I was not expecting to wake up to this :(

On one hand, it makes me want to recommend Lemmy.World even more. On the other hand, if Lemmy.World ends up like this too…

It’s a really tricky situation.

It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/

I think Peertube is more of a Vimeo alternative. YouTube is built around advertising.

I think the irony here is that the user-friendliness experience of Bluesky stems from it being a centralized service (in practice). I seriously doubt most people who signed up for Bluesky even understand what “decentralized social media” means.

I’m not saying Lemmy (and the greater Fediverse) can’t improve, but it’s clear that the biggest barrier for most people is the decentralized aspect itself – the core of the Fediverse – which is something one shouldn’t really “hide”.

As long as the state of social media usership demands centralized practices, then the Fediverse will forever be at a disadvantage in gaining mass adoption in my opinion.

Mods and admins can remove posts but they do stay only if they’re “removed”. But if they’re “purged”, then they’re deleted from the server.

I did say the complaint:

The mod tools are too basic and barebones

I also gave three ideas that are (1) manually done by mods/admins, (2) manually done by users, (3) automated by mods/admins.

On a small subreddit I moderate, we have automod automatically queue posts at a certain age. If your account is less than a day old, your post is hidden for public viewing while the mods manually approve it. We had to deal with a lot of spam bots and this was a good solution for us.

I believe the way the report feature works on Lemmy is that it sends out to the mods of the community and all the admins. It doesn’t work quite well when I don’t know the rules of a community. “No memes on mondays”, is that really something I (as an admin) should be worried about? That’s not my job.

I hope this clears things up.

The mod tools are too basic and barebones. I’d appreciate if we can get:

• Post approval system for new or low-karma accounts (it can be karma for local communities)
• Reporting system with multiple options (very hard to implement in the fediverse as everyone has different rules) so that the reports are sent to the proper channels. Admins shouldn’t have to deal with community-specific rules (for example, “memes only on mondays”).
• Automoderator (these might already exist? I have not tried them.)

I don’t know if I should split this comment into three or not but they’re some general suggestions to address the complaint of basic mod tools.

Proxy is inaccurate. Server is a better term.

It isn’t. I already tried applying for both. You need NCMEC credentials which is only available for those in the US.

edit: Here’s a comment I made about it.

That also isn’t available for non-US people.

Microsoft’s PhotoDNA

My issue with these services is that they aren’t available for non-US people. db0’s project can be deployed anywhere (provided you have a capable GPU).

An LTS distro like Debian and Ubuntu doesn’t update too frequently. I’ve never tried livepatching. I install updates on the weekends and reboot only if necessary. Downtime is usually about a minute and my uptime monitors don’t usually catch it.

I still have my 150GB free account from Storj which I use for some backups so I can’t speak from a paying customer perspective. From my experience, it’s okay – never really had downtime (at least I never noticed) and I couldn’t say anything negative about it. It does have a “per segment fee” so just be aware of that.

This is configurable by the admins. We can choose between “Local” and “All” as the default listing.

I see. I’m guessing this is only for v0.5.0 alpha because I don’t see these options in the v0.4.2 release.

How long are they cached for? I still have cached images from over 2 months ago.

Cool. I’ll chime by and make a mark.

Thanks! I’d say things are very manageable financially for now.

lemmyverse.net shows the top instances based on size.

Among them are sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee.

I plan to keep running this instance for a long time. As long as there are weebs here on Lemmy, I will give them a home lol

Btw, I also had a lemmy.one account. It was my first Lemmy account too. Hope they get back up and running.
