  • Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety Act

  • How would that even work in another country? Wouldn’t Saudi Arabia pressure hosts for breaking blasphemy laws?

  • I’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?

  • I didn’t have to scroll that far lol

    reminder: these fascists assholes are not human. they give up all humanity when they actively choose to become or remain within this trump nazi cult. so when we say “nazis are not human” we are not dehumanizing them; they did it to themselves. these fuckwits need prison. all of them.

    Get educated on how nazis dehumanised people so that it would make violence possible later before you go around calling people nazis. For a nazi hunter you seem to know little about nazism, or pretend not to because you’re just out for revenge.

  • If you’re advocating violence against people you arbitrarily deem nazis it doesn’t make you a good guy and you’re likely breaking plenty of laws regardless of jurisdiction. I’m seeing liberals advocating violence against people voting for Trump, that’s pretty dehumanising.

  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

    Jump

  • Fediverse does everything I require out of social media. Functionality of threadiverse is mostly there and getting better (Piefed will probably replace Lemmy as the go-to eventually), apps are better. Mastodon / microblogging was always good enough for communicating with real people, it’s when you’re an influencer you run into limitations but who cares about that. Maybe there aren’t that many people that are into this and that’s okay because we’re not a corporation that needs to report quarterly growth forever.

  • I use an iPhone and a Mac but I assume Android as a more open platform has even more of those.

  • Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me

  • Redlib does that but it’s a game of cat and mouse these days. Facebook fought off web scrapers and while Reddit is much less technically competent they’ll get there too eventually.

  • Reddit makes browsing without account harder and harder. I assume the end goal is a walled unindexable garden like Facebook or Discord.

  • Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me

    Jump

  • I assume those who were interested enough could whip out a script to do that easily until Reddit disabled API which is the moment I lost interest in the platform. I don’t know how people do it these days without getting accounts suspended for automated traffic but it’s something you have to consider and probably the reasons why such tools are not available widely.

    Jump

  • Reddit won’t show you that your comment was removed by a mod and shows removed comments on user profiles (unless they had to be nuked for legal reasons). If you suspect you’re shadow banned or if your comment was quietly removed you have to check for that from a separate account in that comment thread directly.

  • Lemmy vote aggregation idea

    Jump

  • It can’t be stopped this way but this is just some friction or increasing barrier to entry to discourage it. Most people are lazy and will just drop it as not worth the effort, and the most persistent will be annoying no matter what you do.

  • Lemmy vote aggregation idea

    Jump

  • Ah, there’s even an option to turn off vote types selectively at the federation level, that’s pretty cool! This is kind of like my other pipe dream of vote weight being different based on whether it’s local or federated.

  • Lemmy vote aggregation idea

    Jump

  • I was thinking of this too but then you need to keep track of who’s allowed to vote and that’s weird thing to federate even conceptually.

    Something along similar lines is how they do it on Slashdot where users are randomly assigned limited number of points to be used for voting which makes them more precious in general. Tildes is also interesting in that regard because while there are no downvotes there, trusted users can apply labels that serve as something between a reason for downvote and a report. For example comment can be tagged as „noise” for not bringing anything to discussion which automatically ranks it below other comments but not removes it entirely. This prevents jokes being the top reply which is nice. Nothing against jokes but it depends on what kind of content you want others too see on your platform.

  • What’s important is that it’s possible if you don’t like any other instance. Maybe once Lemmy gets popular we’ll get commercial hosts offering to spin up a Lemmy instance the same way they offer WordPress.

  • Lemmy vote aggregation idea

    Jump

  • To me the idea is more important than implementation details because those can be worked out in many different ways as you’ve noticed. If you know what is the goal then you can adjust if you see things not working out as intended.

    The most basic approach would be to get positive/negative ratio and decide how much in the middle is still 0.

  • Does electoral college allow you to create a state and vote as an equal to any other state whenever you feel like?

  • Lemmy vote aggregation idea

    Jump

  • Being aware of abuse means monitoring and maintenance - more work for admins. I prefer hands off / systemic way of fixing things and this is more like anarcho-syndicalism than an electoral college. Probably similar ideas at the root of things but very different execution.

    We’re voting on posts and not heads of state here anyway. In this analogy USA would have to allow you to carve out a bit of land and present yourself as an equal to Florida. This is an intentional backdoor for people who hate this idea enough.
