Many sites like “Elude” work perfectly without javascript, allowing their use through tools to escape censorship such as Tor.
Why doesn’t Lemmygrad implement this too?

Also posting 3 times in different sublemmys doesn’t make it more likely someone will respond. (But it is a common trait in spam bots.)
I’m not claiming it is. But it’s a possibility. And I’ve shared it on other sublemmys to draw attention to something essential.
Many tools, programs and websites are placed on the internet to attract specific users and collect data. And it’s possible to create a version without javascript with basic functionality, sites like Elude prove it.

Lmao, right? Well said. There are different tools for different jobs.
Running on tor is a very basic function
It does run on tor, you just have to enable javascript, losing some of the benefits of tor.
Either way, this isn’t the place for putting state secrets that make you fear for your life. There are already better tools for that, and lemmy was never trying to be that.
If you want a lemmy instance that does, make your own.
You’re clearly not a developer, so you don’t understand that what you’re asking is for the lemmy devs to start the frontend over from scratch. Additionally, for most normal users who don’t have your specific needs, JavaScript powered webpages are likely preferable. In a perfect world, there would be both a JS-free and a JS version of the web page to cater to both categories.
We don’t live in that perfect world, sorry. Feel free to dedicate thousands of hours to learning to program and then hundreds or thousands more to implement the feature you want. We’d all appreciate your contribution.
It’s not about state secrets…it is about user rights which is paramount to the free software movement. If developers really feel JS is necessary (its not) they should at least limit themselves to libre-js (they don’t).
If you want to tell us how to do our work, then you should pay us. Otherwise, the software is available as is.
I think you mis-understood my comment, I was only pointing out fsf philosophy which isn’t solely to hide “state secrets”, I have no problem using as is (since obviously, I am).
If it’s a possibility for an open source project to be a honeypot for “something”, then everything is a honeypot for “something”. At least with reddit no one can see if it’s a honeypot or not.
Same like it possible that moon landing was hoax right, easy-peasy manipulating 400k people who worked on that project…
Come back to reality, friend.
