Yes! It has automated scans which will pick them up

Thank you! I’ll be watching with great interest! Lots of potential :)

A couple of questions. If I was trying to keep a consistent workspace to build a community around, would it be persistent after the host logs off, and are their tools to protect it from trolls etc who discover it a workspace?

All I read in these threads is effectively “WAAAH I don’t WANNA pay!”… Without realizing that the payment gave them something significantly more secure.

I’ve never used Plex, but the thing that stopped me from looking at it isn’t that it’s a paid service. It’s that it’s partially centralised, and starting to become hostile to its user base. This current change, locking down a previously free feature being an iconic example of that.

My partner and I fund two decently sized fediverse instances and a matrix instance mostly out of our own pockets. We do that precisely because we have both actively chosen to move away from centralised, user hostile social media platforms. And whilst Plex isn’t a social media platform, it is centralised and becoming more user hostile, and I won’t pay for that.

(And to be clear, I’m front of house, I’m not responsible for setting up our instances security :P)

Put it behind a reverse proxy!

I guess I haven’t noticed that. The non technically literate folk I know use smart TVs, or can download Jellyfin from an app store. Then they just use the URL when the app asks for it.

There’s no other configuring to do on their end.

As long as the technical person does all of the setup on their end, the non technical person only has to enter a domain and port in their jellyfin client.

Is it federated/does it have social elements?

As soon as Jellyfin allows downloads for offline viewing

Time to jump ship then…

Jellyfin has had sync play for a long time

Yeah, it does

You’re free to argue for the normalising of slurs people level against you. I won’t stand in your way. But again, you don’t get to decide that slurs used against other people should be normalised, when the impact of those slurs isn’t felt by you.

Unless you’re trans, that isn’t your call to make. You don’t get to decide that it’s ok for people other than yourself to be exposed to slurs. Stay in your own lane.

instances/hubs/rpcs cannot block a user account or community

Why would I want that? That sounds genuinely awful.

Edit - And the plebbit homepage talks about making a 4chan equivalent, and along with this post, there are pepe images everywhere. No thanks. Plebbit can fuck right off

Thanks. Dealt with

I don’t remember him speaking like that though! :P

Maybe I’ve just played too much Shadowrun with too many Australians, but lots of them ended up speaking like that, even when they weren’t meant to be Australian! :)
