Basically I can't fetch the previous messages on grupchats something that is required for me.

A big thank you to Radically Open Security for performing the audit and to @nlnet for funding it.

A recent security audit of #Conversations_im¹ found that wildcard certificate handling didn’t fully comply with the spec.

Conversations was accepting *.a.example for c.b.a.example, even though wildcards are only meant to match a single label.

This issue has been fixed in version 2.18.0, now live on Google Play.

Some Mexico news:

President Sheinbaum and her lackeys at the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH - an ostensibly autonomous state institution) are battling with the United Nations over disappearances. The UN says disappearances in Mexico are "generalized and systemic." With no sense of irony, or apparent grasp on reality, the CNDH replied that, "We reject that Mexico is experiencing a crisis of disappearances and more so reject that these are the result of State policy." They then ramble on about foreign meddling making things worse. Apparently 124,000 disappeared since 2006 is something that just happens?

jornada.com.mx/2025/04/07/poli…

In an incident causing widespread indignation, on Saturday afternoon, a poorly built structure collapsed in strong winds at the international AXE Ceremonia Festival in Mexico City, killing two photojournalists. That was at 5:30pm. The show continued until 2am with no interruption.

The festival was to proceed on Sunday and authorities said they would close the venue after the festival ended. In response to outrage over the deaths and refusals by artists, including mi querido Ed Maverick, to perform as if nothing happened, they finally cancelled the remainder of the event.

"It was not an accident, it was negligence," say the journalists' union.

The Mexican government's battle with reality and the United Nations continued today with the Senate passing a resolution demanding the UN remove Olivier de Frouville from his post as head of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances for daring to propose that disappearances in Mexico occur in a "generalized or systemic manner."

Apparently what forces the State's hand is when some UN functionary says something approximating the truth.

Apparently they can't be bothered with the 124,000 disappeared, the extermination camp discovered in Jalisco last month, or their own vapid promises to take action after the fact.

Exige Senado sancionar a funcionario de Naciones Unidas

El presidente del CED incluyó en su declaración el grave señalamiento, sin sustento alguno, de que hay desapariciones forzadas en México, argumentando la temeridad de que éstas son generalizadas y sistémicas, expresó Gerardo Fernández Noroña.

I would like to pull some content from Ukraine to my Friendica instance and found the following relay that has all hte relevent Ukrainien Mastodon instances:
relay.social.net.ua/
However, `console relay add relay.social.net.ua/actor` gives me a `couldn't be added`. The reason might be that this is not a yukicmochi relay but based on some other code. Would you be so kind to have a look whether this can be fixed on my end or on theirs and how?

@Michael 🇺🇦 I see that in the Admin Panel, Sites, Message Relay, I can set "Number of languages for the language detection" and "Language Quality" and the description reads as if the relay filters inbound content. However, where do I set the languages for which to filter? There is no setting where I can select which languages I want to receive via the relay. Could it be that currently I only get English from all of my relays as my instance language is English?

So what we need is a) ability to configure the list of language for inbound filtering and b) filtering also, with a separate list of allowed languages per relay, filtering outbound contenct.

Where do I go to create an issue?

As to your other questions: I don't think we need Russian. In Ukraine, choosing Fediverse over mainstream networks is about equivalent to choosing to talk in Ukrainian only :). But generally, it would be good if we could configure a list of languages. As to readonly subscription, that would be a quick fix, but the Fediverse is about interaction, so it would not be a good solution.
