We are aware of servers that have disabled uploads are getting suspicious user registrations, likely to test the php vulnerability.

Please shut down your server until you can patch PHP later today.

🚨 We just shipped v0.15.0, with breaking changes, make sure you read the update guide!

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/releases/tag/v0.15.0

We are preparing an update of our app for Android that moves the Compose button to the navbar and improves performance!

Because of the Social Media Platforms (Ofcom Licensing) Bill in the uk, fediverse admins globally now have to get a license to be able to be connectable from the uk.

Edit: I forgot to add that this hasn't passed yet, but it probably will because politicians don't listen to us here

This is the bill: https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/4285

Please not that it says operating in the uk not operating from the uk, so it applies globally.

To get a license:
- You have to send snail mail to ofcom to get a license
- Employ a compliance team
- Keep all your logs
- Ensure that content made available does not
"incite criminal conduct, violence, hatred or public disorder." Whatever the fuck that means, it's so vague you can make that anything
- Ensure that content made available does not violate the laws of the uk... So you have to follow uk law outside of the uk now
- Ensure that there isn't misinformation, so I would just not have to post misinformation on my lemmy instance then? Or is that not enough for them? I can't remove stuff on other instances you fucking morons
- You have to dox all your users

The punishment for breaking any of these rules is as follows:
- An unlimited fine
- Up to two years of jail time
- A court order to have ISPs block you(fucking horrible my lemmy instance is in my wardrobe I don't want my internet cut off)
- And anything else the court " considers appropriate." Which is anything so just anything else
