  • Should programming.dev defederate from Meta if they implement ActivityPub?

    Jump

  • And people are seriously considering federating with Threads if it implements ActivityPub. Things have been so crazy recently that I think If Satan existed and started a Lemmy instance, probably there would still be people arguing in good faith for federating with him.

  • Yes, their actual argument is excellent, but this remark gives me instant /r/iamverysmart vibes

    Companies like Meta poison everything they touch. They are a deeply evil, psychopathic organization. They are responsible for causing extremely harmful runaway effects in human society that I’m not even sure are possible to fix. The very reason for Lemmy's recent popularity is that people are fed up with the "if something is free, you aren't the user, you are the product" situation and its consequences (see Reddit vs. /u/spez).

    Their intent to federate is a blatantly obvious attempt at an "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy - I'm surprised anyone seriously considers federating with them. They need users to solve the "chicken and egg" problem and joining the fediverse would be an easy way for them to populate their service with content. Their motivations are obviously and transparently malicious and self-serving. They don't care about the goals and values of the fediverse at all, all they see is an easy way to gain initial users and content. At the first moment federation will be more inconvenient than useful to them, after they sucked all the profit they could out of it, they will drop the entire thing like a hot potato, and we will be left in the dust.

    I personally like this instance very much, and I've been putting hours and hours of work into building the AUAI community since the day I joined. But I wouldn't hesitate for a second before deleting my account and never looking back if the community here decided to federate with Meta.

    EDIT: another explanation of why they want to join the fediverse

  • If I remember correctly, the properties the API returns are comment_score and post_score.

  • Lemmy does have karma, it is stored in the DB, and the API returns it. It just isn’t displayed on the UI.

  • Icon Poll Results

    Jump

  • Fair enough, I can understand the emphasis on mod autonomy after the recent Reddit events. I really like this instance and appreciate the work you and the other admins do to make this a great place.

  • Icon Poll Results

    Jump

  • First, I'd like to thank @Ategon for their work on these icons and also for running this poll to determine what people who care about the issue want.

    It's no secret that I vastly preferred the "All Unified" option - the coherent visual identity would not only help recognition across different instances, but it would also strengthen the community and the sense of belonging on this instance.

    With this in mind, I find myself somewhat puzzled by the this remark in the post:

    Community mods though have the final say in what their community icon looks like and can choose not to follow this result if they want

    While the question of icons might seem minor (maybe even trivial), allowing this would set a precedent that undermines the effectiveness of such polls in the future. Everyone who cared about the issue had the opportunity to vote for an entire week, and the "All Unified" option won by an overwhelming majority.

    If even one mod disregarded this result, it would run counter to the result of the poll, effectively making the end state undesirable for the supporters of any of the options: the icons wouldn't be "all unified", the "general unified" option wouldn't happen either because at least some language-specific communities would also have the unified icon, and obviously, "no unified style" voters would be dissatisfied too.

  • I think the incentives are a bit different here. If we can keep the threadiverse nonprofit, and contribute to the maintenance costs of the servers, it might stay a much friendlier place than Reddit.

  • Lemmy actually has a really good API. Moderation tools are pretty simple though.

  • Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?

    Jump

  • Here people actually react to what I post and write. And they react to the best possible interpretation of what I wrote, not the worst. And even if we disagree, we can still have a nice conversation.

    Does anyone have a good theory about why the threadiverse is so much friendlier? Is it only because it's smaller? Is it because of the kind of people a new platform like this attracts? Because there is no karma? Maybe something else?
