Can't it be reverse engineered? It's java bytecode.
It's pretty pretty hard to have this achieved with how the platform is today. Content is one (communities and posts) but lack of WTF is going on even for tech savvy people is another thing. Try asking a non user to go to the main entrance place for Lemmy (like googling it). Then ask them to find something of interest. Then ask them to create an account so they can comment. Those pretty fundamental things are non-existent.
Pretending that they exist or are easy to use is like saying Arch Linux is easy or even driving is easy. It is not. You need tons of preparation. The above take 1 minute in all common social media. Unless those three things are clear for people 20 to 40 yo, Lemmy will never gain traction.
Not entirely. CF can protect you from DDOS of up to a few millions of calls per minute. Your home router would melt with that traffic. They also act as a firewall if you enable the proxy dns feature. They do a sanity check before forwarding the call. Also a home router cannot do this. And there's more.
I'm from Greece. I've heard numerous stories from the victims themselves, the ones that managed to survive. This is all true and just the tip of the iceberg.
It happens to the Evros river as well where people from Turkey come from.
There was a shipwreck in Pylos with hundreds drowned last year.
And there are many cases from people that are rescued that later are returned or tortured.
The ones that manage to get a staying permit as official refugees, are treated by most government offices with inequality and lies.
I'm having such a difficult time with Newpipe. Lots of bugs since forever, no support for account, no way to sort channel videos. I'll use it out of necessity rather than by preference.
OP you need to work on your emotions and stop the clickbaity titles.
