Very cool, glad you're back!

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the update. The outbound queue is held in RAM ... what could possibly go wrong? 😂

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks Kaiity and Ada for all your hard work on this!!!!!

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

💯. The mod tooling is virtually non-existent so there aren’t any other viable options

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

As a long-time fediverse user, based on your description of the situation here, it sounds like you made a good decision. If and when they get a hand on their moderation issues you can refedederate. As you say current tools are minimal, and defederation is a very blunt tool, but it’s the only option in a situation like this.

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

Good perspectives, I totally agree it’ll be a big challenge here as the fediverse gets bigger. Mastodon’s already had a couple of waves of spam - Brian Krebs had a good article a few weeks ago

If it’s straightforward, I’d Very much support this!

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Agreed. There's a similar issue on Mastodon that's been confusing people for years and still hasn't been addressed, let's hope Lemmy prioritizes it a bit more!

Timely! Are you planning on doing kbin as well?

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

💯. With Mastodon, it turned out that "just pick an instance" was disastrously bad advice for many people -- if you pick a badly-moderated instance, or one that's widely blocked, you're a lot less likely to have a good first experience. My guess is that'll be equally true here once things get a bit farther down the line.

[–] jdp23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Yes and no. In the article I say

| Still, despite the quirks, once you figure a few things out, both Kbin and Lemmy can give you a surprisingly good reddit-like experience, and some of the larger communities have over a thousand active users which isn't chopped liver.

That said ....

  • on lemmy.ml this post says it has 10 comments but only 8 are visible. Looking at it on blahaj.lemmy.zone it says 15 comments, also only 8 are visible.

  • Your comment showed up on Lemmy and (unlike other comments) didn't show up on @thenexusofprivacy@infosec.social's original post.

  • Even if you have a Mastodon account, if you click on that link it'll most likely take you to a tab where you're not logged in and can't interact with it unless you know the magic way of cut-and-pasting it to the search window in a tab where you're already logged in -- and your account's not on a site that's defederated from infosec.exchange

Most people (including me!) find stuff like that very confusing!

That's great to hear -- and well said @Zoop@beehaw.org. Burnout's a huge risk in situations like this, so very glad you're taking care of yourself.
