  • Ofcom don't know what the Fediverse is.

  • They don't need to lawyer up if they have no presence in the UK. They can just send them a meme picture of a hamster.

    Lemm.ee shut down for entirely unrelated reasons.

  • It might be hard to enforce for every instance but even if only 1% of instance admins get strongly worded letters threatening fines if they don’t follow the law, I guarantee you that many more will just decide that it’s not worth the risk, they close their instances and we end up with even fewer users than before.

    Lol, Ofcom still are stuck trying to ban 4chan. You overestimate their ability.

  • Quite hard to enforce that given even with growth, it would be federated.

  • What brought you to the Fediverse?

  • I simply wanted a fresh space to build new communities on a service that better promotes the visibility of content. Reddit is busy, but it's also old and tired. Every community name is taken. All the names are used up. Some are actively maintained with enthusiasm, some are run by skeleton crews and others are mostly abandoned. Just because a site has all the people doesn't mean you can get engagement there because more people also means more competition for visibility.

    PieFedeology - Ideological Purity in PieFed

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure the vast majority of all penned in functions were present at base before Piefed had anyone specifically scrutinising the code, before the platform was more popular. That is to say that the software itself was originally more designed in a personalised way, and then many core functions were removed. Yes, someone noticed it each time - but I am not aware of anything specifically 'snuck in' here.

  • The development of Piefed has been for default settings to be removed and detached over time, not added in.

    Jump

  • There’s also the issue that piefed.social, seems to use the delete_user command instead of the ban command. My guess is that is similar to lemmy’s purge user action, probably maybe? From my browsing of the modlog that command doesn’t seem to be used by any other instance, at least not in a way that gets recorded by piefed. If the PHP command the spreadsheet said it used is accurate, it wouldn’t include any instances of delete_user, which would result in bans from piefed.social being very under-reported.

    This is mostly used for banning of new users (usually AI bots, trolls, spammers) rather than as a rule. I don't know if rimu's data detects that, but it does specifically note the average account age of a banned user from piefed.social is much younger than most other instances. But the "delete user" bans do show in the mod-logs from piefeds perspective.

  • What do people actually use to game together instead of discord. Now that the dust has settled. Any recommendations?

    Jump

  • Discord shelved these plans due to major backlash for at least 6 months, so it's stil going to be Discord.

    The other alternatives aren't up to it yet.

  • Dbzer0 itself is very pro-AI. Or at least it has a lot of pro-AI communities.

  • I have no idea about pawb.social, but it's almost certainly heavily bloated by bans for downvoting on AI communities on dbzer0 (and maybe some other communities).

    I also imagine places like lemmy.world are distorted due to them receiving the lions share of new communities, many of which end up abandoned - whereas smaller, more 'community' instances are stricter and will delete troll/spam/abandoned communities.

  • This is true, but the bulk of those instances are basically abandoned/barely active.

  • The Open Social Web Needs Section 230 to Survive

    Jump

  • Hexbear in particular literally stickies posts to their instance and thus in that sense 'recommends' it. The user replied saying that if you "If you censor or promote speech, you should be responsible for it, to the same extent."

    Jump

  • So how does that work with Threadiverse instances, many of which have openly partisan rules? Would that make instances like lemmy.blahaj and dbzer0 liable because they censor specific expressed political and social viewpoints?
