1·2 months agoI don’t want to use swearwords. I hope I’m allowed not to in this freedom you’re telling me about.
3·2 months agoMore than obvious that they’d rather allow Ukrainians than rednecks in.
How I miss the “do one thing and do it well” attitude in commercial services. Why do they have to convert any nice product into a s.itshow? It can’t be that investors want good services to become worse…
From how you describe your context (similar to mine), you don’t seem to need to backup images. Few local images mean little impact of possible failures.
Fortunately AI is taking care of that on its own https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07566-y
Google will never rank fediverse posts high. Said otherwise, the external incentives are not there either.
There are cooperatives and I haven’t seen any of them so such spamming. The fediverse is an example of it too.
Yet you didn’t respond to the point that makes the difference:
reddit is actively encouraging this kind behaviour to inflate their user statistics and there is no incentive to tolerate this kind of spam for a fediverse server admin
The correct phrase you should use is not “forgetting”, but “under a never-ending disinformation attack.” https://xcancel.com/U24_gov_ua/status/2012985732265091278#m This is the reality of anyone having to deal with Ruzzia, and the fediverse is also under continuous pressure from botnets.
It showed up now, so I guess it was a matter of synchronisation (9 hours is a lot of time). Probably also has to do with the fact that there’s low usage, so few “pull” attempts. I’m not very clear on what are the triggers.
Anyway, your feedback is very useful and now I know that I should be able to see traces in the container logs of lemmy backend.
Well, having an illustrated web page where it is simply explained how mastodon users can use lemmy as the equivalent of facebook groups would also give us pretty good exposure. Most mastodon users don’t know the difference between mastodon and the fediverse.
Sure, these are two very different usability paradigms, but I think they are very well integrated by treating both groups and users on Lemmy as users on Mastodon. Mastodon and Lemmy are the vanilla examples, but a.gup.pe and mbin in show that the two coexist quite smoothly. It is “only” a question of how to map this onto BridgyFed.
How about bridging over to bluesky? If they could follow and comment threads, the userbase explodes 10-fold (compared to the current exposure to mastodon).
See this thread: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/372
I see lemmy as groups for mastodon. It has the same affordances as a.gup.pe did.

I’ve gone through a similar experience with two instances. Eventually they both approved. It just took them ages. Of course I needed only one.
There’s UFoI, but to my understanding that’s only helpful in cases of litigations related to federation.
I’d like to point out that in !techtakes@awful.systems they have a rule saying:
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
which they use to wolfpack onto anyone who even remotely questions their tribal consensus, even if that person is coming from sharing a post that is well aligned with them.
Lemmy is wild indeed.
The thing is that in Bulgaria current “pro-EU” politicians (think Borisov and Peevski) are so directly dependent on Putin, that anyone who is just friendly with him looks already better. I know it is a superficial observation, but this is the vote of superficial people. As a president, Radev had plenty of opportunities to substantiate his anti-corruption rethoric, and he missed them. It makes little difference whether he did it out of bad intention or inability (which is often claimed, but hard to confirm).
