> And it's still better than win8 and win10 combined. @mangeurdenuage @katnjia You say it as if combined they'd be twice as good and not twice as horrific ;-).
@keithzg @mangeurdenuage It's not like they've stated their demands either, at this point it's just developers taking the initiative implementing domain blocks. I hope no one outside of the !fediverse will notice and take this as a precedent for good practice.
@keithzg @kaniini If Play Store really were requiring blocking certain domains, we'd know by not being able to access certain sites from web browsers downloaded from there (for reasons other than Roskomnadzor).
@keithzg @kaniini But do Play Store and Apple Store even care if the user has to type the URL themselves? I think the only thing application developers have to do is not "feature" Gab as an option. Like AndStatus has some predefined instances, if there were Gab there, that'd be a motive for Google to remove it from Play Store.
@1iceloops123 @mangeurdenuage MariaDB 10.2 broke it (the EmailRegistration plugin in particular), fixed now. Expect the fix in @diogo's upstream soon. For !admins of !gnusocial: if on MariaDB 10.2 or later, update the confirm_address schema.
@keithzg @kaniini Well, true %). What rubs me the wrong way is that this is against the free software idea that the user should decide how they want to use the software. There's a reason why "do no evil" licences are not qualified as free software. Even though this doesn't make the clients non-free, it does go against the free software spirit, that software should not have anti-features. I should also point out that, unlike instances, clients aren't a service but programmes.
> and client apps probably need to block gab domains anyway to avoid being booted from the app store @kaniini I'm afraid to imagine what would happen if Gab were to host an IMAP server…
