Watched the vido now. Seems these gravity battery facilities might not be as efficient (80% to pumped hydro's 90%), but you can construct them anywhere, and don't need a mountainous land area nearby. Nice.

I'm actually very sympathetic to this. What the US did, and continues to do, is far worse than what the fascists of the 1920s-40s attempted.

The Nazis and Japanese fascists tried (and failed) to acheive what the US sucessfully did: the colonization and eviction of hundreds of native peoples, and clearing of an entire region for the "master race". All under a far more stable form of government for colonialism : bourgeois democracy.

Lebensraum failed, but manifest destiny succeeded.

Not only that, but committed countless other atrocities, unparalleled in history.

Matrix movie lore opinion question. Did cypher try anything else before betraying the group? Would neo and the others have tried to help him if he asked?

I think if he would’ve been like “I’ve rally changed my mind. I can’t do this.” Neo and Morpheus I feel would’ve tried to help him re-enter the matrix.

The whole thing was about “give them a choice” and I think everyone would have at least understood how he fealt and would’ve tried to get him back into the matrix at his request.

I feel like he didn’t even try talking about it before he went to the agents.

I know it’s meaningless just wondering what other people thought.

Part of the reason is that he didn't just want to live a life of pleasure... he also wanted to revert to a state of blissful ignorance, and not know that the matrix was a fake reality.

That would go against the moral principles of the ship, whose main goal is to enlighten and bring awareness about the matrix. It would be immoral for them to erase his memory even if they could.

Cypher also was extremely selfish, secretly hated the crew, and had no qualms about selling them all out for his own benefit.

The history of electoralism

Greek philosophers in 300 BC: Hey, so electoralism is a rigged game, because only wealthy and prestigious families have enough money to finance the popularity contest to get themselves or their puppet candidates elected.

Marxists in the 1800s: Electoralism is a rigged game. Capitalists stack every election with their puppets. Political power is subservient to economic power.

Liberals in the 2020s: No, electoralism has never worked. But it might work for us this time.

Both plato and aristotle, but aristotle thought that any election-based state turned out in practice, to be an oligarchy or aristocracy, not a democracy (which he define as rule by the poor, with random selection by lot).

Very few modern states are settler states based on native eviction: only the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel.

The US and other capitalist states based on representative democracy aren't democracies, and you'd be hard-pressed to find ppl saying they're improving.

Could the UI and App devs please make it more clear that URL and image options when making a post are mutually exclusive?

Jerboa's not too bad, as the URL field is the same field the link to your uploaded image ends up overwriting, but I swear I see people making this mistake every fucking day. End up posting just an image when they wanted image + link.

Apologies, as I'm sure there's proper channels for this, and open source projects tend to not have the best UIs. Just shouting into the void.

Community behaviour around deletion of posts

As a regular contributor to discussion across a wide spectrum of Lemmy (and other fediverse) communities, I've come to see some people who will submit a post, get replies and then delete that post.

While I understand that this is a feature of the platform, in my opinion, it's extremely disrespectful to anyone who took the time to provide a considered, or otherwise, response.

While we're building a global community, is there any appetite to discourage such behaviour, or are we okay with this experience?

One idea might be to update the platform to "zombie" a post when its author deletes it, leaving it exactly where it is, but removing the author.

Anyone?

I'd love to have a discussion about this. I am a socialist through and through. I believe that the system needs to be dismantled to achieve any meaningful change, and that no progress can realistically be made within the system.

I'd argue that there are 4 actions within the system. Vote red, vote blue, vote third party, and don't vote.
I'd argue that all 4 options will never lead to meaningful change. However, given this, every American who is eligible to vote is forced into playing the game, there is no way to abstain. Even not voting leads to a meaningful outcome within the system, and thus is still playing the game.

If no actions within the system can change things, I pose that the only way to disrupt this system is by dismantling it from the outside via revolution.

This however, cannot be done overnight, even if you are consistently acting on it. These types of things take a general sense of civil unrest to get kicked off. I believe that under capitalism, this unrest is inevitable, and once it hits a tipping point, the revolution will start. In the meantim

If no actions within the system can change things, I pose that the only way to disrupt this system is by dismantling it from the outside via revolution.

First, we should be ushering in the revolution. Organize, make people aware of the alternative, disrupt the system in any means you reasonably can, try to get people to be sympathetic to the cause, etc. Don't slack on your responsibility to prepare and eventually initiate the revolution.

Second, since we have no choice but to play the game we've been dropped in to, you should vote for short term damage mitigation. If you are forced to take an action within the system, I feel people have a moral obligation to try to reduce the harm to others as much as possible. This involves making a vote, since not voting results in almost the same outcome as a vote for the candidate furthest away from the one you considered least harmful.

I have yet to see an argument that shows how not voting is going against or dismantling the system. However, considering so many people believe that not voting is the right choice, I'm really interested in hearing someone explain it to me, as there must be some reasoning behind it that I'm not seeing.

Its refusing to play their rigged game, and spending your energies elsewhere.

Every single positive change from the US came not through voting or participation in the electoral process, but from force or the threat of force from below, usually in the form of mass protests, or enemies of the US empire defeating them militarily.

We removed many comments, since its a blanket term used to demonize leftists, like "commie", and carry out anti-communist witch-hunts (the instance you're currently on blocks the major leftist lemmy servers, so we're seeing a lot of witch-hunters).

Its kinda similar to going to a non-theist forum, and asking, "hey everyone, what's a heathen?" And a lot of the answers then demonize these supposed "heathens".

Re-Created Lemmy Server, Old Posts, & Federation issues

Hi all,

I've been running my Lemmy server since 2023 with minor issues, however I recently had my server go down for about two weeks due to a drive failure (should have been a RAID array, I know, but when I set this up originally I wasn't sure if it would be a mainstay and then I never revisited my design).

So, this has brought about a couple different problems, first and foremost federation seems completely broken? My proxy configuration and cloudflare stuff has been unchanged, so I don't think that is the issue. However, I'm not receiving new posts, comments, or upvotes (after what gets synced initially).

Here are the logs from the lemmy backend:

2025-10-14T21:05:39.429156Z  WARN lemmy_server::root_span_builder: CouldntFindPost: CouldntFindPost

             at src/root_span_builder.rs:16

and lemmy-ui has:

{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }

{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }

{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }

{ name: 'couldnt_find_comment', message: '' }

{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }

{ name: 'couldnt_find_post', message: '' }

So I assume that posts are getting pushed across but not actually getting created?

The second question I have, and I fear there may be nothing i can do about this, is since I had to recreate my lemmy db I don't have any of the posts from my users on here anymore. They were all to other servers, so I assume there is some sort of copy out there. Is there a way that I can get them to federate back to my server? Or are they just lost to the ether of posts?

EDIT: The plot thickens...

I connected to the database, and I can see a ton of recent posts/comments/interactions, but those aren't showing up in the frontend? Maybe there is something messed up in my config, but its more or less what was in the docs (only changes were to make it work with my proxy vs the built-in nginx)

These logs are from the api, not from federation. So a client is trying to access posts and comments which dont exist. Is the Lemmy frontpage looking normal? Regarding federation, other instances would have marked your instance as dead by now. This should be reset automatically after a few days, or you can manually trigger it (eg unfollow and refollow remote communities).

How can I view the comments/posts I downvoted?

I just started using the Summit app for a day and realised now I involuntarily downvoted quite a few comments conviced I was upvoting them, fooled by the color of the swipe action (I didn't look at the arrow showing up until now) and wanted to remediate even if it's pretty inconsequential.
Another option if ths one isn't really possible, how to browse my read posts, at least I'd be able to find the discussions I had read through

That makes (at least) two pro-israel and pro-war nobel peace prize winners.

The winner in 2010, Liu Xiaobo, supported George Bush's wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, and had this to say for Israel:

"without America's protection, the long persecuted Jews who faced extermination during World War II, would probably be drowned once more by the Islamic world's hatred."

We were excited to see the recent release of Ghost 6 with ActivityPub features. The Ghost team have been an active participant in our Long-form Text project. And Mallory’s newsletter the Internet Exchange just published about why they use Ghost. John O’Nolan, founder and CEO of Ghost.org, was kind enough to answer our questions about the software and its community.

SWF: For our readers who don’t know Ghost, how would you describe the platform?

JO: Ghost is an independent publishing platform for people who take writing seriously. We’re open source, non-profit, and built to

... mostra di più

JO: Ghost is an independent publishing platform for people who take writing seriously. We’re open source, non-profit, and built to give creators complete ownership of their content and their audience. We’ve helped indie publishers generate over $100 million in revenue from sustainable modern media businesses like 404Media, Platformer and Tangle News.

SWF: Tell us about your user community. Can you paint a picture of them with a broad brush? What kind of people choose Ghost?

JO: Ghost attracts people who care about owning their home on the internet, rather than having another profile on a social media platform. Our publishers range from solo journalists and creators, to established news outlets and large businesses. They value independence, and they’re willing to do the work to maintain control of their brand, distribution, data, and relationship with readers.

SWF: What is it like to be a Ghost user in 2025? What kind of problems are your users facing today?

JO: The big challenge today is the same one that’s haunted independent publishers for two decades: discovery. You can own your platform and serve your audience beautifully, but if people can’t find you, none of it matters. Email newsletters have been a solid answer, but they’re still dependent on deliverability and inbox placement. Algorithms on social platforms actively suppress links now, so sharing your work there is like shouting into a hurricane.

SWF: Tell us about your experience with ActivityPub. Why did you decide to add ActivityPub support to your software?

JO: Ghost has had support for delivering content by email newsletters for a number of years, and email has remained an unassailable distribution platform for publishers because it’s an open protocol. No company controls your email list except you, so it’s one of the best investments you can make. ActivityPub is now doing the same thing for social technology. It allows publishers to own and control a distribution channel that allows their work to spread and be discovered by others. For the first time, you can publish independently and grow faster than ever before.

SWF: What stack is Ghost built on? What development tools does your team use?

JO: Ghost is all built in modern JavaScript; mainly Node and React. Our ActivityPub service is built on Fedify, and everything we build is released under an open source MIT license. Our development tools are constantly evolving, and now more quickly than ever before with the advent of AI tools, which seem to change on a near weekly basis.

SWF: What was the development process like?

JO: Challenging, honestly. ActivityPub is beautifully designed but the spec leaves room for interpretation, and when you’re building something new, there’s no roadmap. Building interoperability between other platforms, who’ve all interpreted the spec in their own unique ways, has been a real challenge. The approach we took was to ship early versions as quickly as possible to beta testers so we could learn as we go, using real-world data and issues to guide our process. We’re in a good spot, now, but there’s still a lot to do!

SWF: Ghost produces long-form blog posts, articles and newsletters. How was the experience adapting Ghost articles to the microblogging interfaces of Mastodon and Threads?

JO: In some ways really easy, and in other ways quite tricky. We’re at a pretty early stage for long-form content on ActivityPub, and the majority of other products out there don’t necessarily have interfaces for supporting it yet. The easy part is that we can provide fallbacks, so if you’re scrolling on Mastodon you might see an article title and excerpt, with a link to read the full post – and that works pretty well! The dream, though, is to make it so you can just consume the full article within whatever app you happen to be using, and doing that requires more collaboration between different platforms to agree on how to make that possible.

SWF: You’ve been an active participant in the ActivityPub community since you decided to implement the standard. Why?

JO: ActivityPub is a movement as much as a technology protocol, and behind it is a group of people who all believe in making the web a weird, wonderful open place for collaboration. Getting to know those humans and being a part of that movement has been every bit as important to the success of our work as writing the code that powers our software. We’ve received incredible support from the Mastodon team, AP spec authors, and other platforms who are building ActivityPub support. Without actively participating in the community, I don’t know if we would’ve gotten as far as we have already.

SWF: Ghost has implemented not only a publishing interface, but also a reading experience. Why?

JO: The big difference between ActivityPub and email is that it’s a 2-way protocol. When you send an email newsletter, that’s it. You’re done. But with ActivityPub, it’s possible to achieve what – in the olden days – we fondly referred to as ‘the blogosphere’. People all over the world writing and reading each other’s work. If an email newsletter is like standing on a stage giving a keynote to an audience, participating in a network is more like mingling at the afterparty. You can’t just talk the whole time, you have to listen, too. Being successful within the context of a network has always involved following and engaging with others, as peers, so it felt really important to make sure that we brought that aspect into the product.

SWF: Your reader is, frankly, one of the most interesting UIs for ActivityPub we’ve seen. Tell us about why you put the time and effort into making a beautiful reading experience for Ghost.

JO: We didn’t want to just tick the “ActivityPub support” checkbox – we wanted to create something that actually feels great to use every day. The idea was to bring some of the product ideas over from RSS readers and kindles, where people currently consume long-form content, and use them as the basis for an ActivityPub-native reading experience. We experimented with multiple different approaches to try and create an experience with a mix of familiarity and novelty. People intuitively understand a list of articles and a view for opening and reading them, but then when you start to see inline replies and live notifications happening around those stories – suddenly it feels like something new and different.

SWF: If people want to get a taste of the kind of content Ghost publishers produce, what are some good examples to follow?

JO: Tough question! There are so many out there, and it really depends on what you’re into. The best place to start would be on ghost.org/explore – when you can browse through all sorts of different categories of creators and content, and explore the things that interest you the most.

SWF: If I’m a Fediverse enthusiast, what can I do to help make Ghost 6 a success?

JO: Follow Ghost publishers and engage with their content – likes, replies, reposts all help! Most importantly, help us spread the word about what’s possible when platforms collaborate rather than compete. And if you’re technical, our ActivityPub implementation is entirely open source on GitHub – contributions, bug reports, and feedback make the whole ecosystem stronger.

What We Learned About Publishing on the Open Social Web

Over two years, we’ve grown alongside the open social web, experimenting with Ghost, ActivityPub, and Bluesky to publish in ways that align with our values.

Is this a bug? "Show Upvote %" Only Shows in Tooltip Instead of Next to Votes and Displays Too Many Decimals

I enabled the “Show Upvote %” option and turned off all the other score-related settings, but now I don’t see anything next to posts where the total score usually appears. Some comments show the percentage, but not in the spot between the vote arrows where the score normally is. I’d expect the upvote percentage to appear for every post and comment in place of the total score, but instead it only shows up as a tooltip when hovering over the arrows. Is this the intended behavior or a bug? Also, is it really necessary to display so many decimal places in the tooltip?

Random Idea: Federated "Discord-Style" Platform With Isolated Instances

I had a random idea I wanted to throw out there and see what people think:

Imagine a federated platform that works kind of like Discord, but in the sense of Lemmy, Pixelfed, Mastodon, etc.—with different instances hosted by different people.

The twist is that none of the instances would be connected to each other.

Each instance would function like a regular Discord server: channels, chats, roles, and all the usual stuff, but the instances themselves wouldn’t federate with each other.

The interesting part is that these instances could still federate with other platforms—like Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube, Pixelfed, Loops, etc.—just not with each other.

It seems like it could be a way to have smaller, self-contained communities while still integrating with the wider Fediverse in some ways.

My only sticking point is figuring out signup/login mechanics—how would a user navigate multiple isolated instances efficiently without it becoming a nightmare?

Would love to hear thoughts, improvements, or whether anyone

It was originally funded by amdocs, a US and Israeli company, but they have their own funding for many years now.

Regardless, considering its entirely open source, buildable from source, self-hostable (and auditable), which is more than you can say for signal, where the back end is centralized, and hosted in a five-eyes country.

Matrix requires no "just trust us" clause unlike signal, because you can run the software yourself, and verify that its not making calls to US or Israeli servers.

Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.

I mod a few communities and I can now see who has upvoted or downvoted any comment or post in the community.

You'd think any mod would like that data being available to find any issue user. But I feel like invasive with this.

I know admins have long been able to see this data.

Also its not like its personally information, just your screen name associated with your own activity, as your posts and comments are. But the passive act of voting is now very public which is a bit icky to me.

When exploring communities to post in, using /communities, I believe it would be more effective if they were sorted by active users per month instead of total subscribers.

Let's talk security: Answering your top questions about Android developer verification

Does this mean sideloading is going away on Android?

Absolutely not. Sideloading is fundamental to Android and it is not going away. Our new developer identity requirements are designed to protect users and developers from bad actors, not to limit choice. We want to make sure that if you download an app, it’s truly from the developer it claims to be published from, regardless of where you get the app. Verified developers will have the same freedom to distribute their apps directly to users through sideloading or through any app store they prefer.

Making APKs available to your test team

If your team’s current test process relies on distributing APKs to testers for installation using methods other than adb, you will need to verify your identity and register the package. This also applies if you make APKs available to your test teams through Google Play Internal Testing, Firebase App Distribution, or similar solutions through other distribution partners.

A serious submission, for once.

Click here if you have time to learn more.

Did you know…? From 1917 to 1923, Eastern European pogromists — many of whom were small capitalists — engaged in a campaign of despoiling, tormenting, and annihilating Jews, as well as plundering or destroying their homes, synagogues, and microbusinesses. The pogromists exterminated **115,000–200,000** Jews and it was the largest loss of Jewish life until the Shoah.

I’ve think voting in the USA is a faith driven social event, mixed with a mentality of watching sports.

It’s like a purification ritual , and is a descendant of the big tent Christian rivivals seen in the 1800s.

Some more context for anyone wandering over from an anti-communist space:

Socialists view democracy under capitalism to be impossible. Most current-day systems are better labeled as Bourgeois Democracy, or democracy for the rich only, which socialists contrast with proletarian democracy. Under capitalism, political parties, representatives, infrastructure, and the media are controlled by capitalists, who place restrictions on the choices given to workers, limit their representative options to vetted capitalist puppets, and limit the scope of public debate to pro-capitalist views.

Bourgeois democracies are in reality

Except that it has historicaly made things better, sure, not in massive scale votes, but in smaller votes? In local elections? I fully agree that protests are necessary, and they are alot of what causes positive change, but that doesn't render voting completely useless. In the current systems that exist, capitalism does turn large votes into what is essentially a dick measuring contest. But in smaller scale, local votes there is less money being put into the system, so voting becomes more impactful.

Dessalines doesn't like this.

Even locally, it would take some incredible magic for the capitalists who rule a given city or town's politics, to enact or enforce laws than go against their interests / profits, especially without a fight. Scale isn't relevant here, since local elites use the city/town police as goons to protect their property.

Unless you can give some examples, I don't believe it, and I certainly can't think of any time in my city's history where they've willingly allowed something against their interests.

in reply to Dessalines

Womdat10

in reply to Dessalines • 2 mesi fa • •

My point is that the rulers of a city or town might not be capitalists. In smaller scale elections, people can actually have a real choice to vote for a socialist, or communist, or other similar left wing leader.

Off the top of my head (and without researching this further) simple things like minimum wage increases have happened, and while it took alot of fighting, that is accomplished by voting. As far as I know, those aren't typically financially very good for the rich who control the government. If I am incorrect about this, please correct me.

Also, I apologize, I am really not in the mood to do a bunch of research to find examples currently, if I remember about this in the future I will, but that is, unfortunately, far from a guarantee.

Off the top of my head (and without researching this further) simple things like minimum wage increases have happened, and while it took alot of fighting, that is accomplished by voting.

Minimum wage, the 5-day work week, and other workers gains took decades of violent struggle and organizing by socialists, communists, and anarchists in nearly every country.

My point is that the rulers of a city or town might not be capitalists.

That's not how it works in any capitalist country. Political power is subservient to economic power, and is toothless without it.

This past June, I put together a write-up about two major approaches to backfilling conversations. The ability to properly backfill conversations means we will be able to make major inroads toward solving the feeling that the fediverse is quiet.

I, alongside several other members of the SWICG Forums and Threaded Discussions Task Force (ForumWG) have been working toward building implementor support for Conversational Contexts — the ability to explicitly classify a set of objects as belonging to a conversation, whether that be a topic, reply tree, or similar.

c'è una differenza abissale, gli occhiali smart sono un giocattolo, può essere classificato come dispositivo medico alla pari di una qualsiasi montatura.

Un farmaco per l'approvazione ha necessità di seguire un complesso iter regolatorio. Il fatto che sia già in fase di approvazione della FDA aiuta a velocizzare le cose ma ci vuole tempo.

Ciao a tutti :)
Condividere il progetto su cui si sta lavorando può essere un buon modo per infondere coraggio a chi voglia cimentarsi nell’arte del cucito.

È poco che cucio, ma la passione si è trasformata in lavoro in poco tempo pur non cancellando come fosse il mio mondo in bianco e nero, senza ago e filo nella macchina o nelle mani, il mondo prima di adesso.

‘Cucire’ era mia nonna che aggiungeva i polsini alle giacche ormai troppo corte.

‘Cucire’ era un’amica speciale che per regalo di nozze mi scriveva una lettera chiusa da una busta cucita a mano con la scritta ‘Auguri!’, ricamata sul cartoncino.

‘Cucire’ era la sarta della merceria del paese che trasformava i pantaloni lisi dei miei figli in panta-toppe.

‘Cucire’ era tante cose, ma non ero io.

Oggi condivido invece i progetti su cui sto lavorando: delle camice di seta con taglio a kimono. Ancora mi chiedo come io mi sia ritrovata qui. Ma mi sento a casa. Una casa cucita su misura.

E voi,

Admins: Instnace randomly running extremely slowly? Check for this

During some work with Tess, I'd notice that my test instance was running horribly slow. The CPU was spiking, Postgres was not happy and using pretty much all the available compute.

Investigating, I found the culprit to be some crawler or possibly malicious actor sending a massive number of unscoped requests to /api/v3/comment/list. What I mean by "unscoped" is without limiting it to a post ID. I'm not sure if this is a bug in Lemmy or there's a legit use for just fetching only comments outside of a post, but I digress as that's another discussion.

After disallowing unscoped requests to the comment list endpoint (see mitigation further down), no more issue.

The kicker seemed to be that this bot / jackass was searching by "Old" and was requesting thousands of pages deep.

Requests looked like this: GET /api/v3/comment/list?limit=50&sort=Old&page=16413

Since I shutdown Dubvee officially, I'm not keeping logs as long as I used to, but I saw other page numbers in the access log, but they were all above 10,000. From

Since I shutdown Dubvee officially, I'm not keeping logs as long as I used to, but I saw other page numbers in the access log, but they were all above 10,000. From the logs I have available, the requests seem to be coming from these 3 IP addresses, but I have insufficient data to confirm this is all of them (probably isn't).

Log Excerpt

Note that I log the query string as well as the URI. I've run a custom Nginx setup for so long, I actually don't recall if the query string is logged by default or not. If you're not logging the query string, you can still look for the 3 (known) IPs above making requests to /api/v3/comment/list and see if entries similar to these show up.

Mitigation:

First, I blocked the IPs making these requests, but they would come back from a different one. Finally, I implemented a more robust solution.

My final mitigation was to simply reject requests to /api/v3/comment/list that did not have a post ID in the query parameters. I did this by creating a dedicated location block in Nginx that is an exact match for /api/v3/comment/list and doing the checks there.

I could probably add another check to see if the page number is beyond a reasonable number, but since I'm not sure what, if any, clients utilize this, I'm content just blocking unscoped comment list requests entirely. If you have more info / better suggestion, leave it in the comments.

location = /api/v3/comment/list {

  # You'll need the standard proxy_pass headers such as Host, etc. I load those from an include file.
  include conf.d/includes/http/server/location/proxy.conf;

  # Create a variable to hold a 0/1 state
  set $has_post_id 0;

  # If the URL query string contains 'post_id' set the variable to 1
  if ($arg_post_id) {
    set $has_post_id  1;
  }

  # If the variable is not 1 (i.e. does not have post_id in the arguments), return 444
  # 444 is an Nginx-specific return code that immediately closes the connection 
  # and wastes no further resources on the request
  if ($has_post_id != 1) {
    return 444;
  }

  # Otherwise, proxy pass to the API as normal 
  # (replace this with whatever your upstream name is for the Lemmy API
  proxy_pass "http://lemmy-be/";
}

Also, its good to note that this largest genocide and colonial project in history, took place under representative liberal/bourgeios democracy.

The fascists could only aspire, and fail to recreate, what the "democracies" of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and western europe acheived. Yet for some reason you never hear people in these countries express their fear of "becoming a liberal democracy".

These people love their system, praise it as superior to others, and fear the anti-colonial world that creates alternatives that exist outside of it, and challenge it.

Cronache del Fediverso

📜 Cronache dalla Bolla Fediversiana 🫧

🌀 Nel Fediverso (anzi, nel mio caro Mastodon 💜) noto che sì, la gente è un po’ meno… ma l’atmosfera è migliorata di brutto!

Certo, ogni tanto spunta ancora quello che sale sul piedistallo per fare il discorso da oracolo ✨📢, ma in generale il clima è più leggero e piacevole.

Sì, siamo meno, probabilmente ci stiamo creando la nostra piccola bolla… ma sapete una cosa? Io qui sto meglio di prima. E non ho nessuna voglia di fare paragoni con i social commerciali.

Ormai è quasi una grande famiglia 🤗 dove ci si conosce tutti un po’.
La voglia di interagire? Di conoscere persone nuove? Sempre presente!

Re: Cronache del Fediverso

snow@lemmy.casasnow.noho.st per quello che mi riguarda posso confermare sia l'impressione sulla diminuzione dei volumi sia quella sul miglioramento dei contenuti e dei toni.
Tuttavia non riesco a essere contento come te, perché la diminuzione dei volumi è un problema abbastanza grave perché rende meno sostenibile il progetto complessivo del Fediverso.
Se ci sono meno utenti, allora ci saranno meno finanziatori potenziali, meno sviluppatori interessati e meno rete.
Per dire, baratterei volentieri il miglioramento dei toni per guadagnare una ventina di ragazzi in più 🤣

Perché se è vero che il progetto di un compilatore può campare appoggiandosi solo al lavoro del o degli sviluppatori che lo sviluppano e se lo usano, per un social network la cosa è molto diversa.

Qui bisogna coprire diversi ruoli.

Servono gli sviluppatori che sviluppano le istanze.

Servono gli amministratori che se le installano e le curano.

Ma soprattutto serve la gente che le usa, perché un social network vive di persone che lo usano, non basta che ne venga sviluppato il software e non basta avere gente che installa

Ma soprattutto serve la gente che le usa, perché un social network vive di persone che lo usano, non basta che ne venga sviluppato il software e non basta avere gente che installa e manutiene le istanze (tutti elementi che restano imprescindibili, ovviamente).

Ecco, io credo che il Fediverso abbia bisogno, oltre che di tecnici dell'informatica, anche di tecnici della comunicazione che lo promuovano nel mondo reale.

Noi possiamo dirlo alle persone che abbiamo intorno ma senza una campagna di informazione resteremo un fenomeno per nerd o coraggiosi sperimentatori.

E badate bene, non serve affatto che le varie istanze si siedano intorno ad un tavolo e si mettano d'accordo sul da farsi.

Anzi!

Nella mia idea c'è un gruppo di esperti (ma adesso che lo scrivo mi sto già domandando "e perché un gruppo solo? Abbiamo forse un gruppo solo di sviluppatori o un gruppo solo di amministratori?") che si occupa di pubblicizzare il Fediverso presso il grande pubblico e che non serve sia collegato alle istanze, anzi meglio sarebbe se fosse completamente indipendente da loro, perché ciò che va promosso è il Fediverso, non Mastodon o Friendica, e nemmeno, peggio ancora, l'istanza Mastodon-Pippo o l'istanza Friendica-Pluto.

Sto mettendo insieme delle idee per un progetto di questo tipo, che coinvolga persone che di informatica non sappiano nulla ma che sappiano organizzare una campagna online, produrre materiale informativo di qualità, raggiungere potenziali utenti del Fediverso.

Se arrivo a qualcosa di presentabile sarete i primi a saperlo 😁

Secondo il più grande studio genetico e osservazionale condotto finora, anche solo pochi drink a settimana potrebbero aumentare silenziosamente il rischio di demenza

Il team dell'Università di Oxford, della Yale University School of Medicine e dell'Università di Cambridge ha monitorato oltre mezzo milione di adulti e ha scoperto che il rischio di demenza aumentava costantemente con un maggiore consumo di alcol , senza effetti protettivi derivanti da un consumo moderato di alcol, sfidando le ipotesi consolidate su un livello "sicuro" di alcol per la salute del cervello.

Lo studio è molto interessante per il rigore metodologico e il tentativo di eliminare le possibili distorsioni statistiche dei soggetti osservati, come spiegato nell'articolo di TR

technologynetworks.com/tn/news…

Even Light Drinking Linked to Higher Dementia Risk

A combined genetic and observational study of more than 559,000 people found alcohol consumption consistently raises dementia risk. Even a few weekly drinks increased risk, overturning the belief that moderate drinking protects brain health.

The USA demands blood for the blood god

From Operation Gladio - Paul L Williams:

But no Latin American country, not even Pinochet's Chile, could equal the levels of violence that followed the military coup of March 24, 1976, in Argentina. Indeed, the only regime to create a state of fear approximating that of Argentina was Hitler's Germany.37 (There were other parallels to Nazism, including a government-sponsored hate campaign against the country's four hundred thousand Jews.) As many as thirty thousand political prisoners (including students, union organizers, journalists, and even pregnant women) were killed or disappeared during the 1976–1983 “Dirty War,” which was fully endorsed by the Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations.38 Political killings took place on the average of seven a day in 1977. Nor were Argentines the only victims. An estimated fourteen thousand refugees from other South American military regimes were told to leave the country or face the possibility of arrest. Torture was automatic for anyone arrested, according to a spokesman for the World Council of Churches.39

From Operation Gladio - Paul L Williams:

THE US ENDORSEMENT

Recently declassified National Security documents show that the CIA and the US State Department remained primary sponsors of the military junta, which was led by General Jorge Videla. On February 16, 1976, six weeks before the coup, Robert Hill, the US ambassador to Argentina, reported to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that the plans for the coup were underway and that a public relations campaign had been mounted that would cast the new military regime in a positive light. Hill added that even though “some executions would probably be necessary,” the leaders of the junta remained determined “to minimize any resulting problems with the US”40On March 25, 1979, two days after the coup, William Rogers, assistant secretary for Latin America, advised Kissinger that the military takeover of Argentina would result in “a fair amount of repression, probably a good deal of blood.” To this warning, Kissinger responded, “Yes, but that is in our interest.”41

On March 30, 1976, Ambassador Hill sent a seven-page assessment of the new regime to Kissinger. In the report, Hill wrote, “This is probably the best executed and most civilized coup in Argentine history.” One week later, US Congress approved a request from the Ford Administration, written by Kissinger, to provide $50 million in aid to the new military regime.42

Developer / Potential Contributor Question: how to add a custom post/comment ranking algorithm to Lemmy?

How would I add a new ranking algorithm to Lemmy as a contributor? I'm a developer by trade, but unfamiliar with Rust and the codebase of Lemmy specifically. It doesn't seem like Lemmy has a concept of 'ranking plugins', so whatever I do would have to involve an MR.

Specifically, I'd like to introduce a ranking system that approximates Proportional Approval Voting, specifically using Thiele's elimination methods, like is used in LiquidFeedback.

I'm pretty sure that with a few tweaks to Thiele's rules, I can compute a complete ranking of all comments in a thread in O(ClogC + E + VlogC), where C is the number of comments, E is the total number of likes, and V is the number of users. This would also support partial approvals, upvotes could decay with age.

I believe this would mitigate the tendency towards echo chambers that Lemmy inherits from Reddit. Lemmy effectively uses Block Approval Voting with decays to rank comments and posts, leading to the same people dominating every conversation.

Winner-take-all approval voting

The ranking is implemented in a rather complicated way for performance reasons:
- First there are SQL functions which calculate the rank for a specific post or comment (defined here)
- These SQL functions are used by a scheduled task which updates post ranks at a regular interval (defined here)
- Then there are the database tables which store the calculated rank (eg post.hot_rank)
- Also the API parameters to specify the requested sort, and preferences for default sort options etc
- These params are used in the post listing db query to sort posts by the given rank field (here)

This is exactly the info I'm looking for, thanks! I knew there'd have to be some kind of scheduled task to recompute the rankings (IIRC the lemmy docs say ~10 minutes for recomputing ranks), I just wasn't sure where it was.

The change that would require the least effort to implement my voting system (whether the lemmy maintainers would accept the change notwithstanding) would be to target the schedule task, and introduce a server-wide configuration option that would allow admins to pick whether they're using Block Approval (what we have now) or Proportional Approval (what I'm introducing) based algorithms for their server's "hot" algorithm. No API or frontent changes required. Then, work towards community mods being able to set that on a per-community basis.

Something for me to experiment with, anyway.

Sounds interesting, though from your links it's not clear to me how exactly it works. Depending on that it could make more sense to implement as a separate sort option, then each user could try and compare it to the existing sorts.

I was thinking of it as a drop-in replacement for "hot" just so that it doesn't require any changes on the UI to implement. I'm a bit rusty with UI development, lol. The frontends wouldn't have to add a new button, and the Lemmy API wouldn't need to add a new sort type. That said, maybe that sort of thing is easy to do?

As far as it would work, Thiele's elimination rules is computed roughly as follows (I'm assuming that only upvotes are counted; I haven't considered yet if the process works if disapprovals count as a vote of "-1" or how the process could remain scalable if an abstention counts as a vote of "0.5":

begin with the list of posts, list of users, and list of votes

for each post:
    for each vote on the post:
        lookup the user that voted on the post

        # if the user did vote for a post, but also voted for 100 others, then they probably won't care if one gets removed as long as 99 remain
        # if the user did vote for a post, but only voted for 2 or 1 others, then they'll care more if this one gets removed
        # if this is the only post the user voted for, then they'll care a lot if it gets removed
        # LiquidFeedback uses a formula of "1/r", where r is the total number of votes the user has given
        # as posts get removed, the votes get removed too, so surviving votes get more weight
        # for the sake of efficiency, I'll probably use a formula like "if r > 20 then 0 else 1/r" so that users only start to contribute weight to posts once they only have 20 approvals left. Replace 20 with a constant of your choice
        add the user's resistance to the post being removed to the post

# initial heap construction, takes O(C)
construct a min-heap of the posts based on the sum of the users' resistances to the post being removed

# iterative removal of posts
while posts remain in the heap: # O(C)
    remove the first post in the heap - this has the least resistance to this post being marked 'last' in the current set # O(logC)
    yield the removed post

    for each vote for the removed post: # in total, O(E) - every vote is iterated once, across the entire lifetime of the heap
        lookup the user that voted on the post
        compute this user's resistance to this post being removed
        remove this vote from the user
        based on the number of remaining votes the user has given, compute the user's resistance to the next post being removed
        compute how much the user's resistance to their next post being removed increased (let this be "resistance increase")
        if "resistance increase" is nonzero (based on my formula, this will happen whenever they have less than 20 votes remaining, but not if they have more than 20 votes remaining):
            for each vote for a different post by this user:
                increase the post resistance to removal by "resistance increase"
                perform an "increase_key" operation on the min-heap for this post # this will be O(logC)

               # worst-case, each user will perform 20 + 19 + 18 + ... "increase_key" operations - 
               # they only begin once there are 20 votes remaining 

               # when they have 20 votes remaining, they have 20 increase_key's to do
               # when they have 19 votes remaining, they have 19 increase_key's to do
               # etc.

               # because this is a constant, it doesn't contribute to the time complexity analysis.
               # so each user performs at worst a constant number of O(logC) operations
               # so the overall time complexity of the "increase_key" operations is O(VlogC)

For this algorithm, the yield the removed post statement will return the sorted posts in reverse order. So worst to best. You could also interpret that statement as "Give the post a rank in the final sorting of count(posts) - (i++)".

Thiele says that process can be used to elect a committee of size N by stopping your removal when N votes remain. But because it's a "house monotonic" process (electoral speak for "increasing the size of the committee by one and re-running an election is guaranteed not to cost any existing members their seat), I figure it could be repurposed to produce a ranking as well - the top one item is "best one", the top two items are the best two, the top three are the best three, etc.

To make the above process work for approvals that decay over time, we'd just treat a decayed approval as a partial approval. I still have some work to do on how exactly to integrate partial approvals into the "resistance to removing each post" calculations without ruining my time complexity. But basically it's a proportional score voting election instead of proportional approval.

Adding a new sort type is not a big deal, so dont worry about it. And a new admin setting for this would also require UI changes, so the new sort type is easier overall.

The current sort options calculate the rank for each post only from the data on that post (number of votes, creation time). Your suggested algorithm looks much more complicated than that, as it requires two iterations and needs to access data from multiple posts at once. Im not sure if this can really be implemented in a way thats performant enough for production use. Anyway feel free to open a pull request, then hopefully other contributors can help you to get it working.

Is European colonialism just a product of geography and circumstance or are Europeans uniquely evil?

This is something I've been wondering for a while and have finally mustered the courage to ask.

On the leftist side of Lemmy there is a pervasive theme of calling Europeans (and by extension white people in general) evil and how the only thing they've done is make the rest of the world suffer. And while the latter is plainly observable basically everywhere in the world, does that imply the former is true? Basically, was European colonialism a thing because of forces and convergent processes greater than Europe or would Europeans have done all that regardless of circumstances, perhaps suggesting that they're more predisposed to such actions than other ethnicities?

... mostra di più

This is something I've been wondering for a while and have finally mustered the courage to ask.

I'm not white, but I have definitely noticed that the normalized rhetoric around white people among leftist and especially socialist circles, sound pretty eerily like the racist rhetoric white people use for other ethnicities. Things like the "colonialism runs in their blood" or that "all white people are born colonizers regardless of status." To me, there are two ways of interpreting such remarks: the most literal interpretation is that white people as a race are indeed intrinsically evil, and their actions throughout history directly reflect this; or the more symbolic interpretation that due to all that's happened in history, white people today are, while not intrinsically or genetically evil, tainted by the colonialism that has already happened and are therefore more likely to be the exploiters than the exploited due to their historical advantage. The difference between the two interpretations being the question I'm asking, whether Europeans are the oppressors due to circumstance or whether there's something about them that just makes them more likely to be oppressors regardless of circumstance.

I understand that most of the rhetoric towards white people that I believe could be interpreted as "racist" are made by the direct victims of white colonialism/racism, so I can in no way fault any of them for not considering the feelings of the people who didn't consider their feelings when they did orders of magnitude worse things to them than insulting them. God knows I've made those remarks too. But at the same time, this makes it hard to determine whether those remarks are literal or figurative, and I just feel the need to ask this directly. Not because I feel the need to play tone police for a race I'm not even part of, but because I'm genuinely ignorant of anything about this and want other people's unfiltered opinions so I can better form my own.

I studied ecology in university so I have a tendency to think of human events in an ecological context (which is probably wrong). In competition between species (or even within the same species), no one in their right mind would call one species evil because it dominated all the other species. Instead, we think of different species as being entirely driven by circumstance. Even when talking about invasive species, the closest analogue to colonialism, many Indigenous people themselves have routinely pushed back against equating invasive species to colonizers. Ecology considers all species to be purely products of circumstance, and rejects the popular depictions of one species harboring an actual hatred for another and actively seeking to wipe them out.

The common notions I hear for comparing European colonialism to ecology (which are almost always not made by ecologists) is that the conditions Europe just happened to give rise to societies that would eventually go on to colonize most of the world just as those same conditions gave rise to the European starling that would decimate native bird populations in North America. The sheltered seas of the Mediterranean meant that Europe developed naval technology capable of reaching far off lands much sooner than the rest of the world, for example. The notion that Europe just happened to be where the most powerful empires arose, and being the most powerful, it was inevitable that they would inflict the most harm on the rest of the world and would be hated because of it.

But human societies are not species and human-human interactions are not strictly ecological. For one, human societies have overarching coordination and collective will that species don't have, and human societies as a whole often show more characteristics akin to a single organism than a species (though even that is apples to oranges).

Additionally, Europe was not where the most powerful empires were for the longest time. China for example was just as if not more powerful in the middle ages when Europe stagnated, just as if not more expansionist and obsessed with conquest, and its rule over the people just as tyrannical as any European king (I know Westerners tend to romanticize ancient China but I went to school in Mainland China for a bit before immigrating with my parents and my biggest takeaway was learning in history class what a shithole it was to actually live in) but China never had colonies in the European sense. The certainly conquered everyone around them, but never sought to establish their rule in far away lands like Europeans did, and certainly didn't wipe out entire continents of people to replace them with Chinese. Does that imply that Imperial China was less evil than Imperial Europe? Or are they just as evil but in a different way (land-based conquest instead of sea based)? Or did they just not have the resources to do what Europe did but absolutely would have if they did? I don't know hence why I'm asking.

All my rambling can basically be summed up as the question in the title, or, somewhat expanded: Did the world come to see white people as a symbol of colonialism and oppression as a result of forces beyond white people's control? In a parallel universe with a different geography on this planet, would another ethnicity be the universally hated colonizers while white people are the victims of genocide? Do these questions even make sense and are they actually worth answering considering we only have this geography and history to work with?

There are only a few good answers below that even obliquely reference historical materialism, how colonialism is related to different modes of production, the defining features of the columbian era of euro-american capitalist-colonialism, and its connections to race.

Easier Development on lemmy-ui

Until now it has been very complicated to work on the official Lemmy frontend, as you had to set up an entire local Lemmy stack with Postgres database and Rust backend built from source. Now there is a much easier way, as lemmy-ui can directly connect to a remote production or test instance.

To get started you need to have git and pnpm installed. Then run:

# for development branch (1.0):
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui --recursive
# for stable branch (0.19):
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui --recursive -b release/v0.19

# then:
cd lemmy-ui
pnpm install
LEMMY_UI_BACKEND_REMOTE=enterprise.lemmy.ml pnpm dev

Alternatively you can use ./scripts/test.sh. Finally open http://0.0.0.0:1234/ in your browser. You can replace the value for LEMMY_UI_BACKEND_REMOTE with any production instance. The local lemmy-ui connects to that instance for all API calls,... mostra di più

To get started you need to have git and pnpm installed. Then run:

# for development branch (1.0):
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui --recursive
# for stable branch (0.19):
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui --recursive -b release/v0.19

# then:
cd lemmy-ui
pnpm install
LEMMY_UI_BACKEND_REMOTE=enterprise.lemmy.ml pnpm dev

Note, due to breaking changes in the development version, you may need to switch branches. main is for the new 1.0 version and all new feature development is happening there. With this you can connect to the test instance voyager.lemmy.ml. release/v0.19 is the stable branch, with it you can connect to enterprise.lemmy.ml, or existing production instances. Only bug fixes should be made there.

Hopefully this will encourage some of you to contribute to lemmy-ui. If you have any experience with web development it will be easy get started.

Why is peertube growth so sluggish?

I love the idea, but most servers only host a couple of videos, it's very hard to find enjoyable content on there and it's difficult to figure out which server could be a good server to make an account on...

I wouldn't mind a centralized aggregator of videos and maybe it could have a suggestions algorithm as well or whatever. Not that this would be ideal in the long term but it could help get the videos some views and make more content creators see this as a good alternative. It's not safe on youtube, people aren't even saying suicide anymore ffs

Edit: Even some renowned german media have their own peertube servers that they feed with high quality videos, but of course they have basically 0 views. (peertube.heise.de/, tube.taz.de/)

Since peertube isn't backed by native torrents (only webtorrents which aren't used by most torrenters), it means that individual servers are bearing an immense amount of hosting costs: hard drive space on VPS's, network bandwidth, encoding, etc.

This is a completely unsustainable model if you look at how much these things cost the people running them. 100GB alone of space on a VPS can cost more than $40 / month. and that's just a handful of videos.

Torrents have already solved this problem years ago, by distributing these costs among hundreds of seeders on their own personal computers. All that's needed is for people to learn how to seed their own videos, and post magnet links around.

And I think it is even simpler than what the instructions imply... I can write the following into the terminal:

transmission-cli "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:563cf8f2a0bdd5564ae9ef3d3302eecef639328b"

And that's enough to pull the first episode of alien earth that you shared. That unique hash is all it takes to search for seeders. Very cool.

It is still not obvious to me who would seed when implementing the torrent-based YouTube alternative. Would it make sense that users set some torrenting ratio, a file lifetime, and a size limit, and 'collect' videos as they watch them so that they can seed for other users?

All that’s needed is for people to learn how to seed their own videos, and post magnet links around.

I'm in! Looking into it. Now I need to go make something worth sharing.

It always surprises me when ppl don't know about torrents. They were the only way to get things before streaming services privatized all this content, and still remain better, by using the latest encodings and quality formats for media.

It is still not obvious to me who would seed when implementing the torrent-based YouTube alternative.

Torrenters generally leave their torrent application open in the background, and seed whatever and however they'd like. Some create rules around how much and how often to seed, either based on ratios, time seeded, or speed limits. Others just seed forever at max. All the modern clients like qbitorrent or deluge can handle this, pausing the torrents when they meet given rules.

So new content would be no different than the thousands of people seeding existing content.

Jerboa app doesn't use enough power

I've been stuck in a virtual training this week and normally I know I should stop using an app because it eats all my battery up. Multiple days this week I have been in the app for 2-3 hours and my phone battery is still over 80% when I'm done with a 9 hour shift.

WordPress and 844e

Hi [url=https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle]@pfefferle@mastodon.social[/url], I was just curious why [url=https://activitypub.blog/]@activitypub.blog@activitypub.blog[/url] was a user and not a group on NodeBB, so I checked out its AP representation on Bro

Hi pfefferle@mastodon.social, I was just curious why activitypub.blog@activitypub.blog was a user and not a group on NodeBB, so I checked out its AP representation on BrowserStack.

This stood out:

  ...
  "generator": {
    "type": "Application",
    "implements": {
      "href": "https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9421",
      "name": "RFC-9421: HTTP Message Signatures"
    }
  },
  ...

I thought "how would you be able to represent multiple implementations if implements is an object?

It looks like it is supposed to be an array, according to FEP 844e.

As an aside, I guess not all WP actors are groups? I feel like we've had this conversation before though hehe.

So even if it is not wrong in WordPress, I agree with your consumer example and update the implementation to always use arrays even for single objects.

[Suggestion] Show number of comments on crossposts without having to open each one.

The line that shows the links to other crossposts should add a (#comments), if there is any, after each link.

Some links get crossposted to multiple communities but I don't know if any of these posts have any comments and it's tedious to check them out one by one, and in my experience most of them don't have any comments which discourages me from checking them out.

Also crosspost links could be in order of comments.

Another idea: instead of (#comments) it could be a different color or some other indicator.

There was some discussion about it in Dessalines's recent post. The reason I think it might be visually overwhelming is because of long titles and because sometimes there are a dozen crossposts. Maybe something like Photon's crossposts display can be combined with the other idea of showing comments from crossposts, two birds one stone kind of thing.

I'm just gonna copy a comment I made on Dessalines's post:

Combine posts and not just comments.
In addition to my other suggestions I think showing crossposts with their own comments would be very easy to understand and no one would miss the context because the title and body text of each post would be there. Basically add a section at the end that says "Crossposts" and have a little 🛈 or � next to it that explains the whole thing, when you click on "Crossposts" it expands and shows post previews like when you're browsing (with the + sign to see body text) and the comments appear below the preview. And t

Just noticed that this post is already two weeks old. Im aware of the other discussion, there are a lot of ideas and we still need to decide what is the best way to implement it.

Could you post a link or screenshot to see how Photon displays crossposts?

Looks similar to the new UI in the PR linked above, except you have to expand it manually.

in reply to Nutomic

sadschmuck [none/use name]

in reply to Nutomic • 3 mesi fa • •

Having to expand it manually would help make the page look less cluttered. What I'm suggesting is that you have the Crossposts section at the bottom beneath the comments and for the user to be able to expand crossposts and read their post text and comments, essentially combining the crossposts display with the idea of fetching and showing comments from crossposts together.

in reply to sadschmuck [none/use name]

Nutomic

in reply to sadschmuck [none/use name] • 3 mesi fa • •

Showing crossposts below comments doesnt work if you have a thread with 100+ comments as it keeps auto-loading more comments. Hiding the crosspost details themselves seems unnecessary as we render them rather small. A button to expand these small details into the full post view with comments also makes sense to me.

Read posts already show with a different color. So this could be a problem with your browser, or the specific Lemmy theme you are using.

[Question] resilience to downtime

I'm looking for input on how well Lemmy responds to occasional downtime of up to a few days, specifically regarding how federation recovers after such an event.

Basically looking to know how amenable it is to selfhosting via reverse proxy from dodgy setups which are the best some of us proles can manage. I try to run some services where I can but my situation inevitably results in an event or three per year, on average, with some days down.

Outgoing federation actions are kept for 7 days. So if your instance is down shorter than that it will catch up with everything.

This is not possible unless you are an instance admin and query the database directly with sql.
