Just a tip for any new developers in the Fediverse space:

If you're making any sort of "search" function to browse Fediverse posts, make sure that it respects people's "Discoverability" settings in the Mastodon software.

This might not be the easiest thing to do.

However, given that 73% of people on Fediverse are interacting with Fedi strictly through Mastodon, you don't have much choice.

If your project gets widely known and you're disrespecting people's privacy options, you'll be highly vilified and probably Fedi cancelled.

Does the feature that makes posts based on hashtags come from Mbin or just Fedi.io specifically?

It's quite annoying to have people constantly attempting to dunk on you for upvotes and failing.

Might have to block Fedia.io

I suspect this will go there so hi fedia...๐Ÿ˜’

I wish there was an easy way to browse threads Fediverse content.

I'm sure there's many accounts that have federated that I'd enjoy, but I don't know they're federated or even know that they exist.

Same for bluesky.

I could go there, but there's no way to tell who's federated.๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Kinda weird and sus that some Mastodon instances aren't respecting deletes....

Had a post I deleted last week that just got replied to, from a mastodon instance.

And people wonder why casual users don't wanna be here...๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Apparently I have a habit of finding out about Fedi projects ahead of time. Causing me to get excited and leak them before they're announced.๐Ÿ˜…

That's either whoops or hurray!

Still trying to judge which it is.๐Ÿคฃ

Posted about BridgyFed before Ryan announced it was live and just found out I posted about sub.club before it was announced officially.

Ya'll not very good at hiding things tbh! :kek:

As a single user instance, I'm glad to see something slighly positive from Mastodon finally.

Still no word on better moderation tools for small instances, though.

Maybe someday.

How the whole "open communication across platforms" is going...๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Just seen someone unironically call Fediverse, "The Mastodon Network".

I don't have the energy to correct them anymore.

I, for one, refuse to bow to Mastodon overlords.

To each their own though.๐Ÿ˜‘

When discussing BlueSky, it's not entirely correct to say that "everyone is on the same server".

I used to think the same way.

However, I've been informed over time, by very knowledgeable people that it's more complicated than that.

If you're knowledgeable about Fediverse and how the protocol works and are interested in a comparison, I posted a detailed explanation of my understanding of how BlueSky works and what I believe are it's shortcomings here:

@Drunemeton you're welcome, and thank you for the reassurance, friend.๐Ÿซก

Did you know that Pleroma, a Fediverse software, has the option to make "followers only" posts that reach their instance, public on their instance if they choose?

They can also automatically deny deletion requests if they want.

It's always important to remember that there's very little privacy on the internet. If you post something, even if it may seem private, always has several ways of going public and existing forever.

Pretty much everything on the internet is public and will not be deleted on request.

Screenshots and internet archive also exist.

If you don't want your post to be seen by most people, don't post it.

You are not safe just because the software or platform you're using says you are.

Just about to watch @chiefgyk3d@social.chiefgyk3d.com's recent video on the Fediverse!

I'm sure it'll be good. He's very knowledgeable in this space.

He was and still is one of my first friends here and I'm glad to have him a part of my Fediverse experience.

If you're interested, that link is https://youtube.com/watch?v=9W2xFlOiaKc

I'm always pretty sad when I go back and check on new users that I had welcomed and suggested they post an introduction, only to realize they never did and never made another post....

I have a feeling some of those people are the "Fediverse is too confusing!" People, yet they don't even try.๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@Lost_My_Mind yeah, just reporting.

I want to do the actual judgement, but if I don't know the post exists, I can't judge anything and it makes me so mad that possible racist stuff can exist on my instance without my knowledge because I havent "seen" it.

@cm0002 no, I want automated reports.

A user using the n word, full on with the hard R, isn't gonna be a good post. It should be automatically reported to me so that I can judge context and take action.

If a user doesn't report it, I won't see it.

I'm on my own instance, I am the user.

If I don't report it, nobody sees it.

That's dumb.

@AterNox @dch82 blocking and reporting work fine.

However, people from corporate social media won't report posts because in their experience, it either doesn't get taken seriously or the admins ignore it. Corporate social media sites don't exactly act on reports in a timely manner.

I'm on my own instance, I moderate for myself. I don't want slurs to exist on my instance at all. However, if I don't see them with my own eyes, I cannot ban the user.

PS. I'm talking about banning users that are harassing others on the instance level. These are user actions. I am an admin. I run my own instance.

@maegul @fediverse yeah...in interest of fairness, I did ask him for a comment on the situation before I went public with the information, but he completely ignored me so after 3 days I had to make a public statement on it.๐Ÿ˜”

Me asking him: https://social.beaware.live/@BeAware/112914020692638023

Me making it public: https://social.beaware.live/@BeAware/112922757724465742

I can only do so much "investigating" before making it known.

They said 'full federation by the end of 2024' but who the hell am I kidding, we can't trust a thing they say...๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We can only wait and see.
