I’d have to imagine it would.

If you post something to the public internet it will be indexed.

Mastodon.social admin and lead mastodon dev Eugen Rochko signed an NDA with Facebook and has since been in support of Threads’ embrace of the Fediverse and asked people to give Facebook a chance. We won’t know if he’s made some deal (monetary or otherwise) with Facebook due to aformentioned NDA.

Many instances of the fediverse are anti-Threads despite his shilling though.

Once they’ve transferred governance to some other entity, sure. That’s gonna take years though, they said so themselves. Standardizing a protocol isn’t something that can be done overnight, and that’s fully their intention with ATProto.

I’m keenly interested in the protocol, but I also question its flexibility as to the content it can be used to post and distribute. That’s something we’ll have to wait for federation to come to see people start playing with. If it becomes a standard, governed by a non-partisan body, and is flexible to a variety of content types, I see no reason to stay with ActivityPub except that the software’s already here.

It’s spying to be an admin? Maybe you should just run your own instance so people aren’t spying on you then.

Yes, it’s completely okay for Ada to defend themselves in response to defamatory claims, and is not proof of harassment nor justification to claim they’re stalking for doing so.

It’s not “stalking” and “harassing,” as you claim in the thread, for someone to defend defamatory claims that were made in public. That’s dumb. Also the fact you keep remaking this thread shows you know you’re in the wrong lmao

IDK where the lemmy admins are based out of, but many countries consider hentai depicting underage characters to be illegal; my country of Canada’s one such country.

Personally I prefer sticking with smaller instances of maybe a few hundred or a thousand users. The more evenly spread out we are across instances, the more democratized the federation is.

I have a similar issue from Lemmy wanting to block kbin.social. I’ve even considered asking to just get banned from the instance just so I don’t need to deal with their users.

Any moderation or oversight is considered “abuse”, even if it’s a result of the instance admins completely failing in their due diligence. Really, how poorly did they moderate CSAM as to necessitate their registrar stepping in???

They could even just hide it with CSS

Maybe if there were enough users, federation might resist mod abuse

This is key right here, but users need to be using a diverse set of instances. Lemmy.world needs to stop being “the default”. There shouldn’t be “a default”. Maybe for when you first sign up, but people need to be moving to self-hosted and/or niche interest instances. That’s the best way to prioritize diversity in the ecosystem.

Frankly, anyone who’s on a lemmy.whatever domain or kbin.whatever should be finding smaller, more manageable instances to move to as they discover the fediverse. This will be aided when 0.19.0 comes out in a few weeks and enables the export/import for accounts.

One thing I appreciate about how the incentives of the platform are set up is that, since there’s no global account counter of up/downvotes, there’s really no loss in migrating. As long as I can keep my communities, subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts, I’ll have lost nothing.

Yes, I’m saying this with the fact that it’s currently invite only in mind.

Mastodon still sits at king, but BlueSky, another federated platform (though currently not federation enabled) is shooting up the ranks. It might overtake Mastodon by next quarter at this rate. Then Q1 2024 they’re planning on opening up to federation and the floodgates will open.

This is a bad move that’s anti-community and user-hostile. Hopefully it also fucks over the monopoly they’ve been trying to get over communities. People need to stop defaulting to putting their communities under .world jurisdiction and use other, smaller, and more relevant instances instead.

I want:

• Federated anime lists software - BookWyrm could be repurposed for this
• Torrent trackers - private trackers might be able to work by having each user have a ratio depending on their instance, tracker instances opting in to being viewable by other instances as a whole and/or users individually
• Booru-style image boards
• a Neopets clone

For my final wish, I want a Tiktok clone. I don’t really know if this could work while maintaining any level of user privacy, as what makes Tiktok work so well is the sheer amount of personal user data they keep, from watch times to likes to reposts to shares to even knowing what videos you leave the platform on. I think a fediverse-style Tiktok clone would only be accepted if it only relied on likes and reposts for personal algorithms.

Edit: Oh, and good federated wiki software.

These were pretty reasonable takedowns. If you wanna sling garbage without repercussion, there’s always hexbear
