I’d like to encourage more upvoting and boosting too! I like leaving comments, but I know not everyone does. The points from upvoting themselves don’t mean anything, but it lets me know if my post is appreciated or if someone else’s post is worth reading past the headline.

Thank you for explaining this, I’ve had federation turned off for a while now and have been wondering why so many things from Lemmy still pop up.

So much porn, regular porn, amateur porn, furry porn. I have 18+ turned off and some of it still slips through sometimes.

I’ve had some frustrating experiences. A few weeks ago when I posted something, even if other people disagreed, they would respond with the kindness of assuming that I’m speaking in good faith. More and more people are responding to my comments rather aggressively. It’s mostly people with far left views, which I suppose is better than people with far right views, but it’s still rather off-putting.

It’s gotten bad enough that I almost expect for someone to respond to this comment negatively.

Yes, but I’ve forgotten it now

For posts I upvote and boost. For comments I upvote, unless the person I’m responding to hasn’t upvoted their own comment.

I don’t recall us defederating from them. Maybe try moving to beehaw.org, the definitely defederated from lemmy.ml and they have stricter moderation standards overall.

They do? That sucks. I’ve only had iPhones and have gotten the battery replaced in both of them. It’s increased the lifespan of my phones by a couple of years, but it doesn’t double it. I usually start to sick of my hardware after about 5 years.

Sooo, literally everything. Are there even any categories left out? That seems pretty comprehensive.

Thanks for the shout out. It seems that the original thread was deleted, so I’ll re-explain my idea here. The capped overall karma is to remove the incentive to grind for reputation points. There is fundamentally no point to them, but there is clearly some psychological need driving us to want more of them. This should help with karma farmers.

The magazine specific reputation points is so that people can tell when a troll has entered their specific magazine. A troll would have high overall reputation but in your magazine it would be very low, which allows for them to be quickly identified and banned.

@RheingoldRiver I like your idea of a percent breakdown, but it wouldn’t help magazines identify spammers. A spammer can create an unlimited number of magazines with legitimate sounding names and spread out their grinding among them. The percent breakdown would look normal unless someone really dug into it.

What I don’t have a solution for is creating an incentive structure that discourages shills from creating alt accounts in order to gain more influence.

It’s nice here. :)

I haven’t notice more problems with kbin to Lemmy federation than with kbin to kbin federation. They both seem to be having problems. I also don’t think the hd-dvd and blue-ray comparison is an apt analogy. Maybe it’s more like xbox vs playstation. They’re platforms rather than technologies (Lemmy and kbin both use the same activity pub technology) and while there are exclusives to each system there’s so much overlap that it hardly matters which one you buy from a content point of view

You can swap the ssd! Why are they charging so much to upgrade to only 256gb of Nvme storage?

I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen

Oh I don’t know maybe it has something to do with Sam Bankman-Fried swindling $8 billion.

We aren’t a subset of lemmyworld (we aren’t even part of Lemmy) so I think we’re good

That’s exactly how I meant it! Lots of people watch porn and do drugs, it’s not a problem to watch porn in your own house. That’s why I’m saying the problem is housing. The solution isn’t allow people to watch porn and do drugs in public, it’s housing so they can do it in private like normal people.

I think it’d make the comments a little cluttered looking. It doesn’t really matter what instance someone is from for regular conversation and if someone’s curious the can click through to the persons profile

The problem unhoused people face is not nighttime library access it’s housing. We all know that the reason they’re shutting their wifi off at night is because while for some homeless people this wifi is a lifeline, for some others it’s where they get their porn or where they hang out to do drugs and browse the internet. But the fundamental problem remains the same, because they have no where to go home to, whether someone is fapping or connecting with helpful resources, it’s all done in public.

The difference that I see between reddit and twitter is that reddit hasn’t been purchased to be the plaything of a billionaire. This matters because unlike facebook and google, reddit and twitter aren’t profitable. That means that reddit doesn’t have to pockets to buy up competitors, lobby for beneficial regulations, focus on expanding overseas, or move into making hardware.
