1 - jwt is the authentication cookie u get when u sign in with ur password, ur browser stores the jwt and then any further interaction authenticates using it

2 - yes, userscripts, extensions, custom frontends, apps, all apps have access to jwt

@GizmoLion lol, just a perspective from a dev who has loved a few projects for years, and abandoned a few others because holy shit they’re just not worth my time

i can see this happening in kbin & lemmy app-world where everyone picks “Ammenides for the Kbemmyverse” and the guy who puts 14 hours a day obsessively into “Omonaia for Cute Kbin” sees just like 3 users who decide to demand loli features and you don’t like lolis but you entertain them bc they’re your only users but after months of being annoyed by these fuckers you just press alt f4 one day and realize you’re being unhappy for a community that’s as alien to you as a “caress homeless people when you pass by” hobby club, and decide that enough is enough, and go raise tortoises in a Caribbean island cuz that’s all you’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t because you were making loli stickers for a bunch o lolicons cuz you wanted just a tiny bit more attention that you couldn’t get in real life due to being isolated in your room 24/7, therefore becoming hostage to your own seclusion-caused feedback loop of depression, loneliness and low self-esteem.

yes, i find suspiciously-specific incoherence funny

@GizmoLion well some app devs are gonna get bored for sure so we’ll see which ones grab a decent userbase and which ones disrupt the dev’s life so much that after all that time spent they quit being devs and join a lumberjack’s guild nearby to dedicate their lives to deforestation

You’re not wrong. The problem is that these links only work on Lemmy.

Lemmy looked neat but figuring out which instance to join was hard

how about any lol, any major instance is ok

and yeah lemmy is open source, there’s a lemmy instance for every point on the political spectrum, devs being commies makes no difference for the end result which is a very diverse (fe)diverse

you’re on kbin.social, not on sh.itjust.works, so first of all, why are you voting on what sh.itjust.works does?

sh.itjust.works is not a defederate-happy instance. If you want to join a defederate-happy instance, unlike kbin.social and sh.itjust.works, consider one such as the following, where exploding-heads.com has already been defederated:

• beehaw.org
• lemmy.ml
• lemmy.blahaj.zone
