Yers, algorithmic content discovery should happen client side and all the machinery of this algorithm should have its knobs and levers exposed to the user.

I even want a checkbox “show deleted content”

And that’s not lemmy (and every social network’s) only fatal flaw

Lemmy was founded on the idra that we should be able to escape tyrannical admins like the homunculus /u/spez but it only moved the choke point to the moderators of centralized communities.

It is an improvement to be sure, but it really lacks the teeth to check the power of moderators because one crucial missing feature and that is

Automatic, default community aggregation view

Like imagibe the community called /c/books

Notice that this was not a link. There is no /c/books community of lemmy.

There are book communities on certain servers.

And suppose you want to browse or post to “books”, if you are a normal person you will search for books community and you will go to the most active one.

This is your typical power concentration pattern. You are certainly free to browse the 10 user books community, but most people who post there are posting to a microscopic proportion of the lemmy “books” audience.

You would be posting to those few people who change defaults, a largely insignifiant minority of people, you might as well be talking to no one at all.

I think instead this /c/books

Should have been a clickable link, and link should show you every post in every books in every instance.

Without that “automatic community aglomeration as a default view”** and seamless account migration, I think lemmy is destined to become a reddit with extra steps. And it will not thrive as it should.

** this is distinct to the “multireddit” concept which is a simple convenience feature that less than 1% of users would know to seek out and setup, therefore it cannot change moderator incentives and peovide general users a way to escape their dominating censorship.

Censorship on lemmy is rampant. Even on those instances where modlog is visible.

Not that modlog is anything user friendly. Severely lacking in search and filtering capability it also seems most modlog actions are autopurged, so if you’re not keeping up with your modlog on a weekly basis then you’re not getting a picture of just how much skewed your picture of reality is being shaped and skewed by the moderators of your instance.

Moderation calls itself janitorial, but they are the enginneer of tge digital reality you choose to inhabit.

Despite the “checkbox transparency” of lemmy this is not the cure-all we all wish it were.

First and foremost, you are a prisoner here the more you participate, the more you have to lose. Because lemmy does not have any kind of seamless account migration. So watch your thoughts or else you could be sent to the memory hole.

And then we have the dirty trick of “rules” and as we all know, these are cover stories for silencing voices while quieting the voices that remain, by telling them "you are not at risk, YOU wouldn’t ‘spread misinformation’ " or whatever.

If you want to play a game, read your community rulea and try to find which one is the catch all rules. All rulesets have catchalls that can be argued into justifying any moderator actions.

And all of that applies to good faith moderation. Bad faith moderation doesn’t have to convince itself of its fair neutrality, it will just use these same system knowingly to obfuscate its own actions.

We really should have m.2 insertable disks that plug directly into pcie1x bus

Would this license create complication in case someone wants to fork the project ? Usually, this is the safety of using open source software, should the original dev team go rouge, a team of blue dev might assemble and fork the project to at least prevent regression of capabilities.

I too feel an unarticulated "ick*, there is something dangerous, along with not really open sourxe license. Can’t quite put my finger on it. Some potential loss of autonomy.

So, can’t fork if they throw users under the bus?

If ee could talk to them we would give them money to buy their food in exchange for more obedience and convenience.

We could probably get some of them to participate in basic farm labour and keep some of them in check.

Technically it won’t be exactly you as they’ll genetically change you to be more docile

Even back then some door lock remotes had the option to hold down unlock to roll down all windows. Not super useful feature and remember using it.

I am going to laser off the optics from all russian eks early launch warning satellites at the next moment of tension between the empires.

Don’t worry that’s the parts they will genetically modify to make you more docile and servile.

In 30 years they’re going to squirt genetically modified copies of you into corporate artificial uteruses and that’s how they will meet their worker needs.

The VC and founders should be painlessly deboned.

If this is considered a problem of individual personnal responsibility then I will trigger stateccollapse because we don’t need it if it can’t send goon to those duckers and stop the transfer then we don’t need those ducking statist vampire to go on living for one more microsecond

It’s not a individual problem of personnal responsibility

AS soon as the data is secured, enprison the buyers

Thanks, that was spund advice. I do like my keyboard, but I always bottom the key still. The “step” of 45g is still to subtle to me to register reliably.

I went back to my old keyboard and I like the feel more for typing still.

But I want to run an advanced open source firmware in my keyboard and have individual leds to tell me what state/layer that keyboard is in.

If only they remained small competing cells. But nearly always grows more and eat the others. Then the big cells say they have to make their employees piss in bottles to survive. They use the arguments of what small cells do to survive to justify the business model that made them huge and allowed them to kill all the small cells.

It’s an arms race dynamic of cut-throatedness where the biggest bastard is favored to win.

What a shit system. What a terrible and disgusting infection of the human mind.

Well creating an opposibg empire didn’t work out so great.

Capitalism is a belief system, you can’t beat ideas with guns.

There’s not going to be an anti-imperialist empire that successfully ends imperialism.

It exist only because it’s population is cajoled into accepting it as the only viable, profitable option.

Concentration of power is the social disease, it creates a “all the eggs in one basket” situation where one bandit can seize control of the whole.

It is a strange paradox that a society built on individual responsibility would be corrupted and usurped by its cooperation mechanism. And that the path to a semblance of decency is to cut down on cooperation to disempower those at the grotesque top.

And then maintain taboos to prevent tge concentrations fromvforming again. BECAUSE they are too profitable and power.

Make CEO a crime, make presidents weak, cut off the heads of kings.
