It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

@eff It takes a special kind of strength and compassion to pray for the men and women serving in our military. The commitment and sacrifice are certainly not something to take Lightly. Do you have a family member who is currently in the military?

some hedge funds have gotta be shorting the shit out of nvidia right now. bc they have been sitting on these stories for an awfully long time and sure seem to be market moving stories that are extremely well timed.

@Alice I see a flaw in your plan.

I think Pylova (a soft-fork of Piefed) is at the forefront of moderation tools in the threadiverse.

I think their recent addition of shareable user-subscribable block-lists is a good direction to go. I think this can be expanded to instance-level subscribable block-lists. There could be a variety of lists (CSAM, scrappers, scammers, agentics, etc.) and each instance chooses what list(s) to subscribe to or build their own for others to subscribe and contribute to. The lists would be easily fork-able so that any instance can take control of their own moderation, if they disagreed with an addition/subtraction to a list.

For some lists (like scrappers), I think automatic addition could be set up to quickly “inoculate” the rest of the threadiverse against them. Perhaps one approach could be any IP that clicks on a non-user clickable link or gets stuck(?) in Anubis could be added.

I think subscribable block-lists for instance admins could be a great way to protect the threadiverse (perhaps expanded to the fediverse as a whole or just any website in general) against any problematic actors quickly and at the first encounter (alternatively: after (x) # or % of instance admins add them to a list).

Apparently some of these lists may already exist in some form (@Christopher@lemmy.grey.fail: “I was able to implement community maintained blocklists."). So, my thought would be to make sure these lists are a standard format (if they aren’t already) that instances can auto retrieve and contribute to.

Anyone: let me know if you have any thoughts or see any issues with the idea (constructive criticism only, please).

Yeah, and here we have beanposting. Which I love.

But if it’s 100% beanposting, it’s bad. That happened to Reddit.

@_inside THIS ONES HITTING PRETTY HARD WOW

i mean, just impeachment would've been okay with me... seems a little extreme

@ai6yr in regular billions or in investor flavored prognostication token valuation dollars?

Yeaaaa, its getting pretty silly and its a lot of reporting with statements like "we haven't seen the video evidence yet but we the anon tipsters word for it"

It’s easy to dismiss what you just stated because most people know the truth. There’s plenty of blogposts and posts in general about the cultures and experiences people run up against. It’s very much an echo chamber and homogenous and defederation strengthens that- show us otherwise. I’m happy to be wrong . I’ve seen plenty of spamming of negative comments and people harassed out of the space and projects shutdown. I can assure you people aren’t shutting down projects and leaving the space because people asked them nicely

The thing with defederation is, if I’m paying the bills to keep a website running, I’m going to decide what that website hosts. And if your website is filled with people spewing shit I don’t want to host, I’m just straight up blocking your website.

At the end of the day, each fediverse website is a content mirror. I, as an administrator, have ultimate control over what content I mirror. You, as an end user, get to choose which site you’re using. That’s the deal. You choose your administrator, not control them.

I keep forgetting to convert degrees to radians, which makes for an interesting pattern sometimes.

I don't suppose there's anyone else out there running Ubuntu 26.04 that has successfully run Front Panel Designer? It crashes on my new install using both the DEB file and the ImageApp file.

It’s incredibly frustrating that FOMO apparently drives users …

Yes I think you’ve put your finger on it there. This obsession with being able to see EVERYTHING in some kind of omega feed.

Like I was showing a friend lemmy and he was like “how can I see ALL the communities [in the whole world]?” or “what if there are duplicate communities?”

He didn’t get that it’s GOOD that you don’t automatically connect to every single lemmy server, or that it’s actually fine if two servers have the “same” community. They’ll just end up being their own thing.

Gonna write my 1,000 word essay on Arnold Schwarzenegger so I only need to write his name 50 times.

@lowqualityfacts I think I will pass, thank you very much.

Yep. Zero tolerance is the only way.

@tinker I would settle for a non-snoring nap buddy who won't try to turn a mutual nap into something sexualized.
