Yes.

Thank you for your patience. I’d have lost my cool a long time ago.

Instructions unclear. Trunk stuck in the keyboard.

And keywords. I’m not interested in Musk or Zuckerberg in any way. Most of the articles mentioning their names in the title are just sensationalist clickbait anyway.

Isn’t that mainly a problem with recursive DNS servers? The authoritative servers are only aware of the few domains they’re hosting.

Activision, Steam, and GameFAQs all combine their forums about it?

That would be pretty great, tbh. But what many demand is more like cross platform multi-player than this.

If I play Overwatch, I want to be matched with other people playing Overwatch. I don’t care what network or platform they use to access the game.

Additionally, you could even automate certain decisions. Let’s say you are a pro-monarchy activist instance, and there is a post with title “Digest the aristocracy”, containing pictures of peasants playing football with the king’s head.

You could’ve easily set the following rule: if mods from both hermajesty.co.uk and puppiesandkittens.org flags the post, AND freedomforpeasants.com does not, auto-flag the post here as well.

In this scenario, even the “enemy” instance is making it easier for you to make the decision.

You can’t force collaboration

You can. There’s always the lowest common denominator. If there’s a guy peddling viagra pills in the astronomy community, it’s clearly offtopic. Most mods would flag the post regardless of their political or ideological affiliation. That takes care of the obvious spam.

• cooperation = advantage
• noncooperation = no advantage nor disadvantage

instances that have different views and rules on moderation

And that’s ok. They will do as they always did. Hide posts, or users that violates their terms of service

• cooperation = advantage
• noncooperation = no advantage nor disadvantage

I 100% agree that what you suggest could be a valid usecase. However, from my subjective point of view, people are not using it that way. Let me present an example.

There are 12 communities dedicated to Bitcoin in general. I can’t imagine 12 different points of view to discuss this topic from. Lemmy.ml somehow has 3, but 2 of them are completely empty.

All of these are mere duplicates of each other. Let’s put the technical difficulties aside, and imagine we have a global namespace, and each instance just has it’s own mod team to which users would auto-subscribe (with an option to opt-out, or use a different list). Now we have more users seeing each other and being able to react to each other. Sure, that would put more strain on the individual mod teams, but, there could be a system in place to make it easier for them to cooperate. Two or more mod teams flagged a comment? Let’s auto-suggest it for the review to the rest.

TLDR; More users, more mods, more fruitful discussion.

Then, there are more niche communities. 1 dedicated just to the lightning network, 1 dedicated just to the markets, 1 probably dedicated to trolling and memes, 1 dedicated to bitcoin from the point of view of the united kingdom.

All of these indicate their nature by the name.

Freedom! Freedom to crosspost between 20 identical communities!

What’s wrong with miracast? Almost every device sold these days has some kind of radio, but no way to talk to each other. Releasing a new standard every few years won’t help much.

Nostr is for everyone.

Users deciding for themselves? Literally fascism! /s

You’re absolutely right! Easy and simple fix, which does not require any more decision rights, or extra responsibilities, being given to the instance operators.

Why would you browse an unfiltered feed if it’s not what you want?

I always looked at it like walking down the street. Some people might disgust me, but it’s a shared space. Unless they persnoally harass me, I have no right to attack them.

Illegal where? You can’t run a federated system and keep it functioning AND legal everywhere all the time. There are 100s of jurisdictions, each of them constantly changing the rules.

The fediverse is set up somewhere in the grey zone. It has all the disadvantages of decentralized system (has to communicate with untrusted peers), while also having all the disadvantages of centralized system (having childish admins, who are also bound by their local jurisdictions).

The general direction is good, and the p2p ecosystem is better than a decade ago, but this is still not the final form, I’m afraid.

I’m just glad that there’s a ton of money at stake in the big league, and large ISPs can’t afford to act like this most of the time.

I’d prefer something like SRV dns records, but that’s not an option here.

It looks like there is a way to run Mastodon on subdomain.example.com, while having user ids in user@example.com format. https://github.com/felx/mastodon-documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Serving_a_different_domain.md

But since I have no idea how lemmy addresses users from other instances, this might not work for me.
