Easy fix without much/any HTML knowledge required, just inspect each text field and change type="password" to type="text". You can even do the reverse on password fields to display what you typed, it's what any of the "show password" buttons do to toggle between showing/hiding the text.

Yep, CAHOOTS has been in operation for decades.

There is a status page that tracks the downtime, it's not totally detailed but gives a bit of information about the problem they're dealing with. The last 2 days of logs are particularly bad 14+ hrs of partial downtime.

It's like a fun* little cat and mouse game, you figure out the patterns to block specific traffic, then they adapt and you start again. I even saw some users comment the other day they were being hit with false positives and blocked because the blocking was too aggressive. Fortunately there are companies that specialize in this kind of stuff like cloudflare. But that costs money so it wasn't added until just recently, so it's possible attacks are still getting around that.

I've been going to sh.itjust.works. You can find a list of other instances here as well.

They were getting hit with a lot of DDoS attacks a week or two ago, that may still be going on. Also they took off faster than most instances so a lot of this is just growing pains.

many people have been bailing from the server

That's not a bad thing, the content is shared between instances so you can get it on the other sites too. People going to other sites will hopefully help balance the load and possibly help with the growing pains. I haven't created an account on another instance yet, but I've been visiting other instances when .world goes down.

Cognitive dissonance baby! And I'm right there with you.

What you're wanting to do is sort a list, I know that word allows you to sort as bulleted list.

Edit: I assumed their mobile app had similar features to the desktop version, but after installing it's severely lacking in features.

I wish farts would replace people, imagine just being floating sentient stink clouds.

When I created my account I checked the box just out of reflex before I realized what it was for.

Been a few years since I looked back over my old livejournal, always funny to see just how different of a person I was 20 years ago.
