Sample instance & Discussion

Setup

First, ensure you have sha512sum and xxd (tinyxxd) installd.

For setup with a personal account

1. Run the binary in an empty directory. (no args or <listen ip> <listen port>)
2. Log in with root:init
3. Create an account with your root invite
4. Log back into root and delete it as specified on the login page
5. Log in with the account you created again

You can also skip the own account step if you change the root password instead of deleting the account:

1. Run the binary in an empty directory. (no args or <listen ip> <listen port>)
2. Log in with root:init
3. Change its password

Moderation

To delete an account, all of its posts, and every account that was invited by them, delete the folder of the account (e.g. ./root/tudbut). This essentially undoes their whole existence.

To disable someone's invite link, you can remove the ./invites file associated with it. To discover which to remove, check their account.txt
