As an administrator, I am aware that people cannot block me
As an IT professional, I can say the industry standard is to have separate accounts for using a platform and for administering that platform. But I’d recommend that more for security reasons.
There is the risk of someone spotting a problem in Lemmy source code and maybe creating a hyperlink that does something bad when an admin clicks on it - like that XSS that was just fixed but with access to more permissions
Thanks for your input
Dude you are overthinking this s lot. Just chill 🙂
I’m doing just fine I just want to give people the opportunity to talk to me and give feedback
you really shouldn’t log in as root
Again, you are overthinking it. This is free speech instance. If people want something they will tell you. Rn people want defederation so they will defederate and you don’t have much to do to stop them. Chill down a bit
my initial thought was “lol no”
based on other comment it seems like a maybe for tech reasons but otherwise still “lol no”
I assume it would only apply to local users being able to block you and federated wokees could already block you even now?
Anyway, I like your content but yeah, if I was in your shoes, I’d probably keep 2 accounts.
I’m in the IT sector tho so I’ve kinda had that mentality beat into me repeatedly for decades. Definitely makes sense from security perspective. That said, I log in as root sometimes anyway just bc I can lol.
And in this case for allowing users to block id probably something that could be a factor for defed situations, assuming they aren’t all just going to block us regardless…
