Nice

I’m really not sure. 47k monthly active users, between 30% to 50% of them not American, and those who are are already going to vote Democrat, is it really worth the hassle?

I wouldn’t be so sure, a lot of people pointed out that the privacy argument wasn’t one as everything is accessible publicly.

Have a look, based on the discussion, you’ll probably like it: https://nostr.how/en/why-nostr

I don’t know why it wasn’t the solution people jumped on

Some people still want to be able to cut themselves from other people. If you ask Beehaw what they would think about Nostr, they would probably tell you that for them being able to defederate is a must.

Yes, I’m surprised too, I mentioned it in a previous comment, and they even mentioned crypto in another comment, seems definitely like something they should try.

If you had to give one suggestion, maybe. But still, any instance matching geographical location or a specific of your interest would be better.

Indeed, but the thing is generally, people just one want URL, and that’s it.

Latest example to date: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1fe87g5/map_of_2000_lemmy_communities/

You’ll see a comment on how to join Lemmy, in this kind of scenario I just give one link

reject federation from anyone with a lower version.

21% of the instances still run 0.19.3 as we are speaking: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/versions

Project like https://gui.fediseer.com/

The point we were discussing was not data leakage, it was the inability to defederate from a huge instance which would overflow the number of users, similar to the way people imagined what would happen if Threads federated, and Lemmy is suddenly overflown with people usually on Facebook.

It’s not a bad thing per se (anyone can make their own opinion), but not having even the option to defederate is the issue.

At the moment, admins can see the votes. Mods are going to in a future version (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4392 )

Thanks!

I just had a look at https://lemy.lol/, and they have email verification enabled, so it’s not just people finding instances without email check to spam account on there.

@iso@lemy.lol and @QuazarOmega@lemy.lol FYI

We have our own astroturfing bots, did we make it?

Nice instance name

You’re going to be okay 🙂

but bad actors can just migrate to a new one, or spin up a new hostname.

Then you defederate from it too. I just went through some instances list, some servers have been defederating Mastodon instances like crazy

The issue is that

• LW is too big
• SJW has a non neutral name
• Lemmy.ca advertised itself as Canadian
• Feddit.org has a meta community in German

There is Lemmy.zip, but they are also very light on defederation. Lemmy.dbzer0 blocks lemmygrad but still federates with hexbear

Do you have any other suggestion?

Allow NSFW content at your own risk, same for users and hosts.

I am not talking about NSFW, I’m talking about CSAM. There were a few CSAM attacks last year, some mods had to see some disturbing pictures of pedo pornography, that’s probably not something you want your average user to have to deal with.

It’s the same thing as Reddit except that there’s a bunch of centralized authorities instead of one.

Then it’s not the same. You have communities like !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com or !fediverselore@lemmy.ca used to document abuse from admins and mods, and modlogs are public, it’s a drastic change from Reddit.

Have you ever had a look at Nostr? It only has moderation at the user level, so that might be what you are looking for.

Interesting, I didn’t know about such examples of destabilization tactics from Russia, I had never heard about “Genocide Joe” before a few weeks back, here on Lemmy.

Makes more sense in that context to be over cautious about someone using the same wording.

It does help, thank you!

It’s amazing how computer nerds posting on the fucking fediverse can be so sceptical of seeing their content leave the platform they’re currently on. Like that’s not the whole goddamn point of posting here in the first place.

It was more about the unability to defederate if necessary (e.g. conspiracists or crypto bros becoming the majority users here), and the bridge not being opt-in at the beginning.
