I think the problem is that people use “algorithm” to mean “curated social media feed”, whereas it actually refers to a kick-ass prog-metal band

I think the hard part would be keeping it up to date as instances change
I guess the people we associate with aren’t the kind to be interested, and even if they are there’s apparently nothing worth saying about it
200 million users apparently, though I think that everyone with an Instagram account was auto-added (or something like that)
Now Meta can cash out on your data via

Everything we’re posting is public, anyone can cash in on it regardless of who you defederate.
First I’ve heard of it being unpopular, what’s unclean or unprofessional about it?
As several people have already pointed out on the other thread, we already have a well-established fediverse logo:
Feels to me that being able to link what people like/dislike to their comments and username is much more dangerous than just being able to downvote all their comments.
And I’d hope that in this new suggestion an admin would still be able to ban the user even if they only knew the anonymous/voter ID, though that’s probably an interesting question for OP.
I guess that can happen now anyway as the bad actor can just create their own instance with as many fake accounts as they like. Ultimately it’s still on other instance admins to block the dodgy ones either way.
whilst doing nothing to protect them
Well it also takes away a tool that harassers can use for their harassing of individuals, right? This does highlight the often-requested issue of Lemmy needs better/more moderation tools though.
Single developer prioritised his life over supporting an increasingly complex project, I think
For the same reason that people use newpipe or invidious instead of the youtube app or website: a better experience. The kind of people who use the official client aren’t going to be moving to be fediverse anyway!
Summit is great, and the developer seems really responsive
You can set a community to only allow moderators to post
Could use a Lemmy community I guess
No idea, what I linked is a built-in feature of Lemmy (every community has an RSS feed) but you’d have to ask OP about how their custom communities are created
Even better, you can then follow those communities as an RSS feed!
It is an interesting history of email though, it’s only the final 10% that even mentions bitcoin.
I don’t particularly understand the value of RSS readers at all
Notifications are the value for me. I don’t have to regularly check infrequently-updated sites if my RSS reader pings me whenever there’s a new post. Largely a different use-case to social media though.
Probably worth putting this in the post description so we don’t all need to ask “what’s that?”
