  • TIL. But I'd like to know what exactly the damage was?

    Now I'm wondering if all the problems I had with DS4s is related to Sony doing shady shit.

    I still have a DS4 which will sometimes work via Bluetooth and sometimes not.

  • So, the societal problem is created when bad faith actors are given a platform, right? But bad faith actors tend to be great at generating outrage and division and thus drive engagement and clicks - which makes money for the platforms.

    How do we solve this?

  • I found one source! It was sponsored by the British Tobacco Company, lol.

    Nah, it's difficult to find recent data of it - because I get the impression from the papers I have found - the idea was thrown out as a marketing ploy in the 50s and has no significant impact on risk.

    Instead it just makes cigarettes worse for the environment - because the filters don't decompose.

  • As far as I understand, this isn't quite right (unless it's changed recently).

    If A defeds B, then A no longer sends new posts to B, accepts comments or posts from B users, or receives new posts from B. Any comments from B users on A's old posts (made before defederation) are no longer acknowledged by A.

    I think A users can still interact with B's posts, but then I haven't seen any beehaw users in forever. So perhaps not?

    C can obviously still interact with both A and B posts normally. On posts from C, both A and B users can still interact.

    So, in short defederation creates a hard wall preventing interaction between A and B. The only way A and B users can interact is on C.

    It's unfortunate as beehaw would have benefitted from a uni-directional defederation (i.e. preventing .world users from posting on beehaw, but not preventing .beehaw users from posting on .world. Unfortunately, it's both.)
