Simple, I think it’s a great idea and so I care about it.

Yes you are very passionate if you’ve left so many comments about this, which is why I go back to my base question - why not just ignore it then if you find no use out of it?

Yes? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make now. CVs, skills, etc sound specific to this so they wouldn’t be federated. Social features like posts, replies, comments would be, as they match ActivityPub, they’re not extending the protocol or anything for it.

So I really don’t understand why you’re so upset at the app. If you don’t want the professional stuff then it’s as simple as not signing up for an account. If you don’t want any social things from them then it’s the same as any activitypub: defederate or block.

You don’t like it, I think that’s obvious, but I don’t understand the multi-comment thread where your argument seems to be “I don’t like it so it shouldn’t exist”. You don’t have to understand why other people find it useful for it to be useful to those other people.

Don’t subscribe to users from there then, and even then doesn’t sound like this would be federated?

On a separate, professional site.

That’s quite literally what this app appears to be trying to do.

Where would I put my CV and professional details, my skills and abilities? I don’t know man, I see some real value here, what’s the harm of it?

Except, I don’t want those people in my regular circles on my regular accounts, I keep work and personal separate. I’d prefer to have a separate account, just like this that’s linked to my professional life. This fills that need for me

Interesting. I fully expect it to be a bunch of Linux nerds. However, us linux nerds share job postings with others.

I have only received jobs for the last 10 years via social features. I hate it, I don’t enjoy it, but networking and people skills are the way to a good network. I started blogging and recruiters started pinging me regularly. It has a place

Has it happened? I know they’re testing on the cascades but haven’t seen anything for a full start date

Just holding up images of memes outside

Yeah Lemmy is the last place before I just go hang out in parks and be outside

Oh if they do that’s great, the main dev of piefed went on a hissy fit because other instances used AI tooling, for them to be doing the same is just perfect. Gotta love hypocrites

Yes there are private communities local only to their server

Plus a key point folks forget is that if people are worried about scraping, your instance is literally sending out all of your info to whoever wants to listen. They don’t even need to scrape, just federate as normal. Never share out info you don’t want three letter agencies listening to

What?? I’m genuinely confused, I got an email that said they were ending it, I’ll try to dig it up

Cloudflare actually stopped their service. If you come up with another let us know

Sure, but that’s not my point. Social pressures aside, there is no way for instance a to control what instance (or server, or data collector) B does with it. Unless you audit every server federated, there is no way to know if anyone is doing anything with your data.

3 letter agencies can and may even already have servers that look like ordinary fediverse servers already just happily listening and storing everything. No amount of social pressure here is going to stop that. So all users need to understand this about the fediverse, that anyone can do whatever they want with your data whenever. For privacy, go to Matrix.

Great. You show me an 10 foot fence I’ll show you an 11 foot ladder. Go ahead and audit every server that federates with you, send them a questionaire. There’s absolutely nothing stopping the next lemvotes from setting another server up, and there is nothing stopping any three letter agency from setting up their own listening server.

Of course, apologies if my comment came off as you independently are doing something crazy that we should all defederate. You absolutely are not in my book doing something outlandish.

My point only was that I don’t know why someone on piefed.social feels the need to post in lemmy.world about something that is what appears to me to be an internal instance choice.

Db0 to you directly, and for everyone reading, you have done more for the fediverse than the vast majority here and are up with the developers in my book. You have built tools for the fediverse that most will never see that keep onslaughts of abuse from hitting our servers. Personally, you have helped me with my own server helping me debug now almost three years ago. It will take much more than rimu’s personal issues with you to burn through the goodwill you’ve built up with me, and I assume the other admins.

Personally, while I am not a mod or an admin of this channel, I would argue that a personal vendetta is not relevant to the fediverse channel amd I hope these posts are both removed. I agree that they are thinly veiled attempts at trying to manipulate admins.

This is a good take, and I appreciate it.

The cold hard fact is that there are a lot of bad actors, even here on Lemmy. Most users are sheltered from it because of good mods and admins. It’s easy to shit on them, but these people sort through the absolute muck. There’s a reason we don’t have racists and gore and CP here, and it’s because they keep all of it at bay away from eyes here. I know this because I firsthand have seen some of the permanently scarring shit, and it was only a small fraction of what mods on world deal with.

Soi don’t blame moderated arching out tools that help them not see it.

However each admin and mod have to decide for themselves and their users what is best for them, and that is purely an admin level decision for their server. The fediverse is very cool that everyone can make their own rules, and I like that nuance.
