Interesting! Look’s really cool

I migrated over to writefreely, here’s the new link. https://my.jewy.blog/my-love-hate-relationship-with-lemmy

I wish you the best of luck on this and I truly hope you do this, but this is what the lead dev of Sublinks tried to do. That’s the missing piece here. He tried making an external mod tooling system. Maybe you’ll have better luck than he did. I really hope you do.

It especially leads to harassment of vulnerable people. There’s many aspects of moderation that is done here that if implemented in other fediverse software would become a vector for Kiwifarms level harassment.

The thing is, sublinks lead developer tried to work with development team of lemmy. It was like pulling teeth constantly and his experience was overall negative.

It can be a source of harassment to not be able to anonymize actions.

It can become a source of targeted harassment, as it has on the rest of the fediverse before.

I agree quite a bit with your second point, as someone who used to run a Minecraft server long long long ass it was quite bad.

And yeah, I think there will be solid reasons to get users to migrate. But for the most part it wont really be needed as instances themselves will be able to convert lemmy instances to sublinks instances eventually. It wont require much effort from users unless they want to switch instances entirely.

For context, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to lemmy admin stuff especially in the matrix channels. There is a significant frustration and lack of confidence in the lemmy developers at this point. Even those who try to contribute to the project get eventually feeling pushed out.

Welcome to the hell of being a lemmy admin. There’s a reason why lemmy admins are fed up with the developers.

Just a bunch of Japanese script kiddies targetting the fediverse and its network for some reason. There’s active measures being taken and thankfully many instances are monitoring it pretty well.

Will there eventually be a means of converting lemmy instances over to sublinks? I know that inter instance software migration is a nightmare though.

Do you know what kiwifarms is? Just curious.

There are aspects of the wider fediverse culture that is ignored on lemmy, and thankfully its lack of interoperability has helped it avoid trouble (for now). I’m really not sure how to explain to you how it could be used for harassment as it requires a bit of detailed background to how the wider fediverse functions and its history and I don’t really know if it would convince you if I did explain it in enough detail. Just because data is publicly scrape-able doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to do so.

Oh my God. This is really, really, REALLY bad. I know this looks like a useful tool but extending this to software that isn’t lemmy is going to make the rest of the fediverse enraged. Tools like these are used as active harassment vectors. Theres a reason why the other fediverse instances that make these tools are affiliated with kiwifarms. Seriously please consider disabling non-lemmy software interaction immediately!

i hope it is due to my library or cat posts and not my occasional cursed shitposts

unironically loving the way it gives me a double notification on lemmy

With Tumblr the bugs became features, so its only right for the fediverse version to do the same.

People will take the harassment off site especially if they are dedicated enough or use it to scrape for potential personal info to publicly release.

There are instances on the fediverse that have harassed people to their deaths before. So…
