There are no bots on Lemmy, bleep bloop.

No no no. Propaganda is inherently Russian.

NK is some sort of paradise

The bar for "paradise" is so low. Just living in a country where you don't have chronic homelessness, endless war, and rampant medical bankruptcy seems to qualify.

My instance is a pretty big one and is defederated from other major ones because of the admins on those other instances. That's tens of thousands of users I (and any other user on my instance) can't interact with because their admin said so.

They would need to filter the content being pushed to their server just like current admins have to do even if they elect not to host NSFW content. There's tools to automate the process. If it's a non issue with the way things work now then it's a non issue with what I'm proposing.

The UX here needs to drastically improve for more people to see it as an viable alternative.

[email protected]

This is exactly the shit I was talking about.

Sounds you would still have admins, just with extra steps and extra work.

There's tools to automate the process.

Oh, yeah, because automated tools to recognize illegal content work so well. (/s. For real, there are reasons why computer science experts, privacy experts and civil rights experts are pretty much united against such tools. If you want to know more, look up the resistance against EU proposals for Clients Side Scanning and such.)

Your ideas would not work in reality without open up.platforms for all the things we do not want.

Which ones? I looked through some major instances' lists of blocked instances and sh.itjust.works isn't on any.

I mean, the web UI looks clean enough for me. ‍️

For you yes, I'm also okay with it. Bit it's not great as smooth and nice as what the vast majority of people are used to

I use Sync for mobile app and Photon for a web interface. But I think most people are not okay with having to search for these options.

I believe in viewing as much propaganda as possible, because it helps you better see and understand it. No country is acting in our self-interest as a species right now. It is interesting what different people are allowed to say/not say on different apps. (My goal for this year is to learn enough Turkish to get on the Turkish web and better understand the weird cult that doesn’t get along with Erdoğan - they run lots of charter schools in the US for some reason.)

The fediverse is nice, but is never going to be mainstream. It’s not designed to be addicting, because that isn’t its purpose. Maybe it is for the best to have these small holdouts where you can have something analogous to the early internet - where saying “suicide” or “kill” or talking about sensitive topics doesn’t mean your post will never be seen. These small spaces won’t be bought and destroyed.

You would have sys admins but no admins that could do anything to users themselves. Which I had already made very clear.

The automated tools are what current admins use to clean up their servers because users keep uploading illegal content to Lemmy even with the current system. I already mentioned that.

Beehaw, Hexbear...

Here's a tool to check that:

I honestly don't think the fediverse will ever take off - and that's a good thing. If it was to get too mainstream, eventually it would need to be standardised and controllerd to accommodate the average person, which would defeat the point of the fediverse as a whole. Imagine if everyone started using Linux as their daily driver tomorrow; a lot would be fixed, but a lot of the original identity would be broken

[email protected]

Exactly that yes, it took me a while to find Photon, and I'm someone that's passionate about tech and works in tech.

Your average new user is going to give up long before that and never use the site again.

It's also confusing to pick which instance to start with (users need to be guided more)

Imagine if everyone started using Linux as their daily driver tomorrow; a lot would be fixed, but a lot of the original identity would be broken

That's like saying: "Imagine every country just got rid of monarchy became Republics"

Your instance is defederated from pretty big ones as well.

Which one is the big one? I've never heard of any so I don't know which ones are the supposed big ones. Why are you so oddly unspecific about this despite bring repeatedly asked for specifics?

About the rest: how would you make sure illegal content gets removed? These automated tools don't work well enough, evidenced by that I have seen CSAM on meme communities every now and then. How do you take care of users who repeatedly upload illegal content? If an AWS server admin needs to delete some content on reddit, they can't do that targeted enough, they'd have to wipe reddit off their servers.

Also, the main issue with being banned for nothing are powertripping mods. Mods that usually so not only moderaten one but many communities. That's completely unaddressed in your model, too. You're focusing on the wrong issues and in the process make shit harder for everyone willing to contribute. At the moment, if you get banned for allegedly wrong reasons. If you get banned from.multiple instances, the problem is you, not supposed powertripping admins. Admins are a necessity.

And to be honest, I am quite tired of your BS. I'm out.

[email protected]

In my case hexbear, beehaw, lemmygrad...

In your case lemmygrad...

Sys admins would user the tools they currently use to delete illegal content, mods would do their job and block users who post it on their communities.

Mods AND admins power tripping were an issue on Reddit, part of the move to Lemmy came from people being fed up with admins, not mods, remove one from the equation and you're left with mods that only have control over their communities which can easily be replaced, get banned by an admin here and it's your whole history you're losing.

Good thing because I'm tired of you not understanding.

About the instance choice, I believe it's easier to get used to since people use e-mail and Mastodon is already quite popular.
