Yes I know there already are Xbox communities on Lemmy but hear me out.
Think of this new community as more of a news feed. It will have the latest Xbox news entirely readable on Lemmy with no links to read the article on external sites.
Because there is no website to try and drive traffic to there I’ll be no click bait and no ads or sponsored content.
Obviously the community is more than welcome to post content too about things they’ve accomplished in games or questions about Xbox or even help and advice.
So come and join the newest Xbox community on Lemmy.
personally i think that’s not a great answer
yes, it is.
.scr
is also a valid executable that windows pcs will run, but i wouldn’t go about distributing programmes as suchalmost all websites do that now, but man-in-the-middle attacks aren’t really the issue with .zip domains
this issue isn’t clicking links to places you weren’t expecting, but clicking a link to a place you were expecting. if i send you an email saying “i sent you the invoice.zip you asked me to”; then you’d be expecting that link to open the invoice zip file
especially on lemmy, as links often follow the format “https:⧸⧸domain.com⧸c⧸topic@differentdomain.com”
this is true (although anyone that has
||.zip^
blocked won’t see images hosted on lemmy.zip)i think it’s a necessary reaction. i’ve blocked
.zip
on both my parents’ computers (and my own, but i at least know how to disable it for specific sites). now admittedly they’re unlikely to be using lemmy[1], but you get the pictureyes. but giving them more attack vectors isn’t the best idea
this may be true, but A) we’re not there yet, and B) that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing (or relevant)
this is not the best attitude, as (as @quortez says), lemmy doesn’t currently allow migration or re-federation
points 3 & 8 are the most pertinent.
(sorry it’s long, but i might link to this in future so i wanted it somewhat comprehensive)
although i have just set up a lemmy acct. for someone a similar age, and only slightly more tech-savvy ↩︎
