Woah, shame on me for not getting my thesaurus out for you. I’ll be more careful next time…
There’s no need to be rude and swear at me. Be polite, offer a correction. If you’re against corporations (like I am) then maybe leave their culture of antagonism at the door and help keep the Fediverse pleasant, helpful and cooperative.
You’re not doing it wrong. It’s just a bit like that at the moment.
What Peertube needs is for other Fediverse platforms to build in a filter so only posts which contain video are displayed.
Peertube posts do federate but because there are way less videos produced than text and image posts (for obvious reasons) they are drowned out. Filtering by content type seems like the obvious solution. This is how Pixelfed works (but for still images), so it’s clearly possible.
My feeling is that we’re still in the first iteration of the Fediverse, where it’s mostly trying to replace the functionality of corporate platforms. Which I think has mostly been achieved now. Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.
Of course there is also the issue of adoption and Peertube has had less publicity than Mastodon and Lemmy, so it’s understandable that there is less content. If you can, contact your favourite youtubers and ask them to start a Peertube channel. If enough of us do this it starts to become a thing :)
Pretty much like everything else corporations do then!
I don’t want to see commercial content. I also don’t want others to see it because it will pollute the culture of the Fediverse.
How do I do that? Thanks
Is it possible for an instance to send out false vote data that can’t be verified? Lemmy doesn’t seem like a plausible target for it at the moment (and i dont pretend to know how this works beyond a conceptual level) but I can imagine a bad actor at some point seeking to manipulate voting.
Really interesting to read about your experiences - thanks for sharing.
I think what we have is amazing for a bunch of nobodies with no corporate cash. We’re all volunteers, building the social media we want to have. We should be proud of it, no matter what stage it’s at.
No matter what the challenges are currently, this is what makes the Fediverse so brilliant. It flies in the face of the system which is currently ruining almost everything in the world. It’s the online social facet of the all-encompassing reclaiming of power that has to happen for us to be a healthy society on a healthy planet. Lemmy (and the rest of the Fediverse as far as I can tell) basically functions in much the same way as the corporate social media it replaces, so it comes with the same downsides e.g trolling, being addictive, potentially misleading and so on. But the fact that it’s ours to develop/change/adapt, according to our own shared values, makes it fundamentally diiferent. We’re already seeing improvements over what it’s replacing and I’m really excited to see where it leads. In the grand scheme of things the mass use of the internet is still quite new and right here is at the cutting edge of navigating how it should work for us.
Being able to do this in Lemmy and configure it would be amazing. In Piefed’s implementation does it leave ‘orphaned’ responses to the hidden comment visible or does it hide those as well?
I think something which would benefit the tone or ‘culture’ here would be to make it immediately and publicly clear that a negative interaction is unwelcome. Rather than get into a pointless debate with a troll, simply reply “This is a rude and/or low-effort comment which nobody wants here.” It might not make much difference to the troll but for anyone else who reads it it creates and reinforces expectations about behaviour. The same thing goes for positive contributions; make sure to comment letting people know when you value their contribution.
I wouldn’t mind if moderation was more heavyhanded too. If someone is rude and abusive, block them from posting on the community, regardless of the point they may be trying to make. In that respect I would like to see more moderators from the community
I’m sure technical things could be done to help too. Perhaps letting users switch off visibility for posts/comments that have received a certain proportion of downvotes for example.
They could start their own fediverse instance and ruthless ban users who have ever agreed with Jeremy Corbyn.
Peertube is ace
Looks fun!
Pourquoi?
If their community mods ban enough people, won’t they eventually no longer have the biggest communities?
I’ve heard it referred to as ‘customer culture’. It’s present everywhere but I first heard about it regarding modern attitudes towards relationships/dating. Most things in our lives have been so commodified that we assume we’re in a transaction with everyone over everything all the time. OP is benefitting from from is at stake here, which is gratitude, generosity and freedom. It’s a wonderful thing for us all to be part of.
Yay, I use the jerboa app and really like it. Good work buddy 😃
OK, apology accepted. And I do agree that commodified/appropriated speech is annoying to hear by the way.
How about a deal; you make more of an effort to be nice, and I make more of an effort to avoid corporate language?
