  • how's your week going, Beehaw

  • Really good. Crocheting quite a bit and working on my blanket. Planning on reading a bit today. I’m also getting some solid progress done on learning Java and am planning on continuing the course I’ve been following for it.

  • I wish you the best of luck on this and I truly hope you do this, but this is what the lead dev of Sublinks tried to do. That's the missing piece here. He tried making an external mod tooling system. Maybe you'll have better luck than he did. I really hope you do.

  • As well, I should highlight the project jgrim was desiring to do was an external mod tooling system for lemmy. Not something within lemmy itself.

  • It especially leads to harassment of vulnerable people. There's many aspects of moderation that is done here that if implemented in other fediverse software would become a vector for Kiwifarms level harassment.

  • The thing is, sublinks lead developer tried to work with development team of lemmy. It was like pulling teeth constantly and his experience was overall negative.

  • Do you run an instance or have you ever ran a fediverse instance before?

  • I deleted the activitypub plugin because of how wonky it is, try again and let me know if you have any issue now

  • It can be a source of harassment to not be able to anonymize actions.

  • Interesting. I might have to remove the activitypub plugin regardless then.

  • It can become a source of targeted harassment, as it has on the rest of the fediverse before.

  • I couldn't find their pronouns listed anywhere, but it was my bad to assume regardless. Fixed it, my apologies.

  • I will migrate it to sublinks as soon as I can.

  • I agree quite a bit with your second point, as someone who used to run a Minecraft server long long long ass it was quite bad.

    And yeah, I think there will be solid reasons to get users to migrate. But for the most part it wont really be needed as instances themselves will be able to convert lemmy instances to sublinks instances eventually. It wont require much effort from users unless they want to switch instances entirely.

  • Honestly coming here and starting my own instance and providing help for other instances and stuff has reignited my long lost love of computers and open source stuff. The passion for it is thankfully coming back.

  • The only thing I really have to add is on the topic of toxicity. Like you, I’m an instance admin and have a bird’s eye view of a lot of behavior patterns. I’ve recently started wondering how many people are here because they’re too toxic for regular social media rather than because they want to be here. I won’t guess an actual number, but I would say it’s not insignificant.

    That's unfortunately a big issue with alternative social media platforms and without tools to combat them it goes bad really bad. I agree completely.

  • What do you do online these days? Where do you spend the most time?

  • Reading, discord, mastodon, crocheting are my main things at this point. Lemmy occasionally.

  • PSA: You can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude

    Jump

  • For context, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to lemmy admin stuff especially in the matrix channels. There is a significant frustration and lack of confidence in the lemmy developers at this point. Even those who try to contribute to the project get eventually feeling pushed out.

  • Welcome to the hell of being a lemmy admin. There's a reason why lemmy admins are fed up with the developers.
