It should be very easy to distinguish edits and deletes which were made within a few minutes or hours after writing a comment, from those made months or years later right around the reddit blackout.

The problem is that “Threadiverse” is almost never used together with “Fediverse”, so anyone unfamiliar with the terms will think that they are totally distinct. I can understand if you want to categorize different platforms within the Fediverse, but then we should also start referring to Mastodon and similar projects as the “Tootiverse”.

I wish people would stop using this silly term “Threadiverse”. There is no fundamental difference between Lemmy, Mastodon, Peertube, Friendica and so on. They all federate with the same protocol and are all part of the same Fediverse.

The bridge is nothing more than another Activitypub instance. You can block it in the same ways that you can block existing Mastodon or Lemmy instances. If users want to opt in to federate with it, they should also have to opt in manually to federate with every single Lemmy instance.

There’s surprisingly little development power behind Bluesky, though, and its recent surge in popularity will no doubt have slowed down nice-to-haves like federation.

I just looked at their Github, and surprisingly Bluesky seems to have less total commits than Lemmy.

On the other hand, ATProto solves a lot of problems Mastodon has (no two servers showing the same list of replies, for one)

This is absolutely solvable with Activitypub, its just that Mastodon developers dont seem to care about it.

Where exactly does a “platform” end? Is it only lemmy.tf, or all Lemmy instances? Either way Mastodon or Peertube can hardly be considered to be the same platform as Lemmy. Activitypub is a protocol and definitely not a platform. Or would you consider threads.net part of your “platform” once it implements Activitypub?

These people previously asked Dessalines and me to participate in one of their conferences, and expected us to pay the full ticket price. I think its really outrageous to charge so much money for setting up some video calls, considering that most people who run the Fediverse don’t get any money at all. There are also no recordings published afterwards, which goes completely against the spirit of openness of the Fediverse.

That’s called Piefed. Golang and Ruby are still missing though. Maybe there could even be an implementation in C.

Then hashtags would have the same use as post tags on Reddit. I think thats a cleaner solution and there are plans to implement it.

Lemmy is already a very complicated project, and adding more functionality will only make it harder to maintain. Also there are lots of people who use wikis without Reddit, Wikipedia is one of the biggest websites in the world after all. So a Fediverse alternative is very much needed. Plus Lemmy and Ibis can federate in the future.

Dessalines is currently working on mod actions for Jerbia. Someone recently made a PR for moderator edits but it seems there was not enough interest and it was closed by the author. Better reports handling would be nice, but if you read the issue its not really clear how this should work. Private communities are on the roadmap for this year.

Karma is intentionally left out of Lemmy because it has many negative effects. Wikis make more sense as a standalone project, in fact Im working on something. Flairs are also potentially on the roadmap. For hashtags I dont really see the benefit as they would serve a very similar purpose to communities.

True a warning system makes sense.

What sort of moderation tools are you missing in Lemmy?

Very impressive! The only thing I can remember well are places.

I’m pretty sure Nutomic was a Java dev before starting work on Lemmy and learning Rust from scratch.

That is true, I used to be an Android developer and then learned Rust by writing code for Lemmy. Are you by any chance my new stalker?

And if we’re comparing the languages, the fact alone that there are no Nullpointerexceptions makes Rust infinitely better than Java for me. I also agree that this sort of copycat project will soon be forgotten. For example have you ever heard of Rustodon?

You can read FEP-1b12 to understand how Lemmy federation works. To make it short, these Announces are to let community followers know about all the posts, edits, votes etc which are happening in the community. You can check the audience field to distinguish from Mastodon-style boosts.

That paper is eight years old and yet there has been no major hack of the Telegram protocol.

Signal is based in the United States, enjoy having CIA and NSA reading all your messages.

Telegram isn’t perfect, but it is infinitely better than Whatsapp because it doesn’t belong to Facebook, and also isn’t from the United States. Also it can be used by normies without problem, unlike Matrix or Xmpp or what have you.
