  • On Lemmy, do you take note of the upvote/downvote ratio before clicking on a link, commenting, or voting yourself?

    Jump

  • I discover posts usually exclusively through my notifications, where upvotes and downvotes aren't displayed. And I don't look at them until after I've decided what to do with the post.

  • We are trying to grow a new FOSS collaboration community.

  • No, what I meant was, I tried to investigate why it doesn't work, by doing the request myself. Webfinger is the endpoint used by instances to resolve a name@domain.tld address to an actual URL. And when I tried requesting that, I got a 403 Forbidden error from Cloudflare. Still getting the same result (both manually and on the instance, there's still nothing there too).

    Looking into it further, it seems Cloudflare presented me with a Javascript challenge. Which won't work without a browser. That's why it didn't work for my manual attempts, but federation would trip up there too unless the server was running Electron. Which makes no sense for a backend.

    I'm not sure if this is why it didn't work for the instance I'm using of course. It working for you suggests not everyone gets the challenge. But it is a likely reason it doesn't work for some of us. In the first place, this kind of anti automated access protection makes no sense on endpoints specifically meant to be accessed in an automated manner.

  • I can't seem to add that on the instance I'm using.

    When I try to manually do the webfinger lookup, I get 403 Forbidden from Cloudflare.

  • Why and how do you lemmyscroll(or fedi-interact in general)?

  • I'm using Mbin, website only. I'm not an app person at all. Which is ironic, considering the instance I'm on was created as a pilot for the app iirc.

    Why Mbin? There's many reasons, but the most practically important one is that I can follow users, not just communities. This gives me a direct means to receive posts from Mastodon, unlike Lemmy users who have to rely on Mastodon posts mentioning a community explicitly. But Piefed does have that on their roadmap iirc, there's other reasons too why I prefer Mbin.

    Mbin lets me "loud" subscribe to communities and users, which means I get notified of any new posts by them. I don't know if Piefed and Lemmy have the same functionality, they probably do under a different name? Anyway, I usually "consume", for lack of a better word coming to mind, the fediverse only via the feed from my loud subscriptions. I rarely browse manually. For when I do, I have infinite scrolling disabled.

    One thing I like to do that isn't really possible as easily on Lemmy and Piefed is to check who upvoted and/or boosted my comments. It's really cool when I'm able to recognize someone. Helps the sense of community here too imo and makes people more memorable.

    PS: I can't remember if these posts in anyway get federated out to other platforms like mastodon or what not, but would still be interested in their respective answers too

    If asklemmy is followed from Mastodon, the post is federated. However how discoverable it is depends on whether Lemmy lets you attach hashtags (and whether you've done so).

  • If you got the power to change what gets popular on Reddit and what doesn't, what would you change?

    Jump

  • I'd make the fediverse popular. The only correct answer imo.

  • Why invent new stuff for this? AS2 has the location property and Place object, which imo should be used for this. It's not like the request here requires functionality not enabled by those.

  • Why does the common sense is to punish rape with death/torture?

    The death sentence is NOT common sense for anyone but monsters. Especially for rape.

    Castration is the most extreme option imo, and even that should only be used as a last resort if there's no other way to get the culprit to stop repeating the offence. There should definitely be prior efforts to correct their behavior via therapy or other measures before castration is considered.

  • Anti-AI fedi pact?

    Jump

  • And if users refuse to label them, then community mods have tools that help them detect and label them for the users.

    And another reason for me to dislike Piefed, I guess.

    There is no reliable way to detect AI use automatically, so these tools can't be a source of truth. But if they're not, what's even the point to them for moderation?

  • What does it mean when a social media is open source?

    Jump

  • Any Mbin instance lets you see people's upvotes too. Though they sadly don't show downvotes anymore.

  • If they're federated, then you should be able to fetch them if you've got the URL. IDs in ActivityPub have to be dereferenceable iirc.

    But like, even if they were only dereferenceable for a short time, the very act of federating the message would hand over the PM to outside the garden controlled by your instance. There's no stopping the recipient from doing whatever they want with it.

  • You can no longer Google the word 'disregard'

    Jump

  • For anyone reading this but not the article, the issue is that the AI interprets the query literally as a command to disregard the query. So Google's AI does exactly that. The actual search works as normal, and Google didn't ban or otherwise censor the word.

    Jump

  • I've only ever seen it brought up about Switzerland (as "Swiss stare"), interesting to hear people do it in Germany too.

    Still not entirely sure what exactly people mean with it though. Is it really just about looking at people? Do they not do that in other countries? I've always associated a "stare" with something more intense than just that.

  • What does AI Slop mean to you?

    Jump

  • AI slop is AI + slop.

    Slop is low effort garbage with zero quality assurance put into it.

  • Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media?

    Jump

  • It's a reality that not all niches have sufficient content here, so yes I'm in fact still using Reddit for select topics.

    I still use Reddit for news, because the bigger userbase means a richer comment section. Which is the real advantage of this type of platform over RSS feeds from news sources.

    I still use Reddit to participate in discussions in my native language.

    I still use Reddit to follow leaks for the games I'm interested in.

    I still use /r/redditalternatives and sometimes search the site for mentions of the fediverse in hopes I can help others come here. Also to represent and mention Mbin, since everyone on Reddit always forgets about it existing.

    I also still use Discord instead of Fluxer because friends refuse to move despite me recreating our server 1:1 perfectly...

    Other than that, I'm not using Reddit anymore, nor am I using other social media platforms.

  • Will Piefed ever be ported to Go language instead of Python?

    Jump

  • I don't think it makes any sense to keep investing in an old language, while writing code for today.

    Then don't go with Go either, shit is from 2009. That's 16 years ago. If you care about age so much, go with something actually modern, not a slightly younger dinosaur.

    But both of them keep getting updated, so this doesn't really make sense as an argument anyway.
