So if you don’t like instances that hide their blocklist, just move to an instance that doesn’t. If you don’t like an instance whose admins follow fediblock, or who block instances you want to communicate with, then move to another instance.
If you don’t like the fact that this tool was demonised, then don’t use instances ran by people who demonised it.
It’s decentralised. You can find people who share your opinions.
No, they aren’t. Eugene was concerned that was what they would be used for if implemented, but they’ve been on the fediverse for years on most platforms that aren’t mastodon, and even the research on their use on twitter shows they’re not really responsible for an increase in harassment.
Any concerns about harassment can also be covered by implementing them properly, making them opt in etc…
Unrelated to this post, but I have a question that you might be able to help me with :)
Right, but then if someone saw the post on lemmy.ml, it would link to my instance, not lemmy.ml.
But if you view the post I linked above directly on lemmy.ml, the link changed to https://lemmy.ml/c/answered@mander.xyz instead of https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/answered@mander.xyz, so that lemmy.ml users can subscribe directly to it from their own instance.
That’s what I’m trying to replicate
I’ve been doing some more exploring, and at this point in time, it seems to be Friendica specific. It has group/forum/community functionality built it, and recognises the ! notation for groups.
It’s a bit finicky from the Friendica side, as it won’t work if you haven’t already subscribed to the group via the Friendica interface, but after that, it’s pretty simple.
I’m assuming it’s also relatively recent functionality on the lemmy side, as my instance isn’t completely up to date, and I can’t post to it from Friendica, but I can post to lemmy.ml.
The UA fediland one is the ukranian one with the bots. It’s the one that this thread is talking about when they say that russian bots are trying to get a ukranian server defederated.
However, when you look at ua fediland, it has no rules against hate speech, and the admin uses homophobic slurs.
The infosec instance isn’t related to my line of discussion
I am so confused by your comment. What I’m saying is that the fediverse is currently being used by “actual human beings” and they are reshaping a status quo established by tech dudes.
That’s the disruption I’m referring to. What I’m asking you is what do you call it when the small instance admins, the indie developers, etc, reshape the environment from underneath the techbros? If you wouldn’t call that disruption, what is it? 'cause it’s not just “new and interesting”. It’s more than tat
I think that it should be a per community configurable option. If enabled, it would allow lemmy to step in to the niche that gup.pe groups currently provide, whilst still giving moderators the chance to not have poorly titled posts in the community.
And what’s really interesting is that I can see my reply from lemmy.ml and even reply to it from my home instance, but I still can’t see comment I was replying to from my home instance…
Edit - And to make it really really interesting, I can’t see any of the replies on lemmy.ml now! So maybe it’s not us…
