Honestly I canât wait for ranked choice voting to take hold too - but it wonât without violent revolution in my lifetime. Thatâs kind of the issue we find ourselves in. Politicians are constantly shown unwilling to hold themselves accountable, they are essentially unpoliceable (though Iâm hoping that weâre seeing this change). This sham as fuck country is balls-deep in corruption, and at the risk of sounding like trump-tard, there are some pretty clear instances where Dems seem like they are not willing to shine a light on vote disparities. When it comes to Republicans, every accusation is a confession. Iâm pretty sure Dems are aware of this shit going on too, but are unwilling to rock the boat because theyâre afraid of whatâs coming â the American people being untrusting in our elections.
Thatâs part of what all of this bullshit stems from in the first place. Thereâs a minority in this country that make garbage laws for people they donât govern. Iâm living in it right now. DeSanctimonious and his âdonât say gayâ laws are bullshit. All of the books being stripped from libraries right now, is backwards. I am literally sick of hearing about it constantly. I donât want to talk about it, I want to talk to people about things that matter. I want to discuss how to help people fix their cars. I want to teach people how to design and engineer robots. I donât give a shit who you are. I would actually take JOY in never knowing another persons name, gender, gender identity, sex, child status, marriage status, etc ever again. Thatâs whatâs so wonderful about the internet and conversations like these. Nobody ever brings it up! Itâs a wonderful place and I wish the real world were the same.
Well thatâs news to me about some secret karma score. But I doubt thatâs the goal here since it has no relevance to anything currently.
I disagree with basically everything else you wrote. This is a news article and a world news article. Itâs not an advertisement for shoes or something inappropriate. So what is wrong with posting it in multiple relevant communities? If you donât like news, then yeah, youâre not going to be interested. But thatâs on you to set up your feed so that you get content you are interested in, and not content you arenât interested in. I donât understand people who just view the main feed and then complain that not everyone shares their interests. Thatâs always going to be the case and there is no way around it except by customizing your feed.
Different communities definitely have different content, so I donât know where you are getting that from. Maybe you need to check out some different communities. But obviously thereâs going to be a lot of overlap between different news communities. You could argue that they are a bit redundant, and yes, thatâs true, but thatâs the nature of the fediverse. Different instances sometimes have very similar communities, and so they do share a lot of the same content. This is also true on Reddit by the way, you just have identical communities with slightly different names.

One could argue that "Skin a Cat" makes a more profound point amidst the silliness. Which is that (as Azetbur has pointed out) "the Federation is nothing more than a homo sapiens only club".
Obviously there are real world reasons why human (and primarily American) cultural references abound in Star Trek, but it's always irked me that, for instance, there would be an entire class of Starfleet vessels named after cities in one United States state - ie, the California class. Why not have all the ships in this class named after towns in, say, the ShiKahr district of Vulcan instead? I think that would do a better job of world building, representing the Federation as a body that's more than just a bunch of humans with a handful of token aliens. Or, better yet, have all the ships ships named after smaller cities in a range of UFP member planets?
Starfield, the space role -playing gamefrom Bethesda Game Studios, has concluded its second day after theo fficial launch date with more than six million
I've been enjoying the game quite a bit, honestly. There are some shortcomings, namely the menu navigation can be cumbersome to learn since hotkeys bring you between some menus but not all. But after a couple days I've gotten most of them sorted - in space you can select the objective marker and fly to it in space, no menu required and it's not full fast travel.
Right now, my biggest persisting issue is simply that quests aren't categorized by planet and so it's a lot of menu swapping to get between them and plot out a the most efficient route between galaxies. However, technically that doesn't matter very much because grav-jumping has a lenient distance for the quests but it still feels nice and so I'd appreciate a better sorting system.
Quests are visible through the mission menu (hotkey L) and on the planetary map's (hotkey M) settlement/outpost locations in small subtext when you go to the planet in the map. For the mission menu, there's a key to show on map but it's a little time consuming, and for the planetary map it's nice to see there's a quest there but it's not optimal for planning out the order of your quests.
Aside from all that map/menu shenanigans though, which again by now (~4 days with 2d 10h in save time) I've honestly gotten mostly used to, the game feels pretty solid. With RayTracing on a 5800x3D and a 10GB 3080 with a variable refresh rate I've found the framerate to be acceptable, large areas will slow down the framerate but responsiveness is still fine. I've yet to come across a combat scenario where frames dip. Smaller to medium areas all run phenomenally.
In the total time I've played I've come across 1 quest with somewhat bugged logic. Without spoilers, there's a hidden-ish settlement that has a leader and residents who can turn against you. If you kill any of the residents, the rest of the friendly AI will eventually turn on you, making the quest on console likely to be completely bugged. However on PC this is solved with console command to turn that faction's bounty ID reset to 0. I believe in efforts to solve this I also caused some crashing, as a couple times the game crashed around the remedies. But, I completed the quest as I wanted to with overall less than 30 minutes of bug-troubleshooting. This could very well be fixed as part of the day 1 patch as well, we shall see.
Other than that instance of the quest bugging and the game crashing, the game entirely before then was bug free. An AI pathing issue here and there, one instance of an NPC I was talking to starting to float to the ceiling mid conversation. And since the completion of that semi-bugged quest there have been no lingering effects so far it seems, no crashing and the remaining people and area seems fine.
All in all, I've been pleasantly surprised with the game. The quests are interesting and pretty well varied, the faction interactions are abundant and not very limiting but lots of potential for alternative style playthoughs regardless of what you level into. Not sure if there's a level cap but theoretically you can fill out your perk skills quite far. However the traits and factions you align yourself with give you a lot of different options and could bring lots of replay value. (Brief example, there is a religious group that attacks non-sensically. You can start as one of these, and I'm assuming learn the sense of their attacks.) I am a space scoundrel who is wanted with parents, I'm a corporate espionage agent, undercover CIA agent who is tasked with taking down a space pirate faction, and I became a space ranger amidst all this. Honestly, it's sick.
There's a few varied actions that are locked behind perks, similarly you could go the entire game without building an outpost or using the ship builder. I'd suggest seeing which locked skills you may be interested in, but otherwise the outposts feels like a decent iteration of FO4 (which I wasn't huge on). So far, outposts are OK, I don't need them but I can see value in them. The idea of building a home is more fun which can also be done. Ship building is actually tons of fun, but that's something I'm also interested in. I found a ship that I love, I upgraded it and then expanded upon it and damn, it's rewarding. It did take some time to build, but it was time I enjoyed and on PC there were some quirks but they were minimal and I adapted to them quickly.
It's a fun game with some a few minor menu-flow that can add up to feel more annoying than they might actually be. I've gotten used to it by now though.
On the thread announcing the immediate defederation from âsh.itholefor.nazisâ, a user complaints that interacting with our instance gave them anxiety, just as bad as debating users or reddit. They named reddit âstormfrontâ, to insinuate that for them, reddit is filled with nazis. Though maybe they meant stormfront.org, a place filled with actual nazis.
Iâve been writing my own render framework and component library for about a year now.
One thing I enjoy most about it is that the types are automatically inferred. Thereâs a lot of Typescript wrangling going on, and it gets really deep into what TS is capable of and barely capable of (polymorphic this, dynamic return types based on input, Class type reconstruction, mixins that influence both static and instance properties, event listeners based on event name, typed property watchers based on property name).
Itâs all written in JavaScript with âJSDocsâ. Itâs not really JSDocs because thereâs a lot of recursion thatâs not possible with regular JSDocs. Itâs TS type information slipped into JSDoc comments.
But that is to setup the ability to tap into inferred types. The actual code thatâs written (eg: components) is fully typed check with little or no type declaration.
The reality is, no complex piece of code should be written without some form of type checking. TS isnât perfect and if there were something better, Iâd move. Alliances are stupid. There are problems with some things that have not been, and likely will never be, fixed. But what type-checkers should do best is infer types dynamically.
The result means all my code today just runs in the browser. I donât have to wrangle builders or compilers (bye Webpack!). At most, I use just esbuild to minify, though itâs an optional step, not a mandatory one. If I want to mess around on Codepen with my library, I can refer to a git commit directly and load the file. I donât need npm to package and release. (CodePen Sample)

Just like if you procreate, your genes are what benefit. They get passed on and kept âaliveâ. For ideas the staying power of the idea and how is gets passed on is itâs memetic success.
How long someone name is remembered, is a good measure. Tutanchamun for instance is one of the best known pharaohs, just because his grave was found intact. His life was quite short and insignificant, but due to his remains being found almost everyone knows his name.
Sometimes this is deliberate, rich and important people try to do much to ascertain both their genetic and memetic procreation. Sometimes itâs quite accidental as the merchant Ea-nasir, who apparently delivered some sub-par copper ingots and the customer complaint survived: allthatsinteresting.com/first-customer-service-coâŠ

Meanwhile theyâre all missing amazing content and niche communities like the raccoon community and the diy home automation project community, to name a few of my favorites.
Iâve read through the reproductive rights section of the report but only some of the citations, and Iâm still looking for the interviews.
The OHCHR report does cite Zenz in citation #140 a few times, on page 19 and continuing into the footnote on page 20 of the pdf.
Citation #140 is for a statistic that in certain counties 10â20% of the adult âethnic populationâ (the reportâs words) were detained.
The footnote mentions Zenzâs name twice, but also mentions Xinjiang Police Files, which is Zenz again.
Iâm still looking for the 40 interviews. It would be really interesting to hear what they have to say. Speaking before seeing them, Iâm not sure I can have full confidence in them when Iâm aware of so many instances where western governments and their allies have produced false witness testimony to justify foreign policy, e.g., the Nayirah testimony before the Gulf War, witness accounts of Iraqi WMDs before the Iraq War, fictitious witness accounts of a genocide in Libya before the NATO bombing campaign that obliterated the country, and a large number of North Korean defector testimonies that have fallen apart under scrutiny, as reported by the Guardian. This is how consent is manufactured. America is engaged in a trade war with China and hostilities are escalating in the South China Sea, and these activities require consent from legislators and the public. But Iâm not going to discount the interviews either â itâs evidence that has to be stacked up with other evidence and then appraised as a whole.

Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who donât know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
There will be 3: NSFW, CW and Generic. Excuse the passive aggressiveness but this tells me you didnât read the RFC at all
I thought it was obvious that generic is even broder than nsfw or cw, and is irrelevant since weâre talking about nsfw type not being specific enough. And your writing isnât passive aggressive, it sounds angry. If you didnât want comments why name it request for comment?
Your example makes no sense as people not wanting to see will block the entire NSFW tag type in the settings,
Your rfc doesnât mention that, it only mentions blocking tags.
This is what your outlook section says:
There have already been several discussions about future expansions, in particular filtering tags has been requested. Given this proposal tag filtering in the feed view should be possible without further changes to the backend.
Do you see tag type filtering anywhere?
Preset tags can and will definitely be included⊠What you are describing here is pretty much what I wrote in the RFC
You wrote of only having the nsfw and cw (and general) types in the rfc. I didnât see anything about expanding that to more specific types. And if you mean having an nsfw tag with the name porn, itâs not clear in the rfc that tag names can be used for filtering.
Using the object ID optional tag federation can also be achieved, allowing for communities across multiple instances to share content via tags
Makes it sound like only tags with the same id would be considered the same in the interface, so the same preset tag from different instances/communities would not be interchangeable.
See my point regarding NSFW filtering,
If your point was:
Theoretically NSFW could be implemented using a preset âContent Warningâ tag but seperating out this tag allows instances to better filter it out for moderation purposes
Then your point is that it does make sense to have more tag types if theyâre important enough, so thatâs not a point against having a spoiler tag type. Anyways, I wrote that because I thought every post would be limited to 1 tag like on reddit and didnât see the news example. Mb.
You are almost literally describing my RFC, i ask again did you actually read it?!
Stop being so flippant about it. I read your post. It talks about a single tag system that also takes the role of content warnings. I specifically wrote that (imo) content warnings (for filtering out) should be seperate than tags (for filtering in). Also your post doesnât mention platform wide default tags.
First of all I want to sort of apologize, my comment was a lot angrier than initially intended because first lemmy erased my first draft (which was not nearly as aggressive) and then my hunger caught up with me. Not meant as an excuse for it but rather an explanation that the anger wasnât intended.
Your rfc doesnât mention that, it only mentions blocking tags.
Currently ther e is an option to block NSFW entirely, under the tag system that functionality has to be preserved, therefore at the very least an option to completely block the nsfw type tag will be implemented. I did not think mentioning that no feature degradation should occur was necessary, given that it caused some confusion Iâll probably go back and write the implicit parts out.
Do you see tag type filtering anywhere?
As quoted by yourself later on:
Theoretically NSFW could be implemented using a preset âContent Warningâ tag but seperating out this tag allows instances to better filter it out for moderation purposes (for example if no admin/moderator is willing to moderate NSFW content)
Again I did not think I needed to explicitly state that this easier filtering would be done via the type because I thought it was implicitly clear from the context.
itâs not clear in the rfc that tag names can be used for filtering.
Same reason as above but this time even more fundamental: Iâm not gonna rechew programming basics in a document aimed at other programmers. The ability to filter by name is given since the thing has its own json field.
Makes it sound like only tags with the same id would be considered the same in the interface, so the same preset tag from different instances/communities would not be interchangeable.
They would not and that is indeed a minor issue with the entire thing. I donât really think that will be a big issue since tag filtering will likely be done via type + name and not via id as well as tags being coalesced due to federation. Aside from that the default settings of tags should prevent accidental viewing of content (as mentioned in the RFC both NSFW and CW tags will be blurred by default, meaning until users can select to not blur a cw tag themselves)
Then your point is that it does make sense to have more tag types if theyâre important enough, so thatâs not a point against having a spoiler tag type. Anyways, I wrote that because I thought every post would be limited to 1 tag like on reddit and didnât see the news example. Mb.
Itâs fine, what I think I should include in the RFC is the possibility to include more tag types should real use of tags show that they would be beneficial. Itâs a lot easier to add categories there than remove them later on which is why I want to keep the initial amount of types to the absolute minimum needed. In this case thatâs 2+1 since NSFW needs to be split off from cw for feature parity with the current NSFW system.
content warnings (for filtering out) should be seperate than tags (for filtering in)
Programmatically speaking there is absolutely no difference between filtering in and filtering out, which is why I donât think splitting CWs and Tags makes sense. From what I can tell the other Fediverse Platforms handle this in a very similar manner. It also assumes that everyone only wants to filter out CWs, but that is not true. Some people want to filter out porn, others want explicitly only porn in their feed. Some users might not want to see gore or spoilers while others like to read through those things. So in the end there is not even a line between clear âfilter-inâ and âfilter-outâ labels for posts.
Edit: forgot to include but to clear up another misunderstanding: RFC means Request for Change, comments are welcome but it is primarily a document aimed at people already somewhat familiar with the debate to find any major issues with the proposal. I wrote the RFC only after my basic idea received approval by the people already involved in the GitHub discussion.
I know weâre federated with nsfwlemmy or whatever the name is. Whatâs the other one? I want to check.

Let me flip it around again - humans regularly âhallucinateâ, itâs just not something we recognize as such. Thereâs neuro-atypical hallucinations, yes, but thereâs also misperceptions, misunderstandings, brain farts, and âglitchesâ which regularly occur in healthy cognition, and we have an entire rest of the brain to prevent those. LLMs are most comparable to âbrocaâs areaâ, which neurological case studies suggest naturally produces a stream of nonsense (see: split brain patients explaining the actions of their mute half). Itâs the rest of our âcognitive architectureâ which conditions that raw language model to remain self-consistent and form a coherent notion of self. Honestly this discussion on âconceptualizationâ is poorly conceived because itâs unfalsifiable and says nothing about the practical applications. Why do I care if the LLM can conceptualize if it does whatever subset of conceptualization I need to complete a natural language task?
AI is being super overhyped right now, which is unfortunate because it really is borderline miraculous, yet somehow theyâve overdone it. Emergent properties are empirical observations of behaviors theyâre able to at least semi-consistently demonstrate - where it becomes âeye of the beholderâ is when we dither on about psychology and philosophy about whether or not theyâre some kind of âconsciousâ - I would argue they arenât, and the architecture makes that impossible without external aid, but âconscious(ness)â is such a broad term that it barely has a definition at all. I guess to speedrun the overhype misinformation I see:
âThey just predict one token at a timeâ is reductive and misleading even though itâs technically true - the loss function for language modeling inevitably requires learning abstract semantic operations. For instance, to complete âThe capital of France isâ a language model must in some way âknowâ about countries, cities, and the ontology of France.
âItâs just a chatbotâ - ChatGPT is a chatbot, GPT-4 is a language model. Language models model how the likelihood of words and language changes over time. When I said âcausalâ before, this is an arbitrary restriction of the math such that the model only predicts the ânextâ word. If you remove this restriction, you can get it a sentence with a hole in it and itâll tell you what words are most likely to be in that hole. You can think of it as being like a physics model, which describes how objects change over time. Putting these into a âgenerativeâ context allows you to extract latent semantic information generalized from the training corpus, including higher-order relationships. tl;dr âchatbotâ is the first and least interesting application - anything which relates to âunderstandingâ natural language is a potential application.
âHallucinations show that theyâre brokenâ - Hallucinations are actually what youâd expect from these sorts of models. If I had to broadly class the sorts of hallucinations I see, they would be:
Model inaccuracy - Inevitable, but not the only reason. Essentially it failed to generalize in that specific way, like SD and hands.
Unlikely sampling - Itâs possible the code which picks the next word given the probability distribution accidentally picks one (or a series) with a very low chance. When this happens, the LLM has no way to âundoâ that, which puts it in a very weird position where it has to keep predicting but itâs already in a space that shouldnât really be possible. There are actually some papers which attempt to correct that, like adding an âundo tokenâ (unfortunately canât find the paper) or detecting OOD conditions
Extrapolation - Especially for the earlier models with small context windows, if it needs information which is now outside that window itâs still modeling language, just without the necessary context. Without this context, it will instead pick one at random and talk about something unrelated. Compare this to eg dementia patients.
Imagination - When you give it some kind of placeholder, like â<âŠ>â, âetc etc etcâ or â## code here ##â, most text in the training data like that will continue as if there was information in that place. Lacking context, just like with âextrapolationâ, it picks one at random. You can mitigate this somewhat by telling it to only respond to things that are literally in the text, and GPT-4 doesnât seem to have this problem much anymore, probably from the RLHF.
Priming - If you prompt the LLM authoritatively enough, eg âfind me a case that proves Xâ which implies such a case exists, if it doesnât know of any such case, it will create one at random. Essentially, itâs saying âif there was a case that proved X it would look like thisâ. This is actually useful when properly constrained, eg if you want it to recursively generate code it might use an undefined function that it âwishesâ existed.
âGPT-5 could be rokoâs basilisk!â - No. This architecture is fundamentally incapable of iterative thought processes, for it to develop those itself would require trillions more parameters, if itâs even possible. Whatâs more, LLMs arenât utility-maximizers or reinforcement learning agents like we thought AGI would be; they do whatever you ask and have no will or desires of their own. Thereâs almost 0 chance this kind of model would go rogue, offset only slightly by people using RLHF but thatâs human-oriented so the worst you get is the model catering to humans being dumb.
âThey tek er jerbs!â - Yes, but not because theyâre âas good as humansâ - they are better when given a specific task to narrowly focus on. The models are general, but they need to be told exactly what to do, which makes them excellent for capitalismâs style of alienated labor. I would argue this is actually be desirable if working wasnât tied to peopleâs privilege to continue living - no living human should have to flip burgers when a robot can do it better, otherwise youâre treating the human like a robot.
Iâll add more if I see or think of any. And if you have any specific questions, Iâd be happy to answer. Also I should note, Iâm of course using a lot of anthropomorphizing language here but itâs the closest we have to describing these concepts. Theyâre not human, and while they may have comparable behaviors in isolation, you canât accurately generalize all human behaviors and their interactions onto the models. Even if they were AGI or artificial people, they would âthinkâ in fundamentally different ways.
If you want a more approachable but knowledgeable discussion on LLMs and their capabilities, I would recommend a youtuber named Dave Shapiro. Very interesting ideas, he gets a bit far into hype and futurism but those are more or less contained within their own videos.`
Well there is a lot that you can do to maximize security, privacy and anonymity in this setting.
For expample, you can do optional client-side/end-to-end encryption, so the instance owner doesnât even know what is going on on their server. E.g. like how Whatsapp, Signal etc do it. Delta Chat is even an example of an end-to-end encrypted federated messaging servive. Anyone can host a server, but server owners donât know what anyone is talking about.
For example, there might be an instance for my local county that most people from the county chose as a home instance. I can do end-to-end encrypted personal messaging on it like Signal/Whatsapp or end-to-end encrypted group chata or my end-to-end encrypted discord like community or a personal end-to-end encrypted Lemmy community for my friends and me. Only people with access can see what happens in these communities, server owners can not, they can only see the encrypted storage.
Also you could do privacy protection cross instance by hiding the real account. Letâs say 1) you visit a new instance from your home instance, 2) you generate a new identity tied to your existing account, 3) you do some convoluted sheme to use zero-knowledge proofs to get your home instance to authenticate you as a trustworthy user, BUT without your home instance knowing your new identiy on the other instance, nor the new instance knowing your old identity. For all intents and purposes itâs like creating a completely new account for the new instance, except you get to keep your positive reputation from your home instance. Like a recommendation letter from your instance for an anonymous user.
This will also become much more relevant once AI bots are becoming a problem in the fediverse. You need some way to prove you are a human, that doesnât rely on centralization, or reduces your privacy or anonymity. Basically every instance also becomes an identity service, that can vouch for you that you are a trustworth real human.
And again all these features would be optional for instances, communities and users. Some communities would use none of this and just work like regular old Lemmy. Even DMs could be visible for instance owners. As long as itâs clearly visible what your current level of privacy/anonymity is, I donât see a problem with it. E.g. for corporate transparency you might have nothing end-to-end encrypted.
I just want one big federated platform that can be used for pretty much every form of communication with appropriate levels of privacy and security for every use case. Thatâs my perfect fediverse, like the concept of âthe end of historyâ, itâs âthe end of social mediaâ, i.e. we wonât have to change it for as long as humanity livesâŠ
But Iâm gonna be honest, itâs possible that it would be a better solution to not have your identity tied to any single home instance, but have some sort of global identity management, that is like an umbrella layer over all instances. It functions in the same way that I described, with no instance knowing your real global identity. It just generates a new identity for every instance BUT somehow accumulates reputation accross instances. That reputation you can use to join new instances or to prove you are human, without actually ever revealing your ârealâ identity to them. Like, imagine you are a bouncer for a club, you canât see anyone who wants enter the club, you just have an omnipotent guy that looks at them for you and that knows if they are trustworthy, and this guy just tells you who to let in and who not to. The bouncer is the instance and the omnipotent guy is the global identity service and the people that want to enter the club are users like you. The instance owner doesnât know what users just entered, but they still know everyone is trustworthy.
Something like that.
Identity services/human verification like that are inevitable in my opinion, so Iâd like them to be implemented in the best way possible, open-source, secure, completely decentralized, anonymous and private. No centralized government ID services, nor Big Tech ones, that is just ripe for abuse on a scale weâve never seen before.
This global identity service that Iâm envisioning wouldnât nescessarily be centralization, as there might not be some central point that does all the global identity management. Sort of how there are password managers that donât store your passwords on any single server, but passwords are generated from the name of the domain and your master password and maybe a pw reset counter. This global identity management could function algorithmicly without any data storage OR work on âtruelyâ decentralized (not federated) solutions like blockchains or torrents etc⊠Basically where the trustworthiness is guaranteed by the algorithms, not the server owners.
And again all this obfuscation of identites might be optional. You might use the same identiy across different instances and everything you write in those instances might be public OR visible to the instance owner OR it might be completely encrypted, anonymous, private.
Having all identities under one umbrella will give you a lot of convenience. For example you might want to delete your entire social media presence, so you just delete your global identity and all your sub identites will be deleted as well, along with all the content you posted under them (where that is allowed).
Itâs all about having the appropriate amount of privacy and anonymity for any use case, while keeping maximum convenience for users.
Of course you could do this all today, using different platforms like Whatsapp, Discord, Matrix, Lemmy, etc. while juggling 10000 different accounts, with every platform working differently. No one can tell me that that is better solution⊠I just want it all federated standardized so you always know exactly what youâre getting yourself into.
There might be 50 different variables that affect your privacy/anonymity on any instance/community and you get the same clearly structured overview of those varbiable on literally every instance/community on this ânetworkâ. No painfully extracting these variables from 1000 terms of service declations, no dealing with their shitty web design that is being forced on you to maximize clicks, no popups etcâŠ
Instead you can pick your own clients to browse, just like the Fediverse, while always having a clear understanding of your level of privacy and anonymity.
Like I said, it should be the social media platform to end all social media to give the power back to the people, not some tech bro or the government. Just want people in virtual spaces to have the same agency they used to have in physical spaces. Privacy and anonymity by default used to be the norm in phyiscal spaces in a free society, but with the increasing virtualization that is no longer the case. I just want things to go back to normal.

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldnât find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?

Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts?
Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who donât know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
