Are you serious?

A change.org with 51 signatures? I am usually not a cynical person, but there have never been any change.org petitions that have really changed anything.

Please stop with this online activism bullshit and go out into the real world and organize and actually do something.

Yeah, I was looking for that info, because I don’t trust any (especially new projects, that use AI).

How did you know, it was AI though? I am just curious

Disabling a particularly annoying theme seems to me like something you would wanna do on every device, no?

Maybey it would make sense to store the user theme in a cookie though, because that is a thing, you may want to be different on different types of devices.

Do you know, how long such a cookie lasts?

Yeah, that’s a good idea, I’ll try to implement that in a future update.

There are a lot of ways to inject javascript into css aswell. With @import, if you just escape css with </style> and so many more. It would be a herculean task to really sanitize css so that it’s fully safe unfortunately and if we were to make any mistake, that would pose a massive security risk for our users.
So maybe it’s possible, but I am afraid, that it’s beyond the scope of our project.

And, to your other question, there is an option in the user settings to disable community themes.

Yeah, unfortunately it will only work for servers, that have the theme in their files, so you would have to propose it to the repo.
This is mainly because of security concerns, because there are a lot of ways to inject malicious Javascript code into a theme, and we don’t want that federating across piefed.

There is a theming guide on our Codeberg, if you are interested: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/developer_docs/09_Theming_Guide.md

What projects are you working on, if I may ask?

You shouldn’t have to justify your identity. Sexulatity are just labels, it doesn’t really matter. Just identify as what you want / feel comfortable with!

That’s basically the difference between positive and negative freedom.

Negative freedom is the freedom from restrictions (like nobody prohibiting you from walking) while positive freedom is the ability for you to do something (like being able to walk)

There is no way to verify it. Sometimes it is quite obvious though. It’s not really about eliminating it completely (although I wish I could). It’s more about taking a clear stance and maybe keep off a few people, that think they can “help” with AI. Maybe we could ban people, when it’s obvious. Although we should always strive to still create a welcoming culture and not create too much trouble for the people, that don’t use AI.

Yeah, I also think this attempt will ultimately fail. They probably think it could work, but these people are not known for being particularly smart.

It could still divert some people from the right “path” (learning to appreciate good art though), which makes me a bit sad.

I think the ultimate goal is to destroy art in general because it has always been a majour driving factor for progressive social change (at least since the Renaissance), because art is about critically reflecting on our society and our environment.
