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

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

No one said they never happen ‍️

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.

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

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

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.

I personally have seen much worse overmoderation than undermoderation.

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

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

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?

[email protected]

I could see the numbers being a little different for Lemmy, but I don't expect that they're wildly different.

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?

It's a reach that something can be interpreted as it was stated?

I can retrospect. Hopefully you can too because I'm going to hold up the mirror. All of the following is your thinly veiled actions (plausible deniability anyone?).

First, thinly veiled, you likened me stating people misinterpreted my question to how people are banned typically after really going off on mods. Whether you agree or not on people misinterpreting a question, those things are miles apart. Second, you, thinly veiled again, likened me to Musk. Do I need to explain the negativity of that association? Third, you, again thinly veiled, essentially said I was covering making rapist comments by trying to have plausible deniability. Fourth, you, again thinly veiled, essentially said I was covering making rapist comments by saying I was trying to be clever about it. And the doozy, fifth. Again thinly veiled, you liken me to people talking about the third Reich. Like wow. If that Nazi connotation from Elon wasn't enough, you really pulled out a doozy there. That is a crystal clear pattern of you attacking people by likening them to other people. All thinly veiled connotations so that you can later say you didn't actually make the connection (you know, plausible deniability). Or maybe you were doing it so that if I said anything, you could say "are you interpreting differently??" like a gotcha. I could explain that one too, maybe next time.

You took every chance you could to provoke, slap, and escalate. You are no longer trying to have a conversation when try to liken someone to Nazis, you just want to slap. Don't worry I'm not provoked. I just urge you to think about that.

And inb4 misreading I'm saying this not because I'm provoked or mad, I'm saying this because your pattern is clear. You want me to reflect, and I want you to reflect.

Grabbing that for future reference. That's the stats from 2024? Is there like a link to the actual source? Significantly more US-centered then I thought, especially since one would assume the numbers were even more skewed 5-10 years ago.

Lemmy is much more weighted towards an international userbase in my experience, which can be frustrating for the American audience at times, but also has its benefits.
