  • We made a Fediverse community on Fluxer

    Jump

  • No, they're pointing out that the server this post is about got deleted.

    The admins got annoyed by Fluxer's stability issues and announced they'd be developing their own activitypub platform instead to compete with fluxer, leading to them neglecting the Fluxer server this post is about.

    Then, both the fediverse server and the one about their alternative got deleted. At least one of the admins also deleted their Mastodon.

  • Look, you're free to keep replying, but I'm not going to further talk here. I'm just writing this last comment to clarify that, so you can stop wasting your time. I realize that you're not arguing in good faith, so this is just going to go on endlessly otherwise.

  • and you don't support resistance against genocide in practice

    What I don't agree with is that wording.

    I don't support this specific form of resistance against genocide in practice. What you wrote there most literally means I don't support resistance against genocide in practice in general, which is what I can't agree with. If we're just talking about Hamas specifically, or the shape that resistance has taken in this genocide specifically, then I agree with the statement. But the way it's written here and was written before, I can't agree with it, it's too broadly worded and easily misconstrued when taken out of context.

  • You're really not arguing in good faith, are you? Not supporting hamas doesn't mean I'm not in favor of resistance against genocide.

    But just to clear this up once more:

    • I am against genocide
    • I support resistance against genocide
    • I still hold resistance groups to certain minimal standards
    • Hamas does not fulfill my standards

    So no, I do not support Hamas. But yes, I do support Palestinian resistance in theory.

  • If that's your point, you replied to the wrong comment of mine earlier.

    When I said "I don't agree on that claim, no." I was specifically referring to the claim that I oppose resistance to genocide, period. When in reality I'm opposing the form that resistance is taking, not resistance itself. That's why I said I don't agree with the claim made.

    You don't seem to argue with that fact, you're just arguing about my actual position. Which isn't what I was denying.

  • That's not what I said that in response to. This doesn't mean I oppose resistance to genocide, this means I have expectations towards resistance groups. Not the same position. Opposing the form doesn't mean I oppose the concept.

  • The modern left-right discourse is just so confusing to me.

    I've seen authoritarians, supporters of war crimes, and support for terrorism and cruelty, all claimed as leftist positions. I can't reconcile them with what I thought left-wing values were about.

    I really think we need something with more dimensions to be popularized. The left-right system is just so loaded at this point. I personally can't identify with either side at all.

  • You're wrong, Hamas are in fact "the good guys" in this conflict.

    Let's agree to disagree there then. I wasn't planning to convince you after all.

  • What I think they meant was that people here only think about the genocide and thus declare the perpetrators evil (which they are) and the victims the good guys (hamas are not).

    One side's atrocities don't justify the other side's. Excusing your own group's actions because they're the good guys is far right thinking.

    In reality there's more factors to this than just the genocide, and both hamas and israel are the bad guys in their own way. One is just worse than the other, but that doesn't make the other good.

  • I recommend using Lemmy Federate.

    It's a tool that tries to subscribe to your community with a puppet account on various instances. This allows your community to reach those instances and for your posts to appear there.

  • Is there a way to "self-post" on Lemmy like there is on Reddit?

    Jump

  • Mbin let's you do that. Well, it lets you create microblog posts which aren't scoped to a specific community. Not ones only visible on your profile.

    The big issue there is that at that point, whether it's a Piefed/Lemmy implementation or Mbin's, you're having to deal with Mastodon's main federation problem. Which is that your post only goes out to your personal followers, otherwise it stays on your local instance. Which means you need an existing personal following if you want it to federate anywhere. The threadiverse usually has the luxury of having relays in the form of communities, but with self posts, you don't have access to that luxury.

    I think making a personal community, throwing it at lemmy-federate, and then posting it there really works best in this case. Lemmy-federate uses actors on various instances to subscribe to your community to ensure the posts get federated there.

  • Is the threadiverse abusing Likes and Dislikes?

    Jump

  • It isn't currently treated as an upvote by Lemmy, yeah. But Mbin does count boosts to the score of a post when ranking them.

    My point I was trying to make was more that I think Mbin tried to address the issue you're pointing out there. Boosts actually even used to be swapped with likes in the early days of /kbin, and upvotes are still called "favorites" even today. Boosts are also not in any way displayed as retweets on Mbin itself, so I doubt they were intended to be used that way by users. But yeah you're right on the actual implementation of how they're federated.

    When it comes to actually using them, I do stick to favorites for content I like and boost for promoting stuff I think should be seen by more people, but in most cases I 'like' what I want to promote (so I end up using both), and in the rare case where I don't, I don't really care that Lemmy isn't counting my one upvote. I don't upvote/boost my own content either despite knowing that Lemmy expects a self upvote.

  • Is the threadiverse abusing Likes and Dislikes?

    Jump

  • Isn't that why Mbin has boosting? To separate liking from increasing visibility?

    At least that's how I've been using them. Upvote to like, boost to boost.

  • YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

    Jump

  • There have been some users reporting they get ads despite being Premium users, especially in regards to Youtube's efforts to bypass adblockers (even if they weren't using one). I always assumed that's because their measures were misidentifying the lack of ads as using an ad blocker, even if that lack was due to using premium.

    Just wanted to give an actual explanation. I'm not qualified to actually confirm or deny whether those user reports were factual or made up. But people usually consider them factual because of herd mentality.

    Jump

  • Not just the premium part, but also it affecting descriptions makes me think this is some kind of bug. At least partially. There's not really any point to disabling descriptions specifically, most people don't read them anyway.

    "there's currently no way around it" "The issue goes away with a refresh"

    The way I understand it, the issue only resolves if you refresh while on the video you want to watch. Navigating to another video would unfix it again. So it's not really a real fix the way most people expect a fix to look like. They want something they can apply and then they don't have to deal with the problem anymore. Which, based on this article, only disabling your adblocker achieves.

  • YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

    Jump

  • For people who only go off headlines and comments and don't read the article, here's the important bits:

    • This only affects some users, not everyone
    • The issue is that comment sections are disabled and video descriptions claim to be empty
    • The issue goes away with a refresh, you don't need to turn off the adblocker, though you'll have to refresh every video
    • It affects all videos
    • The link to adblockers is due to everyone who is reporting the issue being a user of an adblocker, and turning it off fixing the issue permanently until it's turned on again
    • There's no specific browser or adblocker mentioned in the article
    • It affects Premium users too

    edit: added "the article" after "don't read" to clarify
