It's still not great. Programming is a form of communication, and the platforms you design will reflect the kinds of messages you want to nurture and propogate. I made terms with it, electing to use lemmy in the fediverse on an instance they don't manage (theirs are lemmy.ml and lammygrad.ml), because kbin wasn't quite prime time ready yet. But if I were going to keep using Lemmy once kbin is more mature, lemmy would need to be developed with a decentralized governance committee or there would need to be a hard fork

Because everything is under control, and it's all going according to plan

Spoofing email is hilariously easy. GPG signing really needs to be made easier

git rebase -x theirs origin/main and then look at the lines your changing to see what needs to be retouched

Which have been wildly unuseful for over a decade

I'm probably going to be writing up a guide that tries to use non loaded language to describe the different flavors of lemmy for when my friend joins when Boost becomes available. But I actually really like that there's [email protected] and it's very centered, there's [email protected] and it leans left, and there's [email protected] ans its very right wing conservative. I want to make a guide because I think the downside is none of the domains clearly denote the makeup of the moderation teams beliefs without some investment into exploring the fediverse and seeing what's what.

I'm coming from the opposite approach. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me a third time? Jesus Christ, stop getting fooled. I'd prefer to defederate and monitor. If Threads turns out to be different, I'd be interested in having a trial account on an instance that federates with Threads. I have a similar feeling about if Tumblr started federating. Cautious trialing from an instance that federates.

You're reading a lot into what I'm saying stuff that I'm not saying

Okay. This is a conversation about two lemmy instances

I'm not on your instance, so I don't get a ton of say, but I would just recommend that part of the Alt-Right's playbook is getting seen by as many eyes as possible. exploding-heads is trying to find ways to game the federation system and the algorithm to determine "hot" to platform their hate and pipeline people who don't recognize the dog whistles to their side. Whether you mind or don't mind seeing the content or can or cannot block the communities and users from over there is immaterial to exploding-heads's strategy. The point is to get seen that first time.

Further, whether you agree with the above, please consider this: telling vulnerable groups to do their own moderation on an individual level is an inherently privileged stance. Part of the alt-right's strategy is cyber-bullying. I'm going to focus on the cyber-bullying in this section of this discussion, just under the assumption that people disagree with my stance that exploding-heads is trying to promote a particular political agenda. Whether you agree or disagree on that point is immaterial. There is no denying that exploding-heads users engage in a pattern of cyber-bullying against minority groups. The aim in that case is to cause mental harm to those minority groups. If there's a pattern, why not address the root cause? That root cause being that exploding-heads is not moderated or administrated to the standards other instances in the federation expect, or even to the standards laid out in their sidebar rules.

Users of the fediverse join the instances they do with particular understandings of the rules and moderation styles that administrators provide to their users in their sidebar and any documents linked from there before signing up. Here are some selected rules from lemmy.one that exploding-heads users break regularly:

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism

No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies

No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users

Do not share intentionally false or misleading information

So, please. To the administrators of lemmy.one, consider these points when you make your decision. Let your own users' voices stand out more. But if you're a lemmy.one user, please take all of this into consideration as you make your recommendation

That's not a feature. If you want to block an entire instance, you have to appeal to an admin to defederate, or you have to run your own instance and add them to your blacklist

It's actually a major, and documented, problem. Despite everyone born after 1995 being considered a digital native, more and more people don't have any technical aptitude and are wholly reliant on digital support
