I don't think the folks that have those sorts of qualms are necessarily the people to go after. I think the prime targets should be field experts. They were essential in establishing Reddit's utility in the early days and there seem to be a fairly significant number of them over on Mastodon in search of deeper conversation.

Everybody's subscribe page is different. It will get bumped in active and new comments on Lemmy as I understand them. This feels like the intended use case for those sorts.

Are you seriously suggesting the Red Scare was fine because two superpowers were, in fact, engaged in espionage against each other?

[-] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

If you look here you will see that there was discussion over there about it https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/682757

Thank god. I've been waiting for somebody to revive this project for YEARS

[-] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

Post y'all. Everybody's still sorting by new and new comments. Now's the time to make it happen.

PeerTube focused community? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1003699

Is there a community for peertube similar to !mastodon@lemmy.ml? I feel like peertube could really use some sort of lemmy driven community engagement. Particularly because it integrates so well into lemmy. It reminds me of an old extension that would replace youtube comments with reddit discussions when available.

Currently have only used Jerboa on mobile but it does not seem to have any tablet specific formatting. What apps are you guys using on tablet?

I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.

Can't believe I haven't seen this said here but check against other instances. Some instances have stuff in the trending tab set to manual approval. I've noticed this in particular with my trending tab posts section on tech.lgbt

What's worse, they'll do it if somebody from Threads interacts with YOU

[-] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

There's absolutely no reason it has to or should.

[-] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

This is crazy to me. All this time there's been a 20k user instance out there just chilling by itself, and we may all start talking to each other one day.

Threads Monetization Fears (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Has anybody considered the idea that boosts from non-Meta properties to Threads could legally be used to build ad profiles? We already know they do that sort of account association with non-fedi accounts.

EDIT: Looks like that's absolutely the plan. From the privacy policy

"Information From Third Party Services and Users: We collect information about the Third Party Services and Third Party Users who interact with Threads. If you interact with Threads through a Third Party Service (such as by following Threads users, interacting with Threads content, or by allowing Threads users to follow you or interact with your content), we collect information about your third-party account and profile (such as your username, profile picture, IP address, and the name of the Third Party Service on which you are registered), your content (such as when you allow Threads users to follow, like, reshare, or have mentions in your posts), and your interactions (such as when you follow, like, reshare, or have mentions in Threads posts).

We use the information we collect for Threads for the purposes described in the Meta Privacy Policy, including to provide, personalize, and improve Threads and other Meta Products (including seamless personalization of your experience across Threads and Instagram), to provide measurement, analytics and other business services (including ads), to promote safety, integrity and security, to communicate with you, and to research and innovate for social good."

https://help.instagram.com/515230437301944?helpref=faq_content

EDIT 2: After doing a little more thinking, I've come to the conclusion that the general narrative about Threads plan to steal users from similar federated services ignore the fact that it's certainly cheaper to let the volunteers of the fediverse take on the moderation costs while they monetize the data. Though the two certainly are not mutually exclusive.

Important not to conflate your servers downtime with network downtime.

Men's Lib (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Does anybody know of an equivalent to /r/menslib? I think a strong egalitarian community for men could easily become a cornerstone of the threadiverse.

Why YSK: By using the built in cross post function users will be shown a link to the same post on other communities. This lets users quickly see what people in other communities are saying and also has the potential to expose someone to something new. For community owners this is a great way to go about seeding discussion in new communities.

Example:

Note: I only have experience with lemmy, if anybody else knows how it works on kbin please comment.
