  • Just ask someone from there on day one. They can obviously tell and i think this is the best strategy. I bet it's safe like in most parts of middle and northern europe.

  • Sure. I'm always kinda uncertain why people ask for libre software and then not want it for the same things i like about it. If you want something plug and play and decentralization isn't important to you: Maybe you don't need an alternative and Discord is the right thing for you. Otherwise it's not the software (architecture), you just want to go to an existing instance and let someone else do the self-hosting for you.

  • Fast growth is always messy. Time will tell. Other than that we of couse need to do the right things now and steer into a healthy direction. But don't expect this to happen without major hiccups. It'll settle down eventually.

  • fediverse but not selfhosted? i'm not sure. that might almost be opposing requirements.

  • Ähm, man trifft überall Deutsche. Die lungern überall herum. Im RL in anderen Ländern auch. Trifft man natürlich im Urlaub im hinterletzten Kuhdorf auf einem anderen Kontinent ein paar Menschen mit ordentlichem fränkischen Akzent, die schon drei Tage länger dort sind. Auf den großen Internetplatformen fühlt sich das genauso an. Aber ich zumindest habe dieses Gefühl nicht nur bei nerdigen Themen.

    In der FOSS-Szene lese ich regelmäßig auch noch Französisch, und ich bin auf Peertube zumindest auf sehr viel Content in ganz vielen Sprachen gestoßen. Da z.B. auch Spanisch aus Südamerika etc. Gerade bei nicht-kommerziellen Plattformen sind die 'Algorithmen' auch oft nicht so poliert (oder überhaupt vorhanden) und schließen einen deshalb nicht so in der gleichdenkenden und in der gleichen Sprache sprechenden Blase ein. Leider spreche ich nicht besonders viele Sprachen. Neben Peertube was ich ziemlich multilingual finde, gibt/gab es auf Mastodon-kompatiblen Servern auch eine größere japanische Community.

    Ich denke deutsch sprechende Menschen sind nicht wirklich überrepräsentiert. Davon gibt es nicht soo wenige und die Überlappung mit amerikanischen Plattformen, Themen und kulturellen Dingen sind groß. Den Rest bildet man sich wahrscheinlich ein. Allerdings sind z.B. Menschen aus Indien und China definitiv unterrepräsentiert. Entweder liegt das daran, dass viele Leute (in anderen Ländern) auch andere Probleme haben als viel im Internet herumzuhängen... Oder sie sind aus welchen Gründen auch immer auf anderen Plattformen unterwegs und damit zumindest für mich unsichtbar.

  • Interesting. Did they publish the model or dataset?

  • thank you for using a decent platform. i doubt more than 20 people will migrate from reddit... but it make the world a better place, anyways.

  • ... writing this on a platform that is probably completely unavailable in some of the mentioned countries.

    edit: seems lemmy is accessible frim china?!

  • idk. maybe there is a technical solution for spam? i've been annoyed about the amount of spam comments on peertube. maybe there is a solution that'd work for several federated platforms.

  • thanks. will have a look at this.

  • louis rossman made a video a few days ago on why/if privacy matters. talking about smartphones: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BQKDL9VUzfs

    but the argument 'normal people don't need privacy' is very old/common and has been debunked many times.

  • Classified advertising aka ebay / craigslist

  • problem is, most platforms are more open-core than proper open source. i'd like to know which platforms won't try to push me into buying premium plugins and yet offer decent functionality.

  • yes. however, you can still log in and then it won't do this.

  • is it free software?

  • so everything boils down to context, purpose and intent. saying that to skinheads is meant to offend. calling trump names infront of his supporters is meant to offend.

    i'd say critique and harassment are two totally different things. a statement can be one of that, both or neither.

    i'm happy with the wikipedia definition of harassment. It's harassment if the only purpose is to annoy. Regardless of the statement made. You could say something and it's okay or call someone every night at 3am and tell the same sentence, then hang up... and it's harassment. It's not really directly related to the sentence.

    The fine line between something that's annoying but valid critizism and something that's not is probaby whether it fits another objective purpose apart from annoying someone.

  • I'm not sure with determining intent. Say i citizise my spouse for their baking skills in front of a whole audience. Or i do the same thing in private. That says something about what i'm trying to achieve. (I'd probably also go a bit into details to make that somewhat a productive thing.) And most talking behind so.'s back. Or doing such things repeatedly. I believe in real-world scenarios you can tell intent or mallace more often than not.

    "Hitler was a bad guy" is probably a factual statement, and a true one. He's the definition of "a bad guy". That'd rule out defamation. And who would be harassed? Hitler? He's dead.

    Regarding your other example, i don't think you can say something and that somehow implicitly says something about the supporters or opponents. That's not included in that statement. You could say' ....., so all supporters must be evil people.' But that would leave me with the question 'And why should that be the case?' instead of 'Who might be harassed here?'.

  • You could differentiate between criticizing a person or an idea. Also if it's directed to demean or humilate someone, it's probably harassment?

    There are articles on Wikipedia defining harassment, critique and logical fallacies.
