Oh discourse federates? Thats awesome

Couldnt this be done with email reminders and single sign on?

It doesnt mean anything but its good to get these kind of practices while Lemmy is still small. It seems the.migration process has come along way since 2 years ago.

Hopefully one day we can copy and pay entire threads and comments into the new community or have 100% transfer.

They broadly arent really very techy and absolutely hate the idea of anything new. So nah they broadly hate federation and adopting any new platforms.

Especially given that the fediverse already has a culture of being actively anti racism and hate they wouldnt be able to move here without getting instantly defederated and they know this. I’m sure the leftypol commies are already here.

If you subscribe to someone on tumblr then yes. Otherwise i dont think so.

No I think even if they did that I wouldnt trust it. The protocol is 100% controlled by a profit seeking company. That means it will 100% turn into a platform that tries to monitize its users for all theyre worth. Public benefit corporation is a meme and has no actual restrictions.

I think the technical imperfections are not the real reason people are against it. In my opinion it just can’t be trusted to have a corp in control. It would be like having Microsoft own the activity pub repo.

This may be a dumb question.

Why are we wasting time and money fighting over a legal clause in a piece of free and open source software? Can someone explain why someone would need to sue mastodon? I dont understand what rights people feel they need to demand from mastodon because you always have the option to use it how you choose.

Its expensive to draft and consult lawyers even when its pro bono. It expends time from mastodon project and the lawyers and there is only a finite amount of pro bono work the lawyers are willing to give.

Fair, there is no reason not to.

Yeah this will do absolutely nothing.

A big problem with the data collection is how hidden and one sided it is. On here its out in the open, we say how it works and the data is available for anyone. On Facebook its hidden for users to speculate on what’s being collected and only Facebook and the people they sell it to have access.

Data is very useful for making cool tools that enhance user experience and it can also be dangerous. I think the fediverse is privacy conscious enough to find the right balance.

Personally i dont think we’ve found it and need to do more to preserve privacy.

I’m already paying my instance and lemmy and kinda loyal to it. I’d alsp like to properly support the software i use before trying to support content creators. One day in the future something like communick would be appealing.

The website says 20% of the profit is donated? Does that mean to charities?

What is “our data” in the case of Lemmy. Specifically.

The thing is that ads pay almost nothing. I’d be very happy to pay 4x what an ad would pay. But the problem is I can’t sent 0.12 to someone when I watch their video because 50% of that is gobbled up by transaction fees. So the only option is to bulk donate which either requires pooling money in a 3rd party or the user donating a bulk amount ($10). Users really dont like giving away $10 when it feels like they get nothing in return. Its all mental but its a very real problem. We will pay for $10 of dogshit food but not $10 for a software product we’ve used for 100s of hours.

Dam that was a great video. She’s a killer videographer

Yea

The people complaining have high expectations because they know the current tech and what its capable of being.

When I see people justifying how its actually so good I am reminded that Nintendo fans are the reason why Nintendo acts the way they do. Why would nintendo go the extra mile to make something truely next gen when they can just make a switch 1 with a current gen CPU and a cheaper display.

It would be cool if people could subscribe to an auto updating blocklist group. So if one or x amount of person blocks it applies to the entire group.

I think its good because some users really want that feature. But i think on by default for every user could encourages users to run multiple burner style accounts which is a huge problem for moderation and doesnt solve the problem users try to solve from tagging.

Example you might have me tagged as a Nazi because you dont want to interact or be subtly influenced by my less blatant comments. However if I knew everyone did this then I’d run one account for the blatant stuff and one account for blending in.

Its why I’m kind of against platform banning users instead of having individual blocks. Its better to bad actors known and operating in the open than to have them hiding and avoiding moderation.

The voyger mobile app allows you to tag users and see how many times you’ve upvoted abd downvoted them. If you have an idea you can suggest it as a feature on github. Outside of that you can only really block and report if their behaviour breaks the rules.

At the moment its up to the community at the moment to weed out those kinds of people.
