All I want is to be able to view my upvoted and downvoted content in voyager and Alexandrite.

Auto ban sounds terrifying and definitely won’t be abused

Used to teach elementary algebra. Got very frustrated with a student who kept saying "x = infinity is a solution" for linear equations like "3x - 4 = x + 10". I couldn't show that infinity was not a solution either. Still cut up years later.

seems there’s been malware going around spread by ads on Dutch websites.

sure would be nice if the media could tell us what the #1 thing is that we can do to protect ourselves against this threat! 🙃

We all have biases, the important thing is to know (some)what what they are, so that they sway us less than they otherwise would.

I have actually changed my positions based on friendly dialogue online. But not here - it’s far too toxic to discuss any matter of importance here. Here, even when I agree with someone I often nope out of a conversation bc it is simply too draining arguing alongside someone with the tact of a brick wall.

Tbf, it became somewhat like that on Reddit too, even before the APIcalypse, so it might be an inevitable consequence of being on social media. Here, the average quality of conversation is much lower, but it is still at least possible to have a good one (or was, a couple years ago, especially on Kbin when that existed). Also, the longer your blocklist becomes, the higher the average quality rises.

So now, I suppose my time of being open to new ideas is in the past? At least as far as being online in the Fediverse / Threadiverse is concerned - though I still hold out hope for such irl.

I’m just so tired of talking with someone who will only talk AT rather than with me, and who values “free speech” immensely but cares not one tiny bit about listening or even common courtesy or decency.

But again, corporate enshittified platforms are even worse these days, so online discourse free of “alternative facts” trolls seems a thing of the past everywhere. I think it’s just a consequence of what social media does to people’s brains: medium.com/…/the-cargo-cult-of-the-ennui-engine-8….

I don’t want to get too off-topic here, so I’ll message you.

These are only being added straight after PyLova does it. And considering Rimu’s hostile history it’s clearly an attempt to try to ensure PyLova cannot gain traction with its own unique feature sets.

And the way they are being added is not compatible with PyLova’s methods. Which breaks Fediverse compatibility. If any software such as Lemmy were to implement it in the future they would most likely ensure compatibility with the larger userbase PieFed model.

This is the similar to Microsoft’s “Embrace, extend, and extinguish” philosophy to kill off the competition.

Shared blocklists - these are like feeds except instead of listing communities to join it lists people to block. To to Account -> Blocklists to find this feature. Changes by the blocklist author effect all the people who subscribe to the list, causing them to block the list members. They federate, so you can subscribe to blocklists on other instances.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I have mixed feelings about the social/community implications of shared block lists.

It's essentially social blacklisting, and while it gives people more options for controlling what they see, I'm not entirely convinced it's healthy compared to manual blocking of users and servers on an individual level.

PyLova already had this feature, does PieFeds work with it or is it breaking Fediverse compatibility?

Funny how PieFed gets multiple images in posts, and now in-line comment editing/shared blocklists after PyLova introduces it. Does PieFed have any original ideas?

Agreed about the vehemence in their beliefs.

I think it’s bad because it doesn’t allow for nuance and debate.

But it is how it is.

I have my beliefs and they ain’t gonna change, but it’s always good to read the vision of someone else.

@carnage4life I'm not sure. Musk spent about 0.05% of his estimated wealth on the midterms. I suspect if they really thought that with a little more push they'd be able to abandon democracy for generations, versus a real possibility of legislation overruling Citizens United, don't you think they'd try bit harder? Yeah they've taken off the mask but I don't think they really went all in on Trump.
