02-02T06:06Z): I did some brute-force testing, and, at least for sh.itjust.works, it seems that the maximum username length is 50, and the maximum password length is 60 [1].

The OSM Community discusses the Trump Administration's renaming of "The Gulf of Mexico" to "The Gulf of America"
President Donald Trump just said during his inauguration that he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Aside from the political aspects, how does that even work? How does OSM choose a source for that? I’m curious! Also, somebody executed what I thought while I wrote this post:

If I have to fact-check the uncited claims made in news articles, doesn't that make me the journalist?
To the admins and moderators of Lemmy: How often do you encounter disturbing content? How do you cope with the things that you see?
And, if you are comfortable with sharing, what are some of the worst things that you've seen?
Does reporting a user from Instance B on Instance A forward the report to Instance B's admin(s)?
Say a user from Instance B commented on a post on Instance A, and a user on Instance A saw it. If the user on Instance A were to report it, would that report be seen by the admin(s) of Instance B, or would it only be visible by the admin(s) of Instance A?

This was my first time using alcohol markers. They're definitely different, but I like them a lot. It's far from perfect, but I think it's alright 😊. Note: While this was done freehand by me, the pose and everything wasn't my idea — I used this image as a reference.
When creating a post, how does the "Thumbnail URL" option work exactly?
Solution
As was pointed out by @[email protected] [1], this feature was added in this pull request. It appears that the custom thumbnail field is only relevant for posts that share a URL: The "Thumbnail URL" field is used to specify a custom thumbnail to be used in place of what would've been automatically generated by the provided URL [2].
Original Post
I thought it would be for adding a custom thumbnail that appears for the post in the feed, but then that seems to be a duplicate of adding an image. At any rate, I tried adding an image link to it, and no image showed up for the post. So I'm not entirely sure what it's actually for.
EDIT (2024-11-30T22:22): Perhaps it's for the pre-expanded thumbnail for a post if it has an image? Does that mean that it only works if you have an image specified? Can it be used to override the thumbnail that's generated from a shared article? Does it work
