afroman music intensifies

… and now it’s top of the sub for me (since I’m using a forum lol)

I thought Hexbear was on the naughty list. Now I’m learning they’re trans-inclusive, shades of grey people!

Its the prompt for the LLM to post spam to Lemmy lol

Guys, guys, y’all ragging on the guy for the AI generated slop, but nobody says the icons need be used as is.

The Lemmy guys could pay someone for real to redo one properly…

Well my job here is done.

Let me know if you need help!

Oooh what forum? :smiley:

A million and one people said they’d leave Reddit if old. got shut down. Let’s see if they come.

@[email protected] I think with public groups this is less of a concern. They’re public after all, votes included

In NodeBB votes (of the up variety) are de facto public, only downvotes are hidden.

> @[email protected] said in A more private way to distribute votes: > > So my proposal would be: votes are only sent to the author of a post. The author then sends an Update activity to their followers and the magazine the post belongs to.

My concern is that this goes against the implicit assumption that the group actor (the community/magazine/category) is the source of truth.

The group actor is the clearinghouse of data in 1b12 style federation, and it would be a departure to change votes to only be sent to the target.

Fwiw when someone upvotes on NodeBB, it gets blasted everywhere too!

I would recommend that votes continue to be sent to group actors, who then decide whether to announce it (old behaviour) or keep quiet and wait for the update before announcing (new behaviour).

It would mean vote synchronization would be less reliable however.

Also this goes directly against @[email protected]’s vote batching proposal.

@[email protected] I’m also not able to fetch it directly

https://catodon.rocks/notes/akv4dziup8bz00hy sends HTTP 401 to my local dev instance. Might be because it’s a localhost address.

It loads on from a properly hosted instance though :)

@[email protected] Was not able to resolve the post, but I don’t think it’s your fault, lemmy.world turned on CF bot protection and it’s blocking me :(

Very cool to see fresh new forums popping up! I’ve written a NodeBB-specific federation kickstart guide here that you may be interested in 🙂

@[email protected] not all instances enable them. I think Piefed can restrict them in some manners (local users only, or something), and in NodeBB you can disable them completely.

It’s not an all-or-nothing proposition, if you think downvotes are not good, run a software (or join an instance) that doesn’t have them enabled.

To my knowledge, Catodon was started by @[email protected], who for the longest time was a Firefish advocate, but was disappointed by the bait and switch pulled by those devs.

With the advent of AI, Panos is taking it upon himself to fork Firefish and build the social media experience he wanted all long.

Can’t really argue with that :smile:

I disagree. I think that you can have both.

I think big tech has proven that it cannot be trusted. Their priorities are simply not in alignment with our own. Legislation seems to be the only lever that can hope to rein them in (market forces are no longer strong enough).

At the same time, smaller networks do not have the resources to comply with government regulations to a T, and so they should be given a longer leash. Governments also do not have the resources to chase down every Tom, Dick, and Harry running a Lemmy server (well, they do, but they shouldn’t.)

Whether reality will play out this way is uncertain.

Isn’t that basically a Piefed topic?

I’m talking to you from it right now 🤨

@[email protected] yep, it’s a forum you can self host.

https://github.com/nodebb/nodebb

Or join activitypub.space (but that one is geared toward fediverse developers)

Different software can do this in a less privacy invasive way.

NodeBB has “popular” filters that show you what is generating discussion (per day, week, month, etc.)

The potential for abuse or culture clash comes when these disparate (yet related) communities are combined.

From a user perspective it may make sense to expose “related discussions” that you can browse to. Keeping the discussions separate yet linked could be a workable compromise.
