I think this is consistent with their content policy aims, so that’s fine. Meta will not easily ban Nazis, so I get where they’re coming from. I don’t think I personally would want to participate in this project if I was an admin though.

Outsourcing administration instead of doing it in house would be much cheaper for news orgs in the long run I’d think. Volunteer admins is one thing. Staff admins is another.

Eh, stuff like truth social doesn’t federate with anything anyway, so unfortunately this isn’t a vulnerability for them.

The walled garden social networks have a serious downside compared to fediverse networks and that’s the registration wall. If you’re primarily publishing press releases and announcements, people will be unable to effectively share through links what you’re publishing. Mastodon let’s you bypass that while still allowing for the engagement that the other platforms do. And you don’t have to play pay to win with the algorithm to get your stuff to actually show up on feeds of the people already fucking following you.

Hold on to your cloaca, godzilla.

I read this as “ero-mech” every time this sub pops on the main feed. You guys are honestly weirder than love bot makers, though. In a good way.

Edit: Or would an ero-mech be a giant powered sex assist suit since Erobots are love bots.

The microbloggers are a bit different than us, in that they actually try to create a “social circle.” Threaded discussions with random assholes like we enjoy tend to be more focused on giving us someone to reply to.

It’s always funny to me when people make posts advocating for moderation polices in a way that would straight up get them banned due to those policies.

Hippodromic oath should be first, wear your color. The hippodrome pretty much ran the politics of the empire.

The only way you could defeat donuts is by eating a similar weight in lard.

You want me to wear my swim trunks or get a bikini… Warning before your answer: only one body type has the bouyancy to pull it off.

Programming.dev sounds like an excellent instance for it.

It’s federated. Upvotes are just favorites in other platforms and they also show the user.

Two services that are very interoperable (because kbin is designed to be, specifically able to bring in microblogging content while lemmy can’t) and still have problems. Did you know boosts are what make comments appear higher on kbin while favorites work that way on Lemmy? That’s the sort of thing I’m taking about. Every implimentation of activitypub kind of makes its own rules on what tokens mean and if you want to be compatible, you have to change your service as they change theirs (which is what happened, lemmy changed and kbin hasn’t gotten around to it yet since it’s not a big priority).

Once you look into it, you realize the interoperability isn’t there like some claim. “Joining the fediverse” as a single instance means nothing. Activitypub doesn’t make everything instantly interoperable, and being able to crosspost on everything is a large (and pretty futile) undertaking.

I don’t really know what the dev’s roadmap is, but I do think that reccomendations shouldn’t even be a part of the instance beyond recommendations from your “community” or people who you follow. I think it should be a seperate service/website that imports your goodreads/bookwyrm data and algorithms it while serving ads(meaning their revenue will come from publishers/authors). It can then push recommendations over to your bookwyrm home instance with activitypub. Otherwise each instance will need the data from every other instance just to give you recommendations based on what other people like you enjoyed. It also allows the service to be easily replaced once it starts to go to shit, since there’s not a single “this is the recommendation engine”.
