I really think a lot of this problem could be easily engineered away by turning off downvotes from external instances or something similar. But the way lemmy development is going, I’m not holding my breath for those options. If we end up getting a piefed instance, I’ll think I’ll be recommending all the genAI communities move there.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5038 adds this, 1.0 only unfortunately, but looking at the code it looks like you could get away with backporting it.

TBF, Chrome doesn't support it on Linux either.

God, this thread is awful. People will really find any excuse to be transphobic/shitty in general. I might be one of these 'anti-AI trolls' (which I'll admit is half right), but this reaction is completely out of proportion and in no way acceptable. I'm sorry Mystic and the dbzero team are having to deal with this (again).

It does feel like she's conflating colourism with racism. Some of the most abhorrent things I've heard people say are against travellers and it's hard not to call that racism. These were 'normal' people who genuinely think they're not racist. I feel like if black people felt so alienated from wider society that only 1/5-1/4 of them could read she would have no problem (rightly) calling this an issue of systemic racism.

He's actually already the most popular politician on TikTok.

Coming in 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5601

Not helpful now obviously, but nice that's it's already implemented.

I’m a bit burnt out of trying to have alternatives to lemmy.ml communities.

I can understand that, it is an uphill battle. !linux@programming.dev at least is doing well.

It's just annoying from a user perspective to have to keep up with all this intricate instance politics for a single comm. Maybe p.dev is the right choice just because it's so uncontroversial so won't cause issues.

It does seem to be an ideological opposition to db0's AI stance, though it doesn't really make sense to me because, like you said, c/privacy doesn't have anything to do with AI: https://lemmy.nz/comment/15894250

I can't really see the benefit in bending over backwards to accommodate someone who won't even communicate.

IRRC, there's some issues with reports federating but I think those got fixed, but the sidebar of !communityrequest@sh.itjust.works says to have an account there.

Yeah they seem to be, I'll open an SJW account and ask to have the comm transferred.

Perfect moderation doesn't exi-

Let’s say tomorrow the feddit.uk team decides to self host a PDS provider.

Is it possible for the feddit.uk team to ban someone, or can that only be done by Bluesky? Would that ban be federated to other PDS providers?

We could stop hosting the account and purge it from our DB, though IRRC the user can migrate to a new host and have Bluesky populate that with their old data, because everything is public on AT and is kept in Bluesky's relay (I think this is a bad thing, just fyi). The user would still be banned from the various labelers as these operate (I presume) on the accounts DID, which should stay the same across migration. PDS providers don't talk to each other, PDS don't do much so don't really need to. They just store data.

Edit: I feel like Bluesky has the same issue than the Fediverse has with federated bans and alts, but because everybody uses Bluesky’s centralized components, nobody notices.

Bluesky does genuinely have some better moderation tools, labelers are something I think even us on Lemmy/PieFed/whatever might want to look at. But these aren't magic and there's plenty of toxicity on Bluesky, Bluesky just gives you some more tools to help manage it. When Mastodon gets the ability to disable replies I think will help a lot.

It was a response to openly mocking people’s choice to raise their children Christian.

It really wasn't: https://p.feddit.uk/post/feddit.uk/31856602?thread=0.18336647#18336647

The premise of the meme is that's it's hypocritical to think that children can't understand the ideas of being gay or trans, but somehow can decide to be Christian. Your response is mostly non sequitur and implies it's actively dangerous to teach kids about gay people.

Bluesky's network topology doesn't work like APub's, so this question doesn't really make sense. Like, what is the 'instance' here? The relay? The users' PDS? The AppView? I suppose the PDS provider could ban a user and this would then be indexed by the relay(s). We can argue all day about how decentralised the AT Protocol is, but Bluesky the platform makes no effort to be decentralised.

By decentralised I mean a platform controlled by multiple independent actors, a multi-stakeholder platform. Even if you use a non-Bluesky the company relay + app view, it's still centralised around whoever is hosting those.

However, Chris Weston, its chief executive, told MPs that the company needed an exemption from the £1.4 billion in fines he expects the regulators, Ofwat and the Environment Agency, to impose for future breaches of environmental and performance rules.

Won't somebody think of the poor company facing the consequences of its own actions.

Labour really went from repealing Section 28 to introducing a whole new one. How we've let this childish and anti-science notion that 'biological sex' is static become so pervasive is seriously depressing. Claiming someone's 'biological sex' is only ever the same as the one they had at birth is like insisting an adult only weighs 4 KG.

The Guardian in typical fashion quoted two trans hate groups who of course prefers the Tories even more anti-trans guidance.

Then there's this part, from section 68:

Schools should ensure that they cover all the facts about sexual health, including STIs, in a way that is relevant for all pupils, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or gender questioning.

So a kid can't be trans, only gender questioning. Thanks Labour, really committing to your manifesto pledge to 'protecting the freedom for people to explore their sexual orientation and gender identity".

Yeah, this an us thing, not a PieFed bug. We use this nginx bot blocker to help stop AI scrapers from ruining the server, and we have the following IP ranges blocked:

There's also a whitelist-ips that lets us override the above, and I even had your instance in it with 2a03:4000:2a:305:24dd:dff:fe98:8ce6 1; # https://palaver.p3x.de/, but that 1 needs to be a zero. I've changed it so it should work now, sorry about that.

Inaccurate, it should be return 1 and return 0 for the true 20 years at Blizzard quality.
