We already have the same problem here. Some of our major communities have belligerent mods on problematic instances.

We’re not solving that problem, we’re just making it easier to hide from it via defederation.

If federation works the way it’s claimed to, then if we migrate even the bad parts of reddit here it should be fine.

Lemmy is turning into an elitist cesspool.

Lots of edgelords here like “I don’t want the reddit plebs here” as though they weren’t happily one of them a couple years ago.

Let them come over. Put the idea of federation to the test. Isn’t that one of the major features of federation, if there are a bunch of shitty people you can just degenerate or use a different community?
If federation does what it claims then it’ll only be an improvement.

I agree with people saying not to force people here if they don’t wanna be (not that we could), but the people saying that folks still on reddit are there because they inherently prefer the reddit application UX is crazy. They prefer the content in reddit. And they have a point.

Folks here are way more insufferable than reddit. Just the other day there was a post being like “why do reddit users hate Lemmy?” And linked a reddit post about it. But the comments on the reddit post were considered, nuanced, and polite; while the comments on the Lemmy post were a bunch of neckbeards crying about how terrible reddit users are.

TLDR y’all need to look in the mirror.

Honestly, in my experience since I fully moved to Lemmy:

Almost any subreddit is more mature than any Lemmy channel.
This isn’t just number of users (but that’s a huge problem that has been mentioned here a lot), it means that the chance you’ll run into a mod who is a tinpot despot is pretty high, and there is nothing you can do about it if you’re not willing to sit alone in a ghost town alternate community.

Almost everyone in the linked Reddit post seems to be supportive of Lemmy, or even Lemmy users. Even the people who tried it and stopped seem generally warm to the idea and just think it needs polish.

I’d say that this comment section is way more vitriolic than that one lol

There are lots of reasons to want alternatives to social media mega-corps, and the people with those reasons have varied likes and hobbies.
Even amongst the people who care about privacy, decentralization, etc, people still have varied interests. All you have to do is look at the popularity of Tiktok content about privacy, security, programming, etc.

Dude is a basement dweller, and just assumed that was the norm for everyone who shared an interest with him.

I have my own thoughts about hurdles that loops will face, but “fediverse is for snobs” isn’t it.

Where?

Lamest flex in history

Because the constraints make it interesting
I want the length limits.

Yeah, the fediverse would be much better place without narcissistic gatekeeps like you here to bring the mood down all the time.

What an absolute neckbeard take

I’m interested, and I hope it’s successful.

I’m not sure how they’re going to attract creators, when Tiktok already has the same features, has a larger audience, and pays… But I hope they can because I’d love to dump Tiktok for something open source.

I wonder how their FYP will work, because honestly that’s a huge part of what makes Tiktok good.

It’s hard to find a very of any variety that isn’t a raving douche

I wanted some of their side projects. Their web-things iot automation controller (and related standards) was pretty sweet. Until they spun it off into its own company without any staff.

That’s a wild interpretation of what they said.

Dude described a branding problem, not a technical problem.

Omg mine too (too embarrassing to share).

I forgot how much more patient with pacing we all used to be back in the 00s. Just trusting that the video would go somewhere and there’d be a payoff.

Looking at some of the popular videos from back then, people these days would just scroll away because nothing hooked their attention quickly enough. Myself included. We’ve been trained to expect such quick payoff 😭.

Fuck, now I’ma have to go check on my old deviantart account.

Sorry, the best I can do is passive aggressiveness and righteous indignation

The data needs to be sent from the voter to the server that owns the post. But the server that owns the post can anonymize the data before it sends it to clients or other servers.

That said I don’t have deep understanding of activitypub. Its possible that something would prevent this, like if votes made their way to the server that owns the post by way of telephone game rather than directly from the client or the user’s home server. But that seems like an unreasonable design, so I doubt (hope not) that is the case.

Yeah, and I think that’s the argument about making it public.

But access rights to stuff seems like the kind of thing that should be configurable, even if it requires a change and isn’t backwards compatible

And that should probably be configurable
