Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

How can you even make that assessment when half her outfit is obscured? This is so pathetic dude.

I remember somebody tried to talk to me recently about the economics of the third Reich without talking about the war. At some point you’re just ignoring what’s in front of you to the point where it’s dishonest.

You’re having a very real principal Skinner moment here. A lot of people are telling you the issue, yet you are hell bent on Hiding behind intention. Unfortunately intention is not enough. Especially when you double down in the face of valid critiques.

I know you don’t want advice from me but I’m going to give it anyway: take a beat, step away from this conversation, then come back and think about why people may have had a negative reaction to what you said. There is an important lesson here you can pick up if you want to.

Moderately certain this is already happening, as evidenced by loops showing up so often in my "all" tab. If I understand correctly (and for the love of all that is good, someone please correct me if I'm wrong), Loops is "hosted" via pixelfed.

Any good Android apps?

[imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works]

TbF I've seen plenty of wildly inappropriate bans on Lemmy too.

The open display of oligarchy at the inauguration has a bunch of people suddenly turned off of corporate social media sites in general. It's a meme, basically, but one that could have a positive effect. I'm happier about this than the people flocking to BlueSky.

Only enough people need to stay to make it a viable alternative for many. And even if it’s just the first step in migration away from Twitter/Meta then that’s still at least a step taken.

Less than half, that actually surprises me. I honestly assume most people I meet online are Yanks.

[torfdot0@lemmy.world]

I mean people like mastodon and it’s full of the same takes. But on mastodon if you post a pro capitalist post to your timeline, people just ignore. Unlike on Lemmy where you have to post it on a post that’s likely to garner a response

[torfdot0@lemmy.world]

I think you are just seeing people repost loops to Lemmy as Loops isn’t federated yet

[torfdot0@lemmy.world]

At the very least though, at least the algorithms are open source so we know exactly how hot, rising, and scaled are sorted in Lemmy at least and so people who want those algorithms can choose if they wish and those who don’t want them don’t have to have them.

We should train people to mindfully find content. Content discovery algorithms just encourage shitposting. Just put the top posts by favorites or boosts or whatever they are called on Pixelfed in a special trending feed and then just sort your follows by chronological and local by chronological. But as long as their is options, I won’t complain.

I use a bridge to matrix for private messages to the bot accounts, reports for posts for which there are multiple bot accounts on different instances because federation is broken for reports, and new posts to the communities (where the last one was merged just few hours ago). We are also contemplating getting ourselves the functionality to automatically message users when we take action on their post/comment.

It's crazy how far we have to go to make moderating stuff easier/more pleasant to do. I hope lemmy improves in that by a lot at some point.

My another gripe is no ability to detect image reposts because in image heavy communities they're very common and remembering what was posted and when is a massive pita. That would fall under a bot category and not integrated feature (but would be cool if it was deeply integrated into lemmy so situations where it would tell you if it's a repost BEFORE you even post it could be possible) but it's still something that makes it harder to moderate. Same goes for posting to other communities because you need to check if it was posted recently or not if you aren't chronically online to know that already.

[btaf45@lemmy.world]

I personally have seen much worse overmoderation than undermoderation.

[btaf45@lemmy.world]

I literally had never even heard of Misskey and Peertube lol. I have a hard time thinking too mostly unknowns are bigger than Lemmy.

[alekwithak@lemmy.world]

Thanks to Fedilab, I can't tell the difference!

[someguy3@lemmy.world]

If someone can't see what the literal words say then... there are bigger problems. Which may actually explain things.

It's odd that you think I raged. I observed.

Oh, is loops going to be run as a totally separate service?

I'm not well educated on their project (nor on activity pub beyond a surface level understanding), but it was my understanding that is was going to be run as a sub-service of pixelfed. Don't suppose you can point to any resources on that topic?
