Elkaki123 , to nostupidquestions in Viewing Mastodon posts from Lemmy

But the end goal is to make everything viewable right? Or does this happen by design?

Elkaki123 , to nostupidquestions in What are downvotes for then?

This is some mandela effect shit, you definitely could downvote on rif up to the last day

Elkaki123 , to showerthoughts in Now no one will ever see all those super long !remindme bot posts set for 5, 10 or 15 years on Reddit

I actually did, there was no reason to suspect bots would stop working.

Elkaki123 , to fediverse in As Twitter flounders, Mastodon refreshes its official app for Android users

I use fedilabs, don’t know if the other apps have caught up (hope they did) but the timeline function where you can add timelines from whatever instance you like and also have tags as timelines is so OP.

Since I spend most of my time browsing other instance timelines that feature is a must.

Elkaki123 , to fediverse in Suggestion and comments regarding the influx of troublesome users due to the current Reddit and Twitter issues.

You are quite the poetic person, I bookmarked this post because of how much I liked the analogies and expressions, I really like how you write!

That being said, really liked your observations and your description of the effects of it being FOSS.

I do feel thought that you didn’t really give concrete suggestions, as I understand it your points are:

  • take the freedom this platform gives, now it doesn’t have to be decided with corporate interests behind, just look at the community.
  • the issues this platform currently faces are for yhe communities to take creative approaches to, not necessarily to imitate what is already done since it’s a chance to do things different.
  • all those that just came in should trust on the people building this communities, rome wasn’t built in a day.

It is more of an inspiring message rather than concrete recommendations right? Not a criticism, I’m just checking if I got it right.

That said, once again, beautifully put.

Elkaki123 , to fediverse in Bluesky invite codes

Mastodon is nice an all (I switched from twitter to mastodon 2 months ago and have really enjoyed it) but some people just want twitter 2 and not necessarily a federated service where you have to worry about what instances are blocked, who can see what, etc. Also the fact that some people want twitter to interact with celebrities and content creators, at least from those I follow almost all the ones that mentioned moving are going to bluesky.

Those are the two reasons I can think of on why not just moving to mastodon, I love mastodon but for me its more about interacting with people in a way different from what rwddit was fue to the lack of feed and algorithms to show you content, it is all chronological be it an instance you look at, the tags, etc.

And mastodon lowkey lacks being more approachablr right now, for the average user choosing an instance is a difficult task, there are many good videos explaining it and all, but joining mastodon for a lot of people takes effort since it involves learning about the fediverse and that is a bareier of entry that prevents the mass appeal twitter has.

I do feel this issues will solve themselves once more people start using it and once it gets more big celebrities (not just the tech related ones), but it is understandable why some people want a different thing.

Elkaki123 OP , to nostupidquestions in Can a community have 0 mods?

Can you be a mod from a different instance or do you need to create an account there? (Also thanks for answering)

“Developer claims” didn’t steam literally announce this like 2 days ago??

Elkaki123 , to youshouldknow in YSK: If you're on Lemmy.World or Sh.itjust.works you should not subscribe to any Beehaw communities

Fine, I just don’t get the echo chamber feeling but admittedly I only use beehive for gaming/anime/escapism hobby related communities so I haven’t seen it being all about conteolling politics, at least not directly.

At the end of the day I barely get what you mean by controlling politics, since it is not apparent on the communities I visit. Also keep in mind, I’m not american so if this is about the culture war over there or a republicans vs democrats thing I probably won’t notice it since it hasn’t affected any discussion I’ve had.

But I would need concrete examples for me to see it as authoritarian because in a vacuum as I explained I can see communities pulling this kind of conduct without it being about controlling the discourse per se but more about helping communities.

Edit: forgot to say, but if it was over politics I don’t think that would necessitate a ban lemmy.world (or alternative ly that would mean complete defederation) since it has no clear political affiliation, I see it just it being massive and difficult to moderate otherwise they would have targeted many other toxic instances way before touching .world.

Elkaki123 , to fediverse in Preparing for Future Corporate Influence

No one knows if corporations have a way to mess this up yet, which has in turn fueled the push against META joining the space.

But by design it is safeguarded, it is all about horizontal growth, instances aren’t thought to grow indefinitely so it is encouraged that people make their own instances to spread the load. As long as we have this option a corporation can’t take over since as you said everyone can just defederate, or if they are part of an instance that has been corrupted by corporate instance you can just move over to other instance. This is the key difference with a centralized service, in reddit yes you have different subs with different rules and moderators , but at the end of the day you are all under the whims of reddit and have no sub to escape to once reddit fucks ip. Here if the equivalent of reddit where to fuck up, start banning people or defederating with everyone once it grows big enough, you can just move to other instance inmediatly and aboid the problem.

That is why I’m not really that worried of corporations making instances regardless of how big they get because as long as the protocol remains unchanged we can all just flee with no issue.

Elkaki123 , (edited ) to fediverse in Fedilab App

It also supports peertube!

I use it a lot, just a heads up for anyone interested, on google play the app is paid, but the app is free on F-droid and uploaded by the same devs, no features missing to my knowledge.

Think of the google play app more like a donation (or if you are like me, buy it because you are too lazy to got to F-droid) but be aware the app is actually free and one of the best when it comes to mastodon.

A feauture it has is that it lets you have as many timelines as you want, be it for instances or even tags so that you are not restricted to your subscribed, local and all but you can just choose a random instance and save their timeline to browse whenever you want.

Edit: forgot to mention, technically it supports the entire fediverse, but you will be restricted to your mastodon UI if you follow lemmy or kbin accounts, which means you will see likes and boosts instead of upvote/downvote. It is not ideal, in fact I would recommend having a separate lemmy app, but you can do it.

Elkaki123 , to nostupidquestions in If feet can be a sexual fetish and Nickelodeon produced many scenes sexualizing teenagers feet, then can those scenes be considered CP?

I have seen some definitions use primarily sexual instead of only sexual and even then this kind of recordings are far, far, from actual CP

Elkaki123 , to nostupidquestions in If feet can be a sexual fetish and Nickelodeon produced many scenes sexualizing teenagers feet, then can those scenes be considered CP?

Nope, in the same way someone amassing photos from children’s beauty pageant wouldn’t constitute CP.

No clue why people are saying that if the collection is big enough it eould be CP. Thas is not (to my knowledge) how we define CP.

I quickly read this, which is a spanish article on the legislation on Chile comparing it to the rest of the world. You probably could google translate it if you are really interested. It talks about international definitions, other country drfinitions then the Chilean law and finally about how vague the terms used usually are and how to interpret.

www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S…

From my read, CP laws usually focus on minors being used in materials that show them either doing sexual activities or that are meant for sexual excitement. Even nudity, by itself, is not CP (imagine you take photos of a nude child for a medical archive). Some other commonly seen requisites are that what is shown is primarily sexual and that the objective is the satisfaction of sexual desire. Some even separate plainly erotic content from sexual ones, but that is a big discussion in of itself and I don’t know if it is relevant to US law.

Point being, nope, I don’t think this conduct would constitute CP under US law (or any other for ghe matter) because it is not something that constitutes “explicit sexual conduct”

Elkaki123 , to youshouldknow in YSK: If you're on Lemmy.World or Sh.itjust.works you should not subscribe to any Beehaw communities

Why would you not be welcome? Is it for your political opinions? Even if it were, I don’t think they would personally shun you unless it entails attacking minorities.

That aside, and having said that of course it is everyone’s perrogative to judge this behavior, I personally feel it is an exaggeration. Not every instance is about free speech nor should they be, at the end of the day the fediverse is about creating communities, one is able and should shape them into what their vision of that is. This is not authoritarianism, in this case they said it is due to their inability to moderate.

Even if it weren’t for that, it is good that communities don’t federate with every instance, aa I said, not everyone is about free speech and changing opinions some are here to have a good time and for that adequate protection is necessary.

I myself prefer deciding myself when to block other instances, so I joined one that let’s users decide. But if other instances decided to block us I would understand and either move on or join another instance to interact with them without thinking much about it (having multiple accounts is kind of easy on the apps,)

I think I’m kind of used from servers blocking one another from my time on mastodon and I’ve seen the necessity of the practice, for example an anime focused group blocking bot instances, brigading, alt right groups, etc.
