Has anyone ever considered attempting a potential federated alternative to the major witchcraft and coven websites and communities?

Jump

  • This is the sort of superficial dismissal I was referring to.

    "There are no safety issues because you can plead your case publically and incite a mob!" isn't exactly as trust-inspiring as you seem to believe.

  • No they allow admins to decide that. Users have no control. User activity is fully public and cannot be controlled for safety.

  • Frankly, I don't think the privacy model of the fediverse is workable at all and it doesn't seem to be developed and maintained by people who understand or care about safety. The centralized systems are much safer for users because you only have to trust the admins of the centralized servers.

    Fediverse's Achilles heel is trust and all the convo and discussion about it is extremely dismissive and superficial about the realities of how the centralized systems became they way they are--much safer against stalking and mobs. Fediverse mostly gets away with this by being small and fringe.

    The fundamental flaw is laid bare every time a site defederates another about because of safety issues. It's a tacit concession that the federation model and implementation is not safe. If you have to defederate everyone to ensure user safety, then why bother with the fediverse in the first place? This is the core problem with the fediverse as it exists today.

    • What can you tell me about Bluesky?

    Jump

  • A few podcasts I listen to have switched to calling their bluesky handles out instead of their twitter handles in their outros. I'll probably install it and delete ex/twitter when I get an invite.

    • Elon Musk railed against shadow bans—now he’s using them on his critics

  • He also shrieked about bots, and now he parades his own around.

    • Most and Least Verbose Programming Languages

  • I'm not familiar with code.golf but I wonder how whitespace is handled? I find python is very concise anyway, but I wonder how the white space is counted (single tab, four spaces for black, etc).

    • You Can't Look at Porn on Any Reddit Third-Party App Now

    Jump

  • You just need to be a moderator of any subreddit. The subreddit itself doesn't need to be NSFW. The idea is that moderators could have a need to evaluate NSFW content on user profiles to make moderation decisions.

    • Should we clone reddit posts?

    Jump

  • I don't like the idea. It seems like those fake websites that scrape stackoverflow and SEO to ruin Google search. Avoiding those sites are among the reasons people type "reddit" into searches. People want authentic interactions and I think mirroring reddit into Fediverse lacks authenticity and undermines its authenticity. Content here should be from people who are here.

    If someone wants to assimilate content from reddit into something new and post it here that's good. That means the person is here and can be interacted with.

    If someone wants to repost their own content here, that's also fine. They are here to interact with.

    I just really think it's a bad idea to deliberately build a ghost town and think people will move in.
