- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 4 days ago:
That’s just a bandaid on capitalism’s issues. Urging people not to support the biggest actor will never work in the grand scheme of things, when said actor provides their best immediate interests.
- Comment on Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome? 1 week ago:
Isn’t it enough to have a single offsite backup?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I wish algorithms were opt-in, transparent, and allowed choice (whether by choosing an algorithm over another, or customizing parameters).
If this were the case, I’d have no issue with algos.

Can you give examples please?

The biggest weakness of using activityPub is it is harder to control compared to rolling out your own variant.
- Comment on How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves? 2 months ago:
It’s as much or as little as you want to. If you don’t want to change anything, you can use something like debian and only maintain once every 5 years (and you could even skip that).
I personally spend a little more, by choice, because I use gentoo. But if I’m busy, I can avoid maintenance by only running routine updates every couple of weeks or so.
- Comment on Funkwhale - A platform for all your audio 2 months ago:
I know it’s not the intention, but can you use this to host copyrighted music?
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Feed Algorithms aren’t inherently wrong imo. The problem with typical feed algorithms is two things:
- no user choice or control: the user cannot opt out of the algorithm, and cannot customize the algorithm
- lack of transparency: there’s little to no visibility how exactly the algorithm operates.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 2 months ago:
This certainly helps, but I think is not enough. If I go to the “All” feed, I get everything indiscriminately. I wish there was some in between mechanism. I don’t claim to have the answer.
This doesn’t address searchability also.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Searchability is bad.
Growing a new community is hard. I wish people used lemmyverse more often.
Having a fully customizable feed algorithm would be a killer feature.

Amazing list. I would maybe add nostr and scuttlebutt

Doesn’t gitea have something like that already (or is working on it)? Or is that different?

- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 3 months ago:
You make valid points. Apologies for the Reddit accusation.
But the one thing that comes to mind is that this kind of Communist, like in lemmy.ml, is not big enough to cause this sway.
Sure, the instance is massive, but most users don’t hold those same beliefs. Most people go to it as the “default” instance. So I really don’t think they have the numbers to cause this issue.

No worries. I never expected you to have the proof anyways, but I wanted readers to be aware that you don’t.

So we wanna defederate to steer votes in a certain way? Worrying so much about votes is such redditor behavior.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 3 months ago:
The denial of having seen it yourself, is something I don’t believe.
If it’s so rampant that you find it unbelievable I haven’t seen it, then it must be very easy to prove. Can you please provide a proof?
but they (tankies) control the instance…
It’s their instance. That’s not proper grounds for defederation in my opinion, when the damage is contained within their instance.

I would indeed say:
- yep, definitely don’t join it
- neonazi white supremacist is not the same as Communist

What have they done to prevent a cooperative, volunteer driven dev community?
My experience contributing to lemmy was not bad, albeit it was pretty small thing.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 3 months ago:
I would like to see proof of how a community doing its own thing of sharing their radical views on their instance is damaging.
I haven’t seen any rampant behavior of lemmy.ml users going to other instances and dogpiling certain posts or comment section. That may be defederation worthy.

Ban heaviness is unfortunately rampant in a lot of communities. It inhibits healthy discussion.
- Comment on Review platforms for video games, movies, etc. that are non-centralized or at least open source and community driven? 3 months ago:
I do like open source games, but that’s a very different and unrelated thing to this. Whether the reviewed game is open source does not matter too much from the review perspective.

This sire talks like there are alternatives, and there’s one mentioned there. Are there other services that do this?
- Comment on Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers? 3 months ago:
Mkdocs fits your criteria imo. But if you want something more customizable, you could use the astro.build docs template
- Comment on Backblaze B2 vs other storage providers to store legally ripped media 3 months ago:
I could be wrong, but I remember reading some companies using AI to analyze your data traffic. Even when encrypted, they may be able to tell that it must be video streaming of some sort. Many providers ban video streaming altogether, legal or not.
- Comment on Linux distro for selfhosting server 3 months ago:
For your use case, debian. Ubuntu is based on it, it’s stable, it’ll feel like home.
I personally use Gentoo (since you asked what we all use), but based on your reqs, you wouldn’t wanna use it. And I’m probably in the minority anyways.

Ahh sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant moderation is bad from the user’s perspective, not from the mod’s perspective.

What’s wrong with lemmy moderation? I haven’t had issues.
