  • I liked Admiral Patrick’s take on it: ultimately we cannot control others, only ourselves, so he prevents brand-new accounts from being able to make posts in those communities in the first place, knowing that there is such a high likelihood that they are an attention vampire that will leave hurt feelings of frustration (and sometimes even betrayal) in the wake of their passing. But he only controls one instance, so at best it is only a test of what might work at a larger scale.

    That could work on support communities, but we don't want to give potential new joiners too much of a waiting time before they can post or comment, this would increase the likelihood of them leaving.

  • It's true that just keeping a 'deleted' placeholder with all the comments would already be an improvement

  • Good luck. I know you said you were not a fan of the Mbin UI, but they are already halfway there with Microblogging and Communities (maybe videos even? @melroy@kbin.melroy.org @BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de ?)

    It might be easier to contribute there than to start from scratch.

  • Mbin has support for both microblogging and communities (so Twitter and Reddit like): https://fedia.io/ Maybe that's something that can interest you.

    It doesn't seem too popular, probably because the Twitter and Reddit crowd always had a limited overlap.

  • Like I said, I can’t force you to see it. The fact that you think it would mean re-engineering the whole platform means you aren’t getting it. It’s almost literally the suggestion of least effort, it’s largely an organizational change that encourages instances not to cope with more responsibility than they can deal with by encouraging decoupling the current structure into two more specialized ones.

    You make this about me, but nobody else sees it. As you said, content instance are possible today (admins just have to disable their registrations), but nobody does that.

  • I've had situations where it was useful, and managed to get unbanned (I was apparently talking about the Fediverse too much)

  • For creators, it makes sense to favor the commercial platforms.

    For Reddit users, the Fediverse is a good enough alternative.

  • Have you subscribed to the new Piefed communities following the lemm.ee shutdown?

    I just tried with !movies@piefed.social and !casualconversation@piefed.social , and it seems like your instance doesn't federate them, I guess it's probably the same for the others

    Wait a sec, how come that https://lemmy.relayeasy.com/c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk isn't federated either?

    Edit: what a sec, your instance only has 7 communities federated?!

  • Yeah we can reach out to the mods there and see if they’d want to redirect to us.

    Thanks!

    Brainstorming: how should we name a Lemmy community dedicated to the promotion of the Fediverse?
