Fediverse

I got this via fax machine.

Not even Myspace AOL. This is chain mail material

Sorry, maybe because I'm American, so in case our other friends are confused... Managers are below Executives in every capacity and when you 'flatten' your radial grid, they mean firing managers. They are the yessiest of the yes men in corporate america.

C-Suite = CEO, CTO, CFO, etc.

Executives = Presidents, Vice Presidents, Directors, etc.

Managers = The people who manage the workers, ie handle scheduling, duties, metrics, and having to eventually fire someone because the people above tell them to.

Workers = The people who actually know the job.

You know you can host your own instance, with your rules, and every like-minded individual can join you (either locally or exchanging federated content with your instance).

That is what I did, btw, not because of “moderation” related issues, but because I don’t want to freeload on someone’s resources.

To be honest I don’t get what your problem is. This is not criticism; I just have no idea.

And people wonder why the average person isn’t embracing the fediverse

I find being able to choose my instance based on their moderation and federation policies much less obtuse than the black-box algorithms and shadow-banning of the mainstream corporate platforms.

IMO, the average person not embracing the fediverse has much less to do with any flaws in the fediverse (these do exist, don't get me wrong) and much more to do with inertia, the network effect, and just lack of knowledge or fucks to give about privacy and open platforms.

Same as before: you have to take that into consideration only if you want. Probably you never cared at all when you signed to a new app in big corporation and just gave away all your data but now that there are options suddenly everyone cares and it's annoying.

This are important topics, it was time to take them seriously. This is precisely why federation is important - the instances and users can moderate, it's not a single organism that has absolute control over eveything.

Referencing Matrix when he says "why do my eyes hurt" just after waking from Matrix... It's the same here: we will all get use to have more freedom of choice, now it seems more complicated because we never had that freedom and never worried about a lot of topics that are important.

I'm using Summit for Lemmy. (I'm also the dev)

Hmm I just checked the lemmy.world website and I can see the entire comment chain there as well. Link: https://lemmy.world/post/24942544

And correct me if i am wrong, but banning a user just stops them from posting, but i thought it did not delete their post history without additional mod action - which i cant see in the modlog

There's an option when banning a user to also remove their content, albeit unless it's an admin action I don't think it would affect their whole post history beyond the specific community.

I'm kind of getting the sense as I look into this that it may be related to how Voyager is rendering the thread, as I'm not able to observe what's being described from the web interface. That's another catch in all this, the other apps and interfaces have their own quirks in how they handle rendering things, which itself is typically related to how they work off the base software (Lemmy in this case).
