  Can you imagine being the hamster?

  Like you think you got some food or something for your nest, and you being it back, and suddenly this magic force attaches you to the cage.
  I wonder if the hamster knew it the force came from the magnet, or if it thought some unfathomable invisible being just reached out and stuck it there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hamster⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t there whole studies on how they’ll do exactly that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comments from multiple posts on the same page⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only see one title and one post body; what happens if 3 people share the same link but with 3 different titles and description bodies?

  Do they get merged, does one get arbitrarily selected? Or does this only work on posts with identical link+title+body?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kemchup⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo we should go a step up from that:

  Communities should define their own categories, and identify certain categories as CW.
  Then clients could opt to auto-hide/blur those categories, and provide per-category overrides.

  Last time I tried to post something, using voyager, I didn’t even see the option to flag as NSFW, idk if it’s community specific or if this client simply doesn’t support it.

  I was expecting to see another Loss meme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kemchup⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo this is a failing of Lemmy itself. There needs to be a way to tag content under certain (community-specific?) categories, without needing to put a bunch of shit in the title.

  1. This was a silly joke

  3. Imo providing high density housing is less evil than leaching off people to fund your retirement, building for building.

  Iirc backs already don’t typically have a lot of cash on hand, if you’re looking to get a bunch of cash you need to give them warning so they can bring it in special order.

  But I admit I’m no expert so I may have been mislead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.
