if server implementations don’t explicitly filter it, it can be done.

I guess that’s a better question: are there any ActivityPub clients that tolerate bare IPs? IIRC email also supports bare IPs, but no one is willing to take mail without a domain, so the ability is moot. I would have expected to find someone posting from an IP, but I haven’t seen it yet. I might have to try it myself.

As for having the ID tied to a specific IP, I’ve seen enough dirty migrations that I think a sizable amount of people just don’t care. It’s sad that ActivityPub chose URIs as a means of identification instead of something more location agnostic like public/private key signing.

@icedquinn It’s pretty easy on Linux. Git clone the code repo, download the model weights (you’ll need a hugging face account), set up the conda environment by following the README, and call the txt2img.py script. There’s a little more involved if you want to disable the watermark or NSFW filter, and you’ll need an Nvidia GPU with a bunch of VRAM to actually run the thing (I can barely run it with 8 GBs and that’s at half precision). I’m also pretty sure some people have made easier to setup forks, and I think someone has even made a Windows GUI program for it, too.
