  • What’s your opinion on tags.pub?

    Jump

  • It's quite easy to flip this around: forcing topical discussion through groups are just a workaround for lack of proper discovery and aggregated search...

    To give you one simple example: I get a lot more useful and meaningful interactions from following #emacs on mastodon than by waiting for people to find out and post to !emacs@programming.dev. Same thing for #nfl and !nfl@nfl.community or !nfl@a.gup.pe, etc.

  • With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready?

    Jump

  • Reddit already requires it in the UK

    Yes, and do we have any numbers about UK usage before/after the changes? Do we have any idea of how many people there:

    • looked for an alternative?
    • looked for an alternative and were not satisfied?
    • looked for an alternative and migrated successfully?

    And for those that were not satisfied, what was failing to them? Was the Fediverse so bad that they rather go back to Reddit, or did they just quit social media altogether?

    The UK started asking for age verification ~5 months ago. That should give us more than enough data to take a look at this objectively.

  • Is there any new development around this or are you just speculating? All I've seen so far is discussions about age verification for the UK, and most of the conversation was more about finding workarounds than leaving.

    What needs to still improve?

    The community here is what needs to improve the most. The majority here is hostile to new users and too prone to demand purity tests from everyone who is just thinking about leaving Reddit.

  • including a brand-new API (version 2). This means your v2 pod will not be able to federate with v1 pods. 🚨

    Wait, why?! What is they are doing that is so difficult to achieve with standard ActivityPub?

  • There is a client called phanpy which (I believe) provides custom recommendation algorithms, but I never tried it myself. Those who use swear by it.

  • FYI: I am not going to say that I have all the pieces in place, but I will say that if we put what I''ve done on https://fediverser.io/ with my headless ActivityPub Server, we are like 90% of the way there. The hard part now, believe it or not, is to get other servers to implement the missing parts of AP instead of the selective implementation they have.

  • Why did Linus Torvalds then disassociated

    Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

    You are failing at this most basic test of logic, this is why I don't want to get dragged down into a pointless discussion with you. Enjoy the block, and have a good rest of the weekend.

  • installing lemmy means supporting an authoritarian

    Non sequitur. The software is free to use, free to redistribute and does not come with any obligation to support the ideologies of the developers. If that was the case, everyone using Linux desktops should be associated with Richard Stallman (author of the GNU project), which is on record defending Epstein by arguing that minors can consent to sexual relationships in exchange with money.

  • dessalines power tripped his own software.

    AFAIK, he does not have any power over the other instances and communities that are not hosted over on lemmy.ml?

    Uhhhh, are you aware how federated networks initialize?

    Not interested in being baited into a pointless discussion today, sorry.

  • This was one of my stretch goals for https://fediverser.io/, and I would definitely be interested in helping with this. Basically, the end goal would be to create ActivityPub actors that are based on the DID to completely decouple their identity from the ActivityPub server that is serving their inbox and outbox.

  • Any community that talks about moderation issues. Preferably one that is closer to the users of lemmy.ml.

    This is not the place for this. It achieves nothing and gives newcomers the impression that this type of petty drama is an integral part of the Fediverse.

  • In the most practical cases, yes. But in theory, there is nothing about the protocol that says that message addressing implies message visibility, or even access control.

    Also, be careful of taking your assumptions and treating them as universal truths. One day somebody could build an IRC-like system on ActivityPub and decides to treat a "ChatMessage" object as public objects which may or may not be addressed at a single participant. There would be no "bug" if the server picks up the object, relays to others, or even indexes it and makes it searchable.

  • I wasn't talking about the specifics of Lemmy, but ActivityPub in general. You can not guarantee that just because a message has been addressed to a single actor that only that actor will see it.

  • Yes, but if you want a real one-to-one, private chat system use Matrix or XMPP. Treat anything you write on Lemmy as public information.

  • The fact that a message is addressed to a single person does not mean that it's only sent to that person. In theory, anyone following you will receive a notification about the message.

  • This is how federation was sold to me

    But did you pay anything for it?

  • Are users data protected on the fediverse?

    Jump

  • "it works when everyone behaves well" is not the same as being protected.

    It doesn't even take a malicious actor: I am working on a local-first browser extension that is very aggressive about caching content in the database. There is no "please delete this data" for an extension. You of all people should not be making claims about privacy that you know you can not guarantee.
