  Well put.

  I guess I also don’t really know the average users behavior, or more specifically typical fedi behavior of users who would use a matchmaking service.

  I’m just highly skeptical of compatibility quizzes, it feels like there must be a better solution.

  That sounds like they’d ban content promoting the eating of the rich, too.

  I’m all for banning fascist content, but I don’t wanna lose the French revolution vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually think observing your actual behaviour would be a better more honest way of matching.
  And technically it’s all public info so it’s not technically a privacy issue; they’d get it over activitypub the same as all fediverse platforms already do.

  But it feels wrong to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What would the matching mechanism do? Look at your fediverse activity and match people who like the same things as you?

  Could be interesting but creepy

  But it also has to be defended separately by the admin of every server that has a user subbed to that community. Seems like a large burden to put on small-mid instance admins.

  I’d be surprised if my server admin was really paying attention that closely to votes on communities I’m subbed to, right?
  I have to admit I don’t know the view that admins get of how their server intersects the fediverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how giving every server access to the votes solves that.
  The malicious server can make fake users to pump up votes. your server admin has to notice, then check the vote logs, then see what’s happening and defederate them. That’s pretty much what you described in your scenario, anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean “send fake votes”?
  Or rather, who do you think should be responsible for identifying and blocking fraudulent votes?

  And how do you reconcile votes that come from servers that you’ve defederated with? Should everyone have the same view of the post, or should people only see votes from servers that their server is federated with? What about votes from users you’ve personally blocked? Etc

  I personally kinda think that the responsibility is on the server hosting the post, and that everyone should see the same (but anonymous) vote count, of which the hosting server is the single source of truth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The server hosting the post needs it.

  It only needs to tell other servers the vote count, and the votes of people on that other server.

  I don’t know any misheard lyrics, because I refuse to believe the way I hear the lyrics isn’t correct.

  How about you clarify what you think flagship means.
  Because you seem to lose your mind every time someone says something that doesn’t mean “biggest”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol you made up an argument, pretended I said it, and got mad when I corrected you.

  You can bring a mule to the comment section, but you can’t make him read the thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t realize you had access to all the same features and cameras while closed.

  Can I get that, but without unfolding? I didn’t need it to unfold, I just want it to be small

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Close, it’s a pixel 7 pro. Practical identical from appearance.

  The 9 pro looks to be the same size as the 7a, which is still a bit bigger than I want but way more reasonable than I was expecting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They used to have a whole variety.

  Now top-end phones are all almost the same dimensions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The flagship isn’t the SMALLEST model, which is what you’re wanting

  I didn’t say the flagship should be or was the smallest phone, nor did I say I wanted the smallest phone. that’s something you imagined entirely on your own lol

  Phones in general are bigger

  It’s almost like what I’m sad that phone sizes got larger because now OEMs make their flagships uncomfortably large. Hey, someone should make a post complaining about that! 😑

  What I’m learning here is that you had an argument with yourself, and lost

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh the p9, p9p, and p9a is the same size as the p7a. Nice! Still a bit large but still a great improvement on the p7p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol everyone disagrees with you about what the conventional meaning is. It sounds a lot like you’re the one who is ignoring definitions to bitch and moan 👋

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only is that laughably not true

  But even if it was true, it wouldn’t mean anything because being a flagship phone isn’t about size, it’s about showing off your tech.

  But like I said, I don’t have to get hypothetical, because phones this big weren’t considered flagships in the past, they were considered “notes” and “tabs”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my issue is that there has been an Overton-like window shift wrt what is considered normal sized and what is considered large.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty clearly not the grievance I was complaining about, I’m pretty sure you’re intentionally missing the point so that you can be contrary

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s compare the current day top dog, Galaxy S 25 ultra, against 5 flagships from different brands in 2012, including Samsung’s own:

  Some of these had bigger phones like the Galaxy note, but these were flagships for their brands. These were the poster boy devices each brand trotted out to show off their capabilities. These were flagships.

  And this is just Android phones, I’m not even considering iPhone or windows phones.

  So get fucking wrecked. When they made phones as big as modern day flagships 15 years ago, they didn’t call them phones, they called them “notes” and “tabs”
