Who cares if they want to install xyz software [in their home directory]? Chances are it'll be a free boost for performance and/or morale.

This /really/ depends on your threat model. "xyz software in their home directory" could easily be "exfil tool that uploads all data employee X has access too, disguised as a meme template generator"

@LookThere Something I use for mastodon is fediact - which basically simulates being "logged in" on remote mastodon instances. It looks like the maintainer doesn't really have time for it, but it'd be nice to have something like this for lemmy/kbin as well - that way you could upvote/downvote/reply/etc. without having to paste into the search bar each time...

But also yeah - if federation is lagging behind due to server overload, the UI clunk isn't the issue - you can't reply to a post the server doesn't know exists.
