@shlee If you have any evidence, please provide it.

Thank you! It will be included in the next newsletter

This is not a permalink because it points to the master branch.

@shlee Loops is not federated.

@observer Could you provide a permalink to release notes? I tried 5.5.1 tag but the changelog at that point in history doesn't include any entries for 5.5.1 release:

https://gitlab.com/diasporg/poduptime/-/blob/5.5.1/CHANGELOG.md

Added to the list.
