Moved to shitposter.world according to their site with the expired cert, but I haven’t seen as much on fedi from the new domain as I used to from the old one.

I see that shitposter.club is on the list. Good to know they’re using only the highest-quality training material.

Never mind China and India — there’s much more cultural diversity in the world than you’d have us imagine even within any one “western” country.

It’s not much different from western cultures

Dude, maybe take a few steps away from the computer for a little while.

Further Left than even Obama himself!? Is that even possible?

Imagine watching actual TV. Millions of people do it.

Mastodon is very bad at fetching replies, if you have a small instance I think you need to add some other software to do that: https://blog.thms.uk/fedifetcher

Well that’s an interesting development, which people seem to have begun experimenting with in the past few weeks. Of course for the time being I suppose it’s made somewhat easier for the relays by 99% of the users being hosted on the small collection of official bsky.network PDS servers.

Some more discussion of it in which there may be hints as to how atproto people might slowly progress towards reinventing some of the things we take for granted on the fediverse.

If they don’t crawl the entire network then most of the network cannot contact them at all? Which makes it … not really a network. That’s where federation would come in.

Really? I thought there were only two. How are the small ones able to afford the bandwidth to monitor everything from every PDS?

Right… it did take me a minute to remember how the relays work. Well, when there are a few hundred of them we’ll see how it goes.

Hmm, let’s see if I remember the terminology correctly:

Client apps have nothing to do with it, obviously.

Alternate appviews have nothing to do with it, except in that they’d presumably need to work with whatever form of atproto federation exists, if any did.

Alternate relays aren’t federated unless there’s some protocol for routing messages between them — such as ActivityPub.

That’s the benefit of Bluesky being totally centralized, not built with any capability for federation: When they decide to add some, they can hardly fail to see that it’s best to go with ActivityPub.

Noscript user here; we don’t generally have that problem on fedia/mbin. It’s mostly just mastodon “quote posts” and imgur that don’t show up unless you allow their servers.

It’s not as if I did an exhaustive search to sift through all the evidence, but what I found was this: https://lemm.ee/post/60365167

That is what their mod was accused of having done, albeit on reddit. If Kev believes those allegations to be unfounded, he’s done a poor job of expressing that.

Alas, not everyone on the fediverse is so friendly and welcoming towards people who “express certain political views” by using a position of power to suppress those they disagree with.

Oh shit, Jerry legit blocked it: https://fedia.io/m/fedia/t/1468012/Fedia-reporting-issues-with-specific-servers-e-g-lemmy-ml-lemmy-one-startrek-website/comment/8379246#entry-comment-8379246

It’s unfortunate IMO. I thought it was just some kind of weird mbin problems causing lemmy.ml not to federate, then I mostly forgot about it. Although that server is not without problems I’m sure, it’s a huge piece of the lemmy world to be missing and it’s a pretty small world to begin with.

Why did it get defederated?
