Who defines the untrusted applications though?

If GNOME wrote it then they probably trust it. If you’re using GNOME, then you’ve accepted their security model on some level.
At least you know to go look for it. Attackers will only get more sophisticated:






I ended up creating an account just to block communities/users. At the time there was a poster posting to his own instance that was federated with lemmy.world, and he was reposting nothing but reddit posts, and the volume was such that they had to go. With no algorithm there’s no way to just see subscribed stuff without losing out on discovering new things.
And just a tip, Lemmy will let you export (to JSON) your configuration options to include who you’ve blocked.
