Policy changes to registration at gitlab.xfce.org in c/[email protected]

I'm not sure that I understand your comment.

Permissions and access still needs to be managed and abuse mitigated.

gitlab.xfce.org is a self-hosted instance of GitLab and we have to take preventative measures to deal with the creation of spam accounts. Contributors can either do that with SSO from an account they have at either gitlab.com or github.com. This does not require Xfce dev intervention.

If one does not want to use SSO, they can contact us on Matrix and an account will be created manually.

P.S. Xfce does not have any employees. We are all volunteers.

Hi. Thanks for sharing your tip. However, I'm not seeing the links to your screenshots.

Could you check your link formatting?

Policy changes to registration at gitlab.xfce.org (mail.xfce.org)
 

From the Xfce mailing list: "Dear Xfce users and contributors, I would like to bring to your attention a change regarding registration on our GitLab instance.

Due to increased spam activity and Google making reCAPTCHA more difficult to use, we, the core developers, have decided to suspend new registrations until further notice.

New users can still create accounts via SSO, meaning a GitLab.com or GitHub account will be required for new contributors.

As a tentative measure, newly created users will no longer need to request fork permissions, we hope this helps lower the entry barrier.

This change is planned to take effect on 2025-02-15 (Saturday). For more details, please refer to: https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/gitlab_signup.

Cheers, Andre Miranda"

Welcome to c/xfce! (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone,

I guess we all have to start somewhere. Here goes...

Welcome to c/xfce

For the first general post to the community, I'd like to welcome all of you to this little corner of the Fediverse. Thanks for showing up.

I'm currently a moderator over at r/xfce on Reddit and started this instance as way for myself to get familiar with the Fediverse and look for possible alternate communities for users of Xfce.

Consider this post a sandbox for people to introduce themselves, test out the functionality, offer tips & suggestions for navigating the Fediverse conventions. I might even be willing to answer some questions; but, I would prefer to just carry on with folks simply discussing Xfce in a new place and ignore me.

By all means post some screenshots of your Xfce desktops in this thread and feel free to use this thread as a way to get more familiar with the platform and get to know one another.

I have no master plans for this instance. There are no plans, from me, to shut down r/xfce. This is a new place, same topic. If you like it here, great. It's up to you to help build and maintain it. If you don't like it, that's fine too. Go to the community/forum you enjoy most and please don't bitch about it here.

I'm new here too, so I am open to suggestions on how to make this a useful place to visit.

For now, the only rules I have for this space are:

  • Keep it Xfce related
  • Be polite & respectful of one another

I've also created a similar space over at https://fedia.io/m/xfce if you are curious about how that platform works
