  • We can make our decentralised network more popular by centralising it feels like an own goal...

  • Anyone else on here a "Reddit refugee"?

  • The vast majority of folk here are ex Reddit users. I predate the great Reddit exodus, but even so, I came to lemmy after leaving Reddit, because I wanted something to scratch that itch.

  • Why Runners Have Extremely Low Heart Rates—Is It Training Or Genetics?

    Jump

  • I've always figured it had to have a genetic element.

    I was sedentary most of my life until I took up running just before I turned 40. It turns out despite not having a fitness or running background, running came easily to me, and I got fast really quickly, and my RHR dropped in to the low high 30s/low 40s. I trained hard, but comparable to other dedicated non pro athletes.

    I felt like I was getting "more bang for my buck" with training than a lot of my peers, and I figured that had to be genetic.

    Even when I stopped running over the covid years, and put on weight and lost my fitness, my RHR still stayed in the mid 40s.

    These days (just over 10 years later) I'm "BMI obese", but running around 15km a week, and my RHR is back down in the high 30s and low 40s. And there is no way that could have happened just due to my training levels.

  • They're talking about RHR. The cruise around section is referring to how much training they're doing to get that RHR.

  • What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design?

    Jump

  • No way. Transphobia is not welcome on any instance I run for example. And that isn't something that a user should be able to change for themselves. That's a scenario where you would pick a difference instance

    Jump

  • I dislike this for a similar reason, tbh. If someone gets banned, they should have to start over. Not get to instantly recreate and refederate all their content from a different instance.

    A ban on transferable ID would follow the ID.

  • Yep, that would pretty much be the ideal scenario :)

  • It's a good idea, but still not an alternative to instance level blocking.

    The downside is that if you're new to the fediverse, you have no way of knowing whose lists you should follow. So there needs to be some sort of instance/client level opt in recommendation to make it visible/useful to new users.

    Beyond that though, on an instance like blahaj, it would be largely irrelevant, because there is no scenario where I let transphobes federate to the instance, whether or not individuals have the ability to block them from a subscription list.

  • That's not a universal want. Trans people and other vulnerable, targeted minorities face a real cost in having to play whack a mole with bigots. Sure, you can block them as they appear, but by that point, you've already seen their hate. And it means every trans person has to see and block that content. After which, the bigot just comes back with a new account, and does another round.

    The blahaj instances offer aggressive, pre-emptive blocking of bigots and transphobes, at the instance level, with the goal of giving our users an experience of social media that isn't shaped by hate.

    Of course, not all trans folk want that, and some absolutely do want the power to choose for themselves who gets blocked and are willing to face the hate in order to retain that ability. But that's the other power of the fediverse, because there are instances that cater to that approach as well.

    tl;dr - Granular user control of blocking/federation is good, but it's not "better" than instance level blocking and defederation.

  • I don't make lists for anything. My life is pretty much winging it... Which does explain a lot when I type it out like that :P

  • folders is inherently a bad idea

  • A hierarchical tag structure would let you mimic a folder structure, but free you from many of its constraints
