I had this conversation on mastodon a month ago:

NSFW is too broad for a tag. We should move on from it and redefined content warning tag specific to the content.

(Sorry I can’t find the convo my instance muted mastodon.social so posts are not being displayed. It’s a mess)

human are omnivore, it's a biological trait not a diet. Being omnivore doesn't mean that you need to consume animal products, in the contrary, it means that you can avoid them and still strive, as opposed as carnivore.

own your choices, plain and simple. don't blame other for taking action to reduce suffering, CO2 and waste of ressources.

yes, on Mastodon when a user block an instance, it's more like a mute than a block. Your posts will still be available to them, but you won't see their content.

The only solution if you want to protect your content from being shared on an instance is to block it at the instance level AND that the instance use Authorised Fetch.

Not all instances have this feature on.

if you setup tags for a magazine on kbin, posts being published in the fediverse with those tags end up in the Microblog section. just check it.

I totally understand your point of view and think that your perception is valid. If you try to analyse why you find them preachy and judgemental it could be interesting.

For example would find them so annoying if you agree with them? Is it the discourse that annoys you or the person? Is it your belief system being challenged that annoys you or the facts that are being stated?

It's always intersting to understand why we feel that way when we are challenged, and veganism is one of a few topic that can create what we called in psychology reactance, an interesting topic.

Veganism is really different than religion tho, cause it is totally backed by science (regarding food production, waste issue, C02 and sentientism) and a logic construct.

I’ve read that it doesn’t have e2ee in its specs. Google has a proprietary tweak enabling it but Apple will stick to RSC specs.

Let’s hope that RSC gets e2ee asap.

I think that this button defederate your content, not the content from other instances.

if you want to block another instance, you can click on its domain name (between bracket) and block it. like you'll block usual magazine

you can also type this in your url to access a domain : https://kbin.social/d/name of the domain like kbin.social or lemmy.whatever

then you can check the magazines and domains you blocked in your profile's settings.

but it's still a bit buggy and need some work to work correctly.

EDIT: this doesn't block the instance, but only the domain. new tool coming soon, confirmed by the main dev:

domain blocking existed long before federation. It serves as a way to block sources like youtube.com, spotify.com. Blocking instances will be a separate option in the user profile soon. I will submit a pull request.

I think that first, things need to settle down. We don't have yet moderating tools. And the website is still under construction.

A lottery is not a great idea because just picking up people randomly won't work, you need to know of the technical aspect of things work. And also some people may join with not good intent at all. So it could have catastrophic results.

I guess it will be pretty simple to come up with mod guiding rules, and if anyone has an issue with moderation you can simply contact the instance admin and settle things.

but as for right now we are still in the early stage of this website, so patience.

edit: just though about the comparison with jury duty, I guess you are talking about the USA in this example. a lot of countries doesn't have a jury of peer, and they are good reason for that.

you click on the "crossed" O . the same way you block a magazine or an user.

https://kbin.social/m/kbinfaqs@kilioa.org is a good place for knowledge

cattle.

Apple Music pays two time what Spotify does. Easy pick between the two.

and close your window

I came to the fediverse in 2017, so nothing to do with reddit or meta or twitter.

The fact is here, we have a choice. So you do you.

On mastodon I have an account on an instance that blocked meta and is using authorised fetch (so the proper way to block a domain) : great, my content won't go there or on any other blocked domains : it's my choice.

I have another account on another instance that didn't blocked meta : great, my content will be shared with threads users and I will be able to browse threads.

Choice, isn't it great?

ok thanks for the precision

you can check this theme https://kbin.social/m/logicpro

and everything is still being developed. the fediverse experience is going to be better and better.

it may have the same effect but it's not the same feature. if you block domains, like you block magazines or users, you get to have an ensemble view of all those in your user settings. that kinda make sense.

and I can't find where the instances defederated with your technique are listed. maybe you know where?

edit: syntax

I don't thing that your assumption is correct. One can open a magazine without the envy to control discourse and have censorship power.

So for me your thesis is therefor already flawed.

That being said I think that the lottery system is very interesting. I know some politic and apolitical groups who use it, and the ideal is appealing. I'm also very curious about how effective it is in reality. It may be counterintuitively worst than most classic systems of representation. (I personally don't think that it's a good system for justice.)

But as for right now, it's too early to try to implement such a things, in my opinion. But I welcome the conversation and I'm thankful that you started it.

you could to type m/community@lemmy.instance after your kbin instance domain.

like to open technology@beehaw.org

https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org

edit : it seems that it doesn't work if the community is not federated yet.

To make it obvious to everyone it could be simply coded in the app. You could choose a category when posting then choose a category as an user.

Yes I’ll correct my post

unfortunately he's not one of the interesting co-author of the protocol. too self centred.

he surely knows the tech. what's concerning is how he's blocking anyone trying to contribute to work on it if it doesn't fit his agenda. very concerning and self centred. a total waste.

I'm always amazed about how we use the term "humanly" to express kindness. doesn't seems to fit the actual behaviour of the species indeed.

Nah

I don't think that it's off topic at all, in the contrary. If you analyse the situation described by the OP, the issue is not the fact that our actions are transparents, the issue is due to the consequence of downvoting a post and how this action made another person feel and how they acted on this feeling.

Downvoting is not a constructive tool and should be abolished. It's not a matter of the users not using it the right way, it's a matter of psychological behaviour.

We should design tools that help us to bring the best in us, not the worst. We are not here on a commercial platform who need to hook us with dopamine shot, and trigger us on engaging by frustrating us. We need to build things differently. Federating servers is great but not enough.

I think that an option to be able to remove the display of the downvote tool and downvote count should be available in the settings. I would like to abolish it all together but I'm not interested to impose this on other users, so bring me an opt out please.

what do you think @ernest? let's change this paradigm and build another better tool?

protecting your content from being pushed to an instance that you though your blocked.
protecting your content from being shared where you though it won't because of the way things are worded.

I remember playing online on Unreal Tournament on the first iMac. it was a blast.

I had to stop playing for my parent to make a phone call tho.

where did you see that the fedipact main purpose was to impose defederation? that would be rich.

2 more...

Yes and that’s their right.

But thankfully they don’t impose anything to anyone. You had me worried for a minute.

define these people. define these instances. etc etc

what's your point? anyone can do a screen shot and share it too.

if you want to have a conversation about the content of my post, please keep it on topic : without authorised fetch and a domain blocked at the instance level, the content is pushed.

if you have technical knowledge to add to this or can correct me about the protocol I'm glad to hear it. if not I'm not interested.

upvote or downvote are not good indicator of the quality of a post. a controversial point of view can be of quality but still being downvoted.

I guess if you enable it on your device you are safe, but if your content is on another device that doesn't enable it (it's an opt in option), your content will be available.

could someone explain me how to subscribe to magasine that are not on kbin. I'm on kbin.social and when I clic on a link that is on Lemmy I can't subscribe, I need to log into Lemmy.

The dev from Mlem (iOS app for Lemmy) said that it’s not possible to log into kbin from his app because of some code limitations. It’s sad that app made for Lemmy aren’t compatible with kbin. But I don’t know maybe it’s obvious that both are different 🤷‍♂️

this argument that non industrial cattle is sustainable is totally moot. please check the literature available.

they are great conversations about why people are so annoyed by vegans and most of the time it's not because vegans are harassing or pushing their agenda, it's more a question of how we perceive ourself when comparing ourself to others.

it's due to cognitive dissonance.

kbin is another platform federated with lemmy and other platform from the fediverse. not the same project than lemmy.
