Re: Downvote bots. I can't say they're necessarily bots, but my instance has scripts that flag accounts that exclusively give out downvotes and then bans them. That's about the best I can do, at present, to counter those for my users.

It is usually not a good idea to specify what your exact metrics are for a ban. A bad actor could see that and then get around it by randomly upvoting something every now and then.

The same goes for pretty much everything in life, not just games. It might suck in the short term, but just don't put up with friends/partners/jobs you don't like. Make a change

There is also the risk of homograph attacks. The link below is for domain name encoding via IDN, but the same applies to usernames. You could easily impersonate another user by having chars that look similar.

Sure, but even if they started tomorrow it would probably be years before it even could be considered experimental outside of the most daring early adaptors.

Having a combability layer is not ideal but it would mean they could have something worker for more users faster and at the same time see which modules/drivers they should focus on.

Approximately at 2024-08-09 09:30 MFA had been removed for all users due to a mistake when MFA was intended to be reset for an individual user.

An UPDATE without a WHERE?

Must be some weird AI bug, because in defensive wars you almost always get your allies to join.

...and it drives me insane when it is not real links but some javascript/button/div-with-onclick/etc and middle click won't work

Probably brain as others have said, but mine thought "mmmm. Bigger bacon"

Recruiters can't see the difference! (Ok, not all but a worrying high percentage)

It was probably used for spam in the past, so they added a rule to trash all links to that domain.
