There's almost always a more deserving community that could use some good content and growth!

[chandlerbung@lemmy.cafe]

.world is the most 'reddit' like of Lemmy, and that's not a compliment.

[chandlerbung@lemmy.cafe]

Is Drag your alt?

[rhoeri@lemmy.world]

You’re clearly upset. Maybe it’s best to let this rest.

[apytele@sh.itjust.works]

See nobody says this kinda thing about sh.

More in line with your comment though I wish there was a way to specifically merge a few comms into a single feed just for viewing purposes. So if you wanted to you could merge two c/memes feeds from different instances. You'd either have to take the post button away from that view or make it prompt you to select one of them from a list though.

Would also be cool to be able to export / share merger lists so if you trust someone's opinion on which subs from a topic are worth following or go well together or even just want to migrate your own list you can do that too.

even Tom Scott filmed his video about the scunthrope problem in penistone because "there's really no reason for anyone ever to go to scunthrope".

[diva@lemmy.ml]

weird, looks like you got banned for the same thing on lemmy.world, (hostility, repeatedly calling people "kids" in a derogatory way, and trivializing the ongoing genocide), but only had a post removed for similar behavior on .ml.

got any better examples?

[diva@lemmy.ml]

I mean they never even got banned from .ml, but here's a sample of other places they've been kicked out of, so this isn't really making the case for authoritarian mods tbh

[db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

why not use Qiqe as a workaround?

[cataphract@lemmy.ml]

oh wow, not sure what was said but thankfully I'm lazy and hadn't replied to that person in another post I still had up (science post I was gonna answer their incredulous questions in case they just didn't understand but I see now it's just a troll account). Looks like they got site banned but it's unfortunately the shitty way where you can't see anything they did to know what happened.

[diva@lemmy.ml]

The instance tribalism is ironic; most of the people complaining about .ml have also been banned from other communities for similar behavior (racism, misogyny, etc).

[noel_skum@sh.itjust.works]

That’s something I’ve always wondered myself - I’m not sure why the spelling mutated, but then I’m not a native speaker.

[cataphract@lemmy.ml]

.....

This would allow for the necessary centralization

The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of things that obfuscate the modlog, better to have transparency in the long run

[cataphract@lemmy.ml]

I swear I need to make a log or something at this point for when this inevitably gets brought up so I can just paste links. I frequent any community and respectfully disagree all the time. I have one moderation from when I first started and didn't "respectfully" comment (making pooh jokes, I wasn't trying to engage seriously in a discussion and back the mod action).

Let's make this easy, show me one example of what you're talking about so my mind can be changed.

[ryathal@sh.itjust.works]

It's still decentralized control, but the content becomes more searchable.

[ryathal@sh.itjust.works]

That doesn't solve the three different news communities, or the 5 dead communities that could have been one small one.

[ryathal@sh.itjust.works]

The same way it does now, maybe more open as users could be from any instance. Instance admins could still have control of communities they are the primary for.

[kitathalla@lemy.lol]

Brb, gotta cheerfully say "you're so bad!" to the ole partner and give it a whole new meaning when being flirtatious.

[ryathal@sh.itjust.works]

Setting up a new instance wouldn't be significantly different than today. The difference would be instead of asking each instance individually for what communities they have you would use a distributed ledger to contain a list of communities with their primary and secondary instances. This would create the sigle source of truth for communities. As communities still have to physically exist somewhere, the designated primary instance would have the master record for the community and you could designate secondary instances for resilience and possibly spread out pulling that information.

Moderation doesn't change significantly, primary instance admins would still be the fallback, but they could designate any user to be a moderator.

Defederation would be a little messy, but not a ton more than it is now. The primary would be the source of truth, if they don't accept writes from an instance, then those posts and comments wouldn't exist, (this is basically the same as one way federation now). If an instance wants to read from a community it's on that instance to drop anything from instances they don't federate with from the response from the primary.

As above, the primary instance is the source of truth, if a change doesn't get there. There could be an eventually consistent cache on other instances for usability.

The difficult part would be how to handle changing the primary instance, or designating the primary for a newly created instance.

[critical_thinker@lemm.ee]

Lemmy.world is just more popular than other lemmy instances. At least it's not threads.
