You don’t even need to do that though. It would be the “fork” that contains the blocking, surely.

Is this really true?
Twilio is the biggest sms back end and it’s like $10 per number month or something.
Australia also, South West corner. Water is fine to drink, I just don’t like the taste. We collect rain water instead - heaps of that.
The bulk of reddit has already gone back to reddit.
Don’t get me wrong, lemmy is great just the way it is. We don’t need a continued influx from reddit (although lets see what happens on 1 July).
What about bots to talk to the bots thought?
syntax error, malformed JSON.
You’re right in a way, but I think you’re applying a narrow definition of “opinion” when I think most people ITT are thinking about “behaviours”.
Sure, it’s not great to exclude dissenting political opinions, the intolerance paradox being a notable exception. That said, I’m not here to discuss politics.
Say for example that some users will do anything for fake internet points - post anything, say anything, there behaviour is guided by the pursuit of karma and building some kind of following. Other users will do anything for engagement, whatever it takes to get others to engage with them including trolling. I’m happy enough for these types of users to find more rewarding platforms elsewhere. Note that’s different to excluding them, it’s just being a part of a place that isn’t fertile ground for their fixations.
This sounds fantastic to me.
It’s pretty much what happened on mastodon with the twitter-storm in November.
Huge influx of new users, about a third hung around - but it was the third who were the most like-minded.
eventually it’ll run dry - because the contributors are leaving the site
I somewhat disagree… you haven’t considered the increased incentive for occasional posters to become more regular contributors as existing contributors leave.
As the volume of contributions reduces, each contribution is more likely to garner engagement - those sweet sweet endorphins released when someone upvotes or otherwise engages with your post.
I agree. If lemmy continues to grow, inevitably some servers will be shit, but I imagine there will be other non-federated or less-federated instances. beehaw has already started down that path.
Trolls are generally looking for maximum carnage, so I imagine there’s less incentive / reward posting somewhere like lemmy.
This is happening all over reddit.
Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.
You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.
this particular cat and mouse has been going on for a long time.
Although I get the impression it’s not particularly aggressive.
There was a while there about a year ago where newpipe seemed to break every week and you had to install the next patch version from github. It’s not like newpipe had to develop some new workaround or something, just changed class names or something.
Not wanting to pay youtube does not mean not wanting to pay creators.
Too bad that YT, regarding content offer, lacks valid competitors and this position can lead to abuse in front of the user.
It’s the same as any other platform - the network effect. People are more likely to produce content for youtube because thats where the users are.
That said, it’s easier for content creators to support alternatives because unlike social media where everyone is a creator video content producers have a creator > follower relationship, so there’s almost no cost to them to upload the same content on other sites.
I subscribed to nebula a while back. There’s not heaps of content, and all (ok almost all) of it is available for free on youtube. However, I’m happy to pay provided that most of the revenue is going to creators, and I’m happy to support a non-advertising-revenue model.
It’s inevitable that some communities and some instances will be run this type of fief lord, but I suspect that the fediverse will support a more diverse range of cultures, just by virtue of there being more to choose from.
There needs to be a way to link to a post in an instance agnostic way.
For example, this post is in [email protected] and the id is 1255605, but that id number won’t work on any other instance.
If someone shares a link with me like https://lemmy.ml/post/1255605 that will take me to lemmy.ml, where I’m not logged in. If I have an account on lemmy.world then the only way for me to comment on this post is to navigate to lemmy.world/c/[email protected] manually and then literally look at the feed to find this post. It’s a pain in the butt for new / current threads but will be a huge pain for older threads.
Redditors in general just aren’t that into lemmy. Most redditors come here expecting to find a 1 for 1 replacement pre-warmed with millions of users and brimming with reddit culture.
Not having an algorithm to tell people what they want to see is a bigger impediment to attracting users than most people realise.
Additionally, I think mods are reluctant to direct users to any other community as they will give up lordship of their own fiefdom. Sorry, I acknowledge that I have probably an unfairly dim view of mods. I’m sure some are amazing, but certainly many are self-obsessed power trippers. They act in their own interests to preserve control rather than acting in the interest of the community.
Usernames are only universal in the same way an email address is. Any instance can have an @citizenpremier but only you can be @[email protected].
I don’t mean to be a douche about it but you’re still thinking about it in a very corporate-social kind of way. For something to be universal it requires a central point of control, which doesn’t exist in the fediverse.
The biggest problem I see is fragmentation, people are creating the same community in different instaces, /c/Piracy for example.
I agree, to an extent. You’re right in that if you were part of the vibrant community of /r/piracy then it’s miserable to see it shatter here on lemmy. That said, this only applies if you’re expecting lemmy to be a 1 for 1 reddit replacement. For this type of community to remain cohesive, /r/piracy would have had to spin up their own instance and in /r/piracy direct everyone to lemmy.piracyinstance.whatever.
You can’t really “fix” this in a central way because even if you did, it would be trivial to create an instance that would allow duplicate community names. Also, I can see a lot of use cases for lemmy which do not intend to be federated.
That said, it’s not necessarily as big a problem as it appears, if you just accept that this is how the fediverse works. There’s no single source of control, so of course people can create 147 different /c/piracy communities if they wish to. Once you accept that, then it’s not really that difficult to subscribe to all the /c/piracy communities you can find.
The problem itself could be diminished by a few new features which I feel certain will emerge in the future:
It’s as though this proposal was dreamed up by someone who has never installed anything on their PC.
Like are they going to block entire repositories? When you
apt get install x
from within france to they expect repositories to magically give you the french version?
