Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.

This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.

Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.

Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.

Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.

All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.

To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

I am not DOSing Hexbear, higher traffic from VPN IP addresses is expected because there's fewer IP addresses per user.

Rate limiting by IP address is an anti-privacy op

Edit: Maybe the rate limit can be increased for login requests?

here is what an admin told me

Account actions including login are currently rate limited to mitigate the ability of the fascist wreckers currently raiding

if you look at the modlog, in the morning of today there were a bunch of new accounts banned, and its because there was a raid

I saw that there was a raid, I didn't realize that it's ongoing. Thanks, that makes sense

Damn Knuckles why the hell is your password so long?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Because I need absolutely everyone to know that I use a password manager

it's probably not a VPN thing, I was trying to log in like an hour ago without a VPN and got the same error

I also noticed that rate limiting has been really bad lately. I'm running 3 bots and It's impossible to login all of them at the same time (plus my own account). I have to wait like an hour between each login

I had this happen too not on a VPN. I think it is just a site hiccup happening recently

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

the site is broken.. i can't login either because my 2fa is suddenly broken and attempting to login more than twice blocks me for like 2 hours from trying again

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You have go have some limit on logins to prevent brute force attacks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Agreed, but considering that 2 other users in this thread say it's happening to them, too (including a non-VPN user), the current limit is probably too low
