where in Berlin will it be? I'd love to talk about Fediverser.

Be careful what you wish for.
The old "information wants to be free" adage is not just a quip for pirates to justify download of copyrighted material . It's also a good reminder that any technology that is created to limit transparency *will be subverted in favor of ruling elite*.
I for one *do not* want an internet where I can not browse freely. "Consent-based mechanisms" work at personal, local level, not at a global one.

robots.txt is no contract, no one should expect to be protected from being crawled just because they placed some hints indicating what user agents are welcome.
Relying on consent and general good behavior is just bad digital hygiene. I'd rather people just acknowledged that and make it a basic principle: do not post anything on the open web unless you are sure you don't mind it being available to any present or future malicious/adversarial entity.

Ok, so now it is official: fediverser was awarded a grant from #nlnet to support an even smoother migration from #Reddit to #Lemmy
I'll be working on the following improvements:
- The Fediverser site will be able to automatically choose any of the participating instances as the new home for the migrating redditor.
- "Community Ambassadors" to reach to Reddit mods and power users, and guide them to the migration.
- Integrate the "Login with Reddit" to the Voyager client.

I think I need to rethink my approach regarding emails to sign to Communick. At the moment they are not required, because I really don't need to collect it for anything to work, but it's the third customer that signs up, pays for an instance and then disappears. I feel bad for just taking the money, but at the same time I don't think refunding them is a good idea, it costs me a bit and it makes my account riskier for payment processors.
What do you think?

I don't see any "technical" issue with curl|sh, but do you really think that normalizing the act of downloading and executing random code from the internet is a good idea, without any social proof?
Sure, my mom wouldn't be doing curl|sh anyway but I'm thinking of a linux newbie who learns that "it is okay to curl|sh" and ends up installing all sorts of crap in their system.
