Yeah unfortunately I can’t because I’m on Friendica and Lemmy is annoying in that it treats images differently from the rest of the Fediverse.

This link should work: files.catbox.moe/stvn1w.jpg

Sure thing, here you go:

No complaints so far. I’m not using many new features, but I really like the new user interface.

Okay, that’s entirely fair. I was mostly thinking about the microblogging side of the Fediverse and didn’t quite consider the complexity that it would add to community moderation. I guess better moderation mechanisms could probably account for that, but Lemmy is as of now far away from that.

Edit: One might also solve that by not allowing soft defederated users to post in local communities.

Well I said that illegal content should still be defederated. And I don’t think soft defederated content has to be moderated, since it’s only a number of users who choose to see it.

Clarification, because people keep misunderstanding my point: What I’m advocating for is replacing most defederation with some sort of “soft defederation” in which instance admins can select domains which are blocked by default for the users, but which they can unblock afterwards if they want to.

No, I mean that admins select instances that are blocked by default for users. Kinda like a soft defederation.

I hear you, and that’s why I’m suggesting the implementation of default instance blocks before more open federation.

If you have a criticism, I’m all ears.

Yes, and instance blocking would solve that as well because the users wouldn’t see those comments.

Me too. I’m simply trying to spark ideas for devs to give admins more options for how they can run their instances (and also trying to convince admins about what’s best for the Fediverse).

There are great sites like fediseer.com to keep track of suspicious instances. And if those users see illegal content they can report it to the admins.

Good question. Tagging @timbray so that he can answer.

Content isn’t cached unless someone follows it anyways.

And I’m not sure what you mean with that latter part; what difference would this make in what content admins can see before they cast their judgement on a server?

Thanks a lot for this list! My only comment is that I prefer Mull over Fennec because it’s a lot more hardened.

@clgoh They haven’t even embraced yet and they’re extending already. Nice.

@ttmrichter
Well it’s not an actual issue; it’s just my ideas of what would be better. If only I think it, why should they do anything? What I’m really trying to do is to see what people think and spark some thoughts.

I’d like to add that the developers’ communication channels is a very inappropriate place to complain for someone who is uninvolved with the project.

(And you can tell that this is primarily directed at Mastodonians because the title is also the first line, because of the seemingly excessive explanation of how this place works and because of the hashtags and the mentions in the end of the post. Also, why would I specifically write to fedi tips if this was just a Lemmy post?)

Developing is not for everyone.

And I posted this in microblog format via Friendica specifically so that it would also (primarily) reach Mastodon. It’s got 27 boosts, which is quite alright for such a long post!

@ttmrichter
Yes, donating helps them develop the project, which is great and I encourage everyone who can to do so, but it doesn’t change the direction of the development. Mastodon is ultimately people powered, making spreading sentiments a reasonable way to change this, if you’re not going to develop the project yourself.
