They’re two different protocols built for two very different forms of communication.

Yep, need a fork of revolt that uses Matrix 2.0 as a backend and I can get my friends to switch

Then you check what quality content OP is posting and… 5 comments and this post. So they’re doing their part.

Lurkers who post this stuff bug me. Wanting a stream of content but are so nitpicky about it, when all they have to do is start posting stuff themselves to kick up conversations

Yeah I’m one of those. Not only is there A LOT of data on the fediverse that I would have to pay to host, but there is A LOT of NSFW/nsfl things too. When I come across it I defederate it. It would be a flood of things if I just blindly federated with everyone

Now that they added image proxying I feel a lot better about it, but it’s still risky since it gets piped through my server

Agreed. This is a community issue, not an instance. As an instance owner I have communities that are meme based and communities that are discussion. It’s up to the mods of those communities.

Also what is serious content? I host a Taylor Swift community and to them the content that is there is serious. To others it is not. So to define it like OP is trying to do doesn’t work at an instance level. Communities are already built up to be that way

Op if you don’t like it, switch to subscribed instead of all. Curate your own list of communities you like instead of trying to get everyone else to change All

If it’s open to public, yes. Even if they don’t have an account if they can still see the offending content then yes.

However, I bet if you use nginx you could somehow block public access and require an account. Something like if not login page and not has a token then block

Not with the FBI, but with the national center for missing and exploited children, who collate reports and work with the FBI. Cloudflare and others have services that route all images through their detection systems and will auto block and report CSAM. I didn’t want to use cloudflare, but turns out if somehow I did accidentally host it, I would be charged with hosting it. I have to report it or I’m the responsible party

I never thought I’d be a registered CSAM reporter with the feds, but then I decided to host public content via Lemmy. Turns out, while 99.9% of users are great or fine, that 0.1% are just assholes for the sake of being assholes

I agree that’s there plan, but aren’t groups already a part of the activity pub spec?

Yeah I haven’t seen any mods who are for it, granted OP is on discuss.online and I have defederated a lot of hate instances. People on beehaw, lemmy.world, and quite a few others have been if anything overly accepting than not. However, it’s why I discourage browsing all and instead curating a list of communities.

Well you definitely are breeding a welcoming culture here.

As both an instance admin and a mod of a few communities, I can already tell you those are just expectations of any community already. That’s not new, that’s already the baseline. You have to find something even better than that.

Oh, MyCoolCommunity would require me to pay because it’s on instanceA? Fuck that, hey everyone, come join MyCoolCommunity on instanceB!

I’m actually flattered that I have this… reputation on Lemmy lol.

Personally, I don’t care if celebrities come and join, even Taylor. Honestly that’s one of the reasons I’m okay with threads starting to federate, I see celebrities joining there and then we can sub from our instances. Best of both worlds imo.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal, we’ll either know they’re legit or not. Care to weigh in @[email protected] ?

One good thing IMO about threads federating, that we get the celebrities, we know they’re verified, but I don’t have to join corpo social media.

Thanks l, that all makes sense. I’ll keep an eye out

I have a manual process for admitting people, do I need to do anything if I know exactly who is on my instance, or do I need to do anything to protect my instance from other bad acting instances (beyond defederating, which I do when I notice a lot of spam). Any queries you recommend?
