  • What's your take on the bots here?

    Jump

  • You can probably get your instance admin to ban any bot accounts that aren't being honest, which is also a step up for Reddit.

  • What sort of background are you coming from? That might help recommendations. This is a great resource for example if you're coming from a YEC background, but not so much for other backgrounds that don't deny science:

  • Beckn Protocol

    Jump

  • Doesn't really help much. Seems to be some spin on blockchain/cryptocurrency, and doesn't really do a good job of explaining the value proposition.

  • Beckn Protocol

    Jump

  • Create, enable and scale economic and digital exchange across and between diverse sectors.

    Seems cryptocurrency related. Lot of marketing fluff.

    Beckn Protocol is perhaps the least well-known project outside of tech circles, but is likely the most impactful of all work Nilekani has championed since Aadhaar

    Who and what are those?

    The github repo is slightly better, but not by much:

    Beckn is an open protocol that allows local businesses across any industry to be discovered and engaged by any beckn-enabled application. Beckn protocol helps businesses co-create solutions for the masses seamlessly, by combining services of any form or provider.

    Beckn protocol is a collection of open specifications consisting of protocol APIs, message formats, network design and reference architectures to allow any two entities to execute commercial transactions without being on the same platform.

    This server-to-server communication protocol allows any consumer facing online platform to discover and transact with any business with minimal implementation overhead. The server-to-server nature of the protocol allows rich user experiences to be built by bundling services from multiple independent platforms.

    Beckn protocol decouples the demand side digital infrastructure in the form of apps and other channels from the supply side service provisioning infrastructure. It does this by making integratedservices available not just on a single platform but potentially on any online consumer interface, (online maps, messaging, wallets, voice assistant apps and devices) that have mainstream adoption in a city.

    Beckn is a protocol, not a platform. It adopts a decentralized architecture that obviates the need for creating a centralised platform in order to integrate services from multiple providers simultaneously ensuring privacy and security by design by enabling secure, encrypted iteractions.

    The project could really use a "What problem is this trying to solve?" section. Is it aiming to replace something existing like HTTPS/Visa/etc?

  • Blazing Saddles. It killed the western genre for a long time because of how well it parodied them

    So, after using Lemmy for 1.5 Years. You are telling I am not even allowed to use Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Not really sure how that works with federation. You're not "using" lemmy.world, you're using lemm.ee, which has a copy of content from lemmy.world.

  • Multiple Lemmy Accounts?

    Jump

  • I have multiple accounts, but only really for moderation purposes. Cross-instance moderation is semi-broken, so it's easier to do it that way. Other than that, having an alt is useful in case your main instance goes down.

    I wouldn't generally worry about impersonation, if someone tries it you could contact the admin of that instance and they're generally pretty responsive.

  • What Fediverse services do you use?

    Jump

  • Pixelfed/Mastodon/etc sort of work with Lemmy, in that they can see Lemmy posts. Lemmy can see posts from them if you tag them appropriately, which rarely happens. They only sort of federate properly. And yeah, Loops is like TikTok for the Fediverse.

    I'm not saying PieFed is better than Lemmy, just saying that apart from Lemmy, your best option is probably PieFed atm.

  • What Fediverse services do you use?

    Jump

  • Mostly Lemmy via discuss.online, with a little bit of Pixelfed via social.photo and Mastodon via utter.online.

    I was using Loops pretty heavily for a while, but the most recent update made it not work right on my phone (and there's no web version), so maybe I'll try again when it's out of beta. It's also not truly federated atm, so only sort of counts.

    I've tried out a bit of PieFed and it looks really nice. Probably the best Lemmy threadiverse alternative atm. The dev does some interesting experiments like Private Voting
