I am amazed at how helpless some people…
It’s what TikTok did to a generation. It’s incredible.
Back in my day, I could even program the time on the VCR!

A new user will know because they sign in and they get access to more features of the instance, such as ability to follow, star, block, etc.
A mere visitor, can simply be pointed to the /all button. It just does not need to be the default.

Porn like stuff
Which one, exactly? A woman showing a nipple? Artistic renditions of men in classic statues? A furry? A LGBTQ person existing?
That’s how it begins. We’ve already seen how it ends.
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 5 days ago:
There is a fair point to make that it’s instances that should default to /local instead of /all - at least for uncredentialed guests. Since if you want to see more, you can just get to the next instance, and the next, and the next…, and that way we avoid reloading basically the same content and stuff on every instance you visit.
And it helps instances better moderate how they present themselves to potential sign-ups.

History has proven you wrong since as early as the Dark Ages and as recently as two weeks ago in the UK.

[…] and I don’t want it in /all.
Skill issue. That’s literally what /all is for.
Block what you don’t want, or set your starting page to subscribed and curate from there. That’s half the point of this entire place.
The other half you already did the work: notified the comms they have to set to NFW, etc.

My usual concern with force redirecting people to “where the stuff is popular” is that it promotes centralization, which is the literal opposite of why we’re here. Besides, as I’ve commented some other times, the feasibility of user participation is not transitive across instances. !soccer@sports.xyz might have a completely different rules, mood or culture than !soccer@euro.pe , or the redirect might lead to !soccer@ya.ml which is blocked in my country or otherwise made unavailable. (I am using examples here ofc but I guess this could very well hit people in and around feddit.uk, for one).
There is literally no punishment for keeping a community open so it can sometime either grow organically or die organically. Locking them however, fully prevents either option.

…It’s literally a public communication network? The point is that what you post is seen.
If you want private there’s Signal, Jabber, etc. Wholly different purposes.

If they are locked, the people who come here and see them locked will go elsewhere instead of contributing, because they literally can’t.
Some people came here to creat communities (eg.: in the wake of Reddit stuff) with the hope that it would catch on. But we can’t expect them to do all the work.

Requires Github (/Microsoft). Not good.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t a zero-knowledge hosting solution (you provide hosting, but you can’t see what’s into it past a stream of binary) help with that?
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
If you mean citizenship as being associated to the city whose hosting services you are using, yhe power or water bill pointed at your name and residence should be able to do that. Now, if you want that plus anonimity, the only practical option I can think of for a city-wide physical campaign is some sort of GPG Signature Meetup (“signature party”).
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
Zero-knowledge hosting solutions should help with that, but I’m unsure how the tech and UX has been going for that on FOSS as of yet.

It locks you to postgres. You don’t necessarily have full control over postgres unless you are using your own instance / service, but oftentimes you might need to connect to an external one. SQLite gives you a local option.
Also what do you even mean with “does it store passwords?” A password is just a
TEXTor aBLOBif you are feeling charitable and SQLite does support those since forever. If you can store “hello world” you can store a password (just… don’t do it in plaintext, but storage is different from encryption). - Comment on Self host Blorp, your personal Lemmy/PieFed frontend 3 weeks ago:

The purchaser of that domain will be able to send and receive email from your addresses.
Wait wait wait, DKIM doesn’t solve this???

What do you mean, how?
Cute anime catgirl, a staple of the internet, without having to be showy or anything. And there are hooks to change it.
(Was actually half-surprised they didn’t go with “anime!stereotypical egyptian priestess” given the context of the software, but I feel that would have ended up too thematically overloaded in the end)
- Comment on GitHub - voidauth/voidauth: An Easy to Use and Self-Host Single Sign-On Provider 🐈⬛🔒 4 weeks ago:
It does mean a form of provider lock-in, which is or can be its own issue. Also, while PostgreSQL is one of the best database engines out there among the FOSS stuff, it is verifiably and vastly overblown for stuff like “store a name and a email”, and I at least am not aware of any sort of “Postgres Lite” engines else I’d be using them at work.

Positives: nice uwu art.
Negatives: requires javascript, intrinsically ableist.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 4 weeks ago:
Firefox forks are real. They are also on mobile.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 4 weeks ago:
Cold take: we need to stop chasing web Standards that are purposefully set up by big corpo to be exlusionary.
What we need, what Firefox could hope to be, is a browser developed for a new old internet paradigm. Maybe Gopher, or Gemini (the good one). Alternatively a purposefully reduced HTML+CSS, no JS.
Trim down the fat so that it is actually possible to finance the development of a web engine an browser without leeching on a dick corpo (and sabotagong open internet in the process).
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 4 weeks ago:
Question. Does it have uBO or an equivalent yet?
Without it, it’ll simply not be internet-ready.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 4 weeks ago:
The forks are Firefox with their own leadership. I have had pretty good experience with Librewolf.

So, help break the circle. You can target any of the nodes you mentioned.
- develop for the platform even if it has no issues (file it as “future-proofing”, “engineering concept”, whatever).
- use the platform while waiting for apps to come up, provide feedback on what apps are needed (and provide feedback on what can be done app-less, which is even more important).
- provide resources for develpopment (this one is somewhat more restricted).
None of the technologies that are abusing the network effect today started with a full charter of users.

That’s true of anything in technology (that is not designed to last; see: typewritrs and radio still work), so not really a variable. By that poiont you’ll either have a dedicated “updated” phone for current-gen slop, or have shifted over to a more private stack, or even have gone fully off-grid.

So, what I’m reading is, if your “users” are bad (or bots), just get better users.
