- Comment on I for one welcome Bluesky, the ATmosphere, BTS ARMY, and millions of Brazilians to the fediverses! 4 weeks ago:
I hope they start supporting people who want to run an indexer. Right now they just point to their source code and say, “if you can get this largely undocumented complex service running on your own, you can run a indexer, but don’t ask us for any help”.
I’m not entirely confident that it will happen before their only funding source decides to cut off the cash flow.
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 1 month ago:
Discord and Reddit also had uniquely improved their UIs over the existing options.
- Comment on Mozilla is going to shut down their Mastodon instance 2 months ago:
Doesn’t help that they have offered no explanation at all.
- Comment on Are there any other services that use the AtProtocol other than Bluesky? 2 months ago:
Are you talking about blusky’s indexer?
- Comment on Are there any other services that use the AtProtocol other than Bluesky? 2 months ago:
Not yet
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
You can even question if the compiled version running on an instano is the same as the version posted to GitHub. There’s no way to even check what’s running on the server you don’t have access to.
Trust is necessary at some level if your going to participate on any hosted or federated service as you pointed out.
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 2 months ago:
By simply using the default mbin UI and click and clicking on two menu options for any particular post or comment.
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 2 months ago:
I agree with just about everything you said, except that it won’t be a technical can of worms to implement the change according to the devs.
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 2 months ago:
mbin users can see that right now.

This reads like someone telling me that the nazi bar is the only place to go because the nazi bar has people there all the time and the other bars are mostly empty.

Seems like a good strategy would be to not have every post and comment shown to you if your goal is to break your habit of spending too much time on your phone or PC.
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 3 months ago:
Quality over quantity is what I would prefer. I think LemmyNSFW is a potential determent for other instances.
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 3 months ago:
Lemmy.world has no lock in on their “power”. They have the most volunteer labor, money, and infrastructure. That’s makes them stable, so people aren’t worried about their data suddenly going offline (like kbin) and they don’t worry about the service being flaky.

there’s tremendous value in repairing and upgrading existing things.
Value created doesn’t translate to value extracted and VCs and managers and marketers and the general public fork over more money in exchange for new shiny than old, reliable, maintained. There are few exceptions.

Over 6 months and over a month, I think most users with multiple accounts use their accounts at least once to post, comment, or vote. So it wouldn’t surprise me if active users to active accounts was 1:2
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 3 months ago:
No. I think that there are enough users with multiple accounts including bots that it wouldn’t surprise me if the ratio of active users to active accounts is 1:2.
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 3 months ago:
Initially, yes. They probably relaxed it a bit.
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 3 months ago:
This is my way too. But I default to new and switch to scaled and top-x from time to time.
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 3 months ago:
I think that’s a mistake, but also the point is that saying users when you mean accounts is lying to yourself. Users here have multiple accounts, I have 7.
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 3 months ago:
Thos bots got blocked and banned.
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 3 months ago:
Scaled is intentionally promoting communities with fewer subscribers. It’s intentionally demoting the most active posts bt demoting any posts from the communities with more subscribers.
- Comment on 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 42827 in two days 3 months ago:
Active accounts is not active users. We shouldn’t lie to ourselves. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of active users is half of the active account number.
- Comment on I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of? 3 months ago:
Credit Reporting business started before the internet existed, so probably not.

TrueWork exists, but they have a shitty privacy policy.

No one is ever satisfied with moderation.

The ability to ignore votes from other instances using an allow list. The ability to ignore votes in communities from unsubscribed accounts.

Are the the moderator views not what you’re asking for here?
