  • Your explanation of federation that it "works like email" will be misunderstood

    Jump

  • Okay, but that is not how the fediverse/Lemmy works at all and I don't think Nostr works that way either. You can easily see content that you did not explicity ask for (i.e. comments/posts from any user) and I don't think Nostr is different in this aspect (though I could be wrong).

  • When I make the analogy, I just mean the fact that a Gmail account can send emails to a Yahoo account or any other email provider. In the same way, a Feddit.dk account can talk to a yiffit.net account. There is not a single company controlling email and there is not a single company controlling the fediverse. That's really all there is to the analogy.

  • I mean I don't disagree, but that's clearly not what Nostr means when they say censorship resistent, cause by that logic, Gmail and Facebook are as censorship resistent as Nostr is.

    I don't think there really is a great difference either. Censorship and moderation are just two perspectives on the same thing. One has bad connotations, the other generally good connotations.

  • I honestly think it stills explains it pretty well. Most casual users will not download a specific client and will be fine with the whole idea of an instance being tied to its user interface. It still explains pretty well that it doesn't largely matter what instance you sign up for and that any instance can talk to (mostly) any other instance, just like with email.

    So yea, I still think it's a good analogy. It's not perfect but yea, that's to be expected from an analogy.

  • The problem as I understand it is basically that user IDs in ActivityPub are intrinsically tied to the domain on which the user registered, so you can't really move a user from one domain to another.

  • Censorship-free implies that moderation is impossible. If you don't have moderation, your social media will turn into a Nazi bar.

    you can just hide messages from selected users in client

    That's not good enough. First of all, users don't want to have to block people before having a good experience. Users don't want to deal with moderation themselves, but they also don't want mean people, harassment and nazis. It's not easy to recruit moderators for online forums, not a lot of people want to deal with that stuff.

    But secondly, client-level blocking is not effective. It does not stop those bad users from continuing their bad behavior. In the case of Lemmy, it also doesn't stop their votes from still affecting your feed.

    So yes, censorship-free platforms are not good because censorship-free means moderation-free, and users don't want that.

  • Yea moderation becomes a big problem once you can't actually block people. I don't like that Nostr describes itself as censorship resistent or even censorship free, that's not a good quality.

  • This isn't really Lemmy's idea of federation, it's just ActivityPub, the underlying protocol. Having a mechanism for jumping servers is unfortunately quite complicated and it isn't clear how it should be done or if it is even possible.

    Lemmy does allow you to export and import your settings though, so you can kinda do it but you lose your history.

  • Is anyone even allowed to get over something like that and go on with their lives?

    If it was a mistake and you didn't intend to actually kill anyone, then yes I think you're allowed to move on at some point and even forgive yourself for that.

    Mistakes happen. Often it's just bad luck. There's no benefit in beating yourself up about it. What happened has happened and there's no going back. Grieving and regretting and feeling bad and such is normal and okay but I'd say 20 years is enough time to start thinking of forgiveness and moving on.

  • Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending?

  • I just didn't have the patience for that honestly. I doubt it will make a difference.

  • I actually don't like that feature cause it's not something the user chooses, it's up to the dev or admin (not sure which).

  • Why wouldn't I? It's like saying I won't drink tap water because that water was once someone's pee.

  • I assure you, there would not be a single atom of that human left in the soup.

    Let's assume dumping half the soup every day for 2000 years. That's 2000*365 = 730,000 times you're halving the soup. Assume a human that weighs 70 kg. After the 2000 years, there'd be 70 / 2^730,000 kg left. That's 0.000... insert roughly 220,000 zeros ...0009 kg. I.e. 0, for all intents and purposes. There'd be nothing from that person left in the pot.

  • Not really as far as I understand. You can talk to Mastodon users though, if they post in community threads.

  • apparently I was flagged as a bot at one point

    You don't get "flagged" as a bot, it is a user setting in your preferences. You should fix it so that you are not marked as a bot.

  • Post your setup. no matter how uggo

  • What do all you guys use these setups for?

  • I wouldn't say it's truly decentralised in its current state.

  • Embedded and sandboxed scripting languages in Rust

  • One more vote for using WASM. Using WASM has the benefit of allowing the user to use almost whatever language they want, as long as it can compile to WASM. So the user doesn't have to learn some bespoke scripting-specific language.
