Path of Exile seems to do it right. I’m always online anyway. If gamers stopped being dicks and DDOS’ing that’d be better.

Different paradigms for different tools. I think niche on mastodon and calckey is meh - people need agency. Niche on kbin seems fine because people have agency regardless of server they’re on.
It’s unfortunate that Beehaw started so many communities with such generic names with so few admins. The “beauty” of federation/lemmey/kbin aka “Reddit style” is that communities are supposed to be self-organizing and have their own representation/moderation.
I think the bigger problem is Beehaw decided to launch so many generic names copying Reddit’s busiest and most generic reddits without thinking through the moderationand traffic overhead.
it should be instances have their champion topics and they’re federated or if they have the manpower/technology and funding they can go for the big generic names.
I get why things were defederated - but blaming open registrations is a cop-out (a big lie… you can’t know people by their registration info). It was bad "systems thinking’ that led to an overwhelmed system that will continue to be overwhelmed.
Have these instances blocked the known shit lists yet? There are some well known block lists on mastodon that every admin should have here
Lemmy and Kbin should ship with these nazi block lists built in
They should have instead focused on fewer communities. If what they built was organic at all i don’t think they would have this problem,
but… the lack of tooling is rough. We need mod tools, mod queues, mod bots, mod discussions and all that stuff
maybe one day…
lol, facebook is joining fediverse
You can sign up instantly on https://readit.buzz (kbin)
AMD Is awesome.
So awesome, back when their slogan was “AMD ME” i had that shit on my license plate.
i’ll see myself out.
It’s better to spread the word of “Federation” aka the “Fediverse” Lemmy/Kbin and whatever else comes into this format.
The real beauty is how well these systems can interop with Calckey/Misskey/Pleroma/Mastodon and PixelFed amongst Tumblr and Mozilla showing up.
Lemmy is just one thing - but the awesomeness is the variety and interopability.
There is some enormous potential opportunities on the horizon that we’re well ahead of here. The real issue is, Reddit will have to join us on the fediverse or they will be history.
What we have to do as instances/admins/fedizens (whatever you want to call yourselves) is build the future we want. It will be quirky - but at some point that quirkyness is exactly what people want in the end.
I expect we’ll see import/export like other fediverse tools have in short time. BUT… unlike reddit/twitter/fb - if your server dies, you hop on another and you’re still part of the “fediverse”
I’d also like to see “channel/magazine” relays here like we have on mastodon so servers can relay and fill the gaps in core channels nicely.
Users should absolutely have mute/block/privacy controls. These should be used to build the community they want and see what they want to see.
Users should not be left to “fend for themselves” against abuse/hate/racism having a platform.
A person of color should feel safe.
Women should feel safe.
LGBTQIA+ should feel safe.
BIPOC should feel safe.
They should be able to login, find their community and participate without needing to deal with DM’s of lynchings, being publichly shamed with racial slurs. Power belongs to real community and real engagement, not abusers.
Dealing with a bad opinion is vastly different than platforming hate, abuse, or racist turds. These people who perpetuate this don’t have any logic or reasoning to debate and defederation isn’t censorship, it’s healthy.
I’ve heard the inverse reasoning that the API is limited because of OpenAI crawling it - which makes no sense if CEO is part of reddit board.
I just don’t care at this point ;)
Nonsense, their outlet is staying on the shithole instances, not forcing the rest of the world to see it.
KBIN is pretty dope too :) https://readit.buzz
Mastodon is federated so you can follow your kbin/lemmy from there too - that’s the interesting part about all of this.
Meta is joining fediverse and bluesky will hopefully federate soon. People will “get it” soon enough…
I’m pretty sure they have DDOS protection… but it only goes so far depending on the attack…
