User experience wise, Canvas > Moodle easily
I didn’t know Canvas was open source, that’s cool
- Comment on Looking for feedback: First draft of multi-level guidelines for Fedecan and its various platforms (lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works, piefed.ca, pixelfed.ca) 2 months ago:
I have collected notes on the legal basis of each point, but we wanted to speak to legal professionals before writing that out officially. Additionally, there is some proposed legislation around online harms, and so we will need to wait before we can write something definitive around that. Depending on what ends up becoming law, we may move some rules down to “Prohibited by Fedecan Policy” instead.
It seems these rules, as drafted, are just “nice to have’s” without a corresponding enforcement avenue – assuming of course that all users are subject to Canadian law, which is probably not the case.
The focus for that section was more to do with what our legal responsibilities are, rather than those of the individual users. We do have users from all around the world.

Thank you! That is in line with what I would have said. I’ll add on some remaining thoughts
I’ll tag @ZERONOVABLOSSOM@sh.itjust.works for the reply as well, thank you for raising the discussion about these areas. There are already some lines that I want to improve based on the discussion here.
Mental health && Eating Disoders
As imaqtpie has mentioned, that bit was included because of past issues with social media platforms around those topics. I’ve also found that the culture on the Fediverse has a focus around tagging content so that it is easier for users to control their online experience, especially on the Mastodon side.
I agree with imaqtpie’s stance on those questions. While I want to wait for more discussion before proposing changes, right now I’m leaning towards separating the mental health point from the other two. Graphic content and sexual content is easy to identify, and people expect that content to be labelled. Discussion around sensitive topics might sometimes need a label, but that would be situation dependent. We could include a line to say that people can use their best judgment on when to label such content, or most it to another section entirely.
An asterisk with a definition somewhere in the rules would be nice. I could look it up but I worry my understanding of these terms will differ from what you’re meaning.
That is a good point, we can definitely do that. Maybe some expandable cards (which look like this ) with the text “What is sockpuppetry”, and a longer explanation with examples underneath. I could take from the examples @imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works shared if that would be ok?
There is likely a better term for the SEO point, but I’ll have to think of what to call it. It’s pretty obvious when it happens on Lemmy, since the account will primarily post links to the website that it is trying to promote. Before we enabled registration applications on Pixelfed.ca, we were getting a lot of accounts with bios that included links to gambling sites or sketchy online businesses.
- Comment on Which git plateform to choose? 2 months ago:
That only works for people who are higher up in their field of work, since they can pick and choose who they work for
Most people going for junior/entry level roles don’t have that luxury
- Comment on Whats a good alternative to Instagram? 2 months ago:
- Pixelfed for sharing public content
- Signal (or a similar messaging platform) for private stories / content intended for specific people
Instagram wasn’t really private to begin with, but that distinction is still helpful to remember IMO
Then you can use something like libredirect with kittygram to view any Instagram only content in a privacy respecting way, like if you open a link
- Comment on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release 2 months ago:
It doesn’t sound like OP is mad at the creator, but annoyed at the increased number of projects that are abandoned
It’s hard to judge the longevity of a project, and LLMs can make a project look more stable and professional than it is. It’s fair to feel annoyed if you mess up that call and move your workflow to something that gets abandoned.

I’m looking forward to seeing if it snaps onto the play button after opening some content, that’s the main issue I had on Android TV
