For CSAM in the US, you have to have actual knowledge to be responsible for reporting. If you view the image or it is reported, you must act. Its pretty much the same for DMCA.

When releasing art, I recommend using a Creative Commons license such as “CC BY 4.0”. They have a license chooser you can use.

Apps like Signal and iMessage allow any emoji. I don’t have a strong opinion about a limited set vs any defined in Unicode.

 

I would like to propose replacing up and down voting on comments with emoji reactions. Since Lemmy doesn’t have a consequential karma system, I don’t believe the gamification of comment upvotes helps engender a discussion with a diversity of opinions. Instead of a binary choice, we will be able to express a far greater range of reactions. I see emojis as being especially helpful as a replacement for downvotes since it will help the author understand why the reader disagrees. While I agree that replying instead of downvoting is a better choice, it’s not realistic for everyone to have the time to do so.

For posts, voting serves a useful purpose in creating a curated list of most popular posts in each community. This is important for people who don’t have time to follow all posts in their subscribed communities.

I don’t think Lemmy instance admins are colluding in a secret underground lair like a group of supervillains. There is no point since the decision of one has no impact on the others.

Second, many of us aren’t here for the “features”, we’re here for the freedom.

My personal opinion is that I have no problem if my instance federates with Threads as long as the interactions are a net positive for us. If Threads users prove to be abusive then I have no problem defederating with them.

I think that would only work when the number of instances is small. Two solutions to this might be:

  • have instances act like relays where the home instance of a community notifies 10 instances and then each of those instances notifies 10 instances, etc.
  • batch updates on a timer such that once a minute all posts, comments, boosts, etc within a minutes are buffered and sent together.

After Apollo’s API token was invalid, I deleted my account. I know it’s a minuscule drop in the ocean for Reddit, but not matter, I’m with Lemmy and the fediverse come what may.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED that killing the API would lead to web scraping! That was a completely unpredictable outcome.

Yes, with a major caveat. An instance will search only communities that at least one user on the instance is subscribed to and only as far back as the time the first user on the instance subscribed to the community.

I’ve always been confused why Google keeps Waze and Maps completely separate. Google Maps interface with Waze crowd sourcing would be killer.

I used to love Etsy for true, handmade items. Now I have to wade through a sea of drop shipped AliExpress crap.

By default, federation is disabled and the admin must enable it. Private instance and federation are mutually exclusive.
