No I was not sarcastic. So now i am trying to read your paper and i think that it is above my knowledge level.

As a layman i had the intuition that instead of having two accounts as i proposed for voting and commenting which was implemented by @rimu, we might have had something like blockchain or filecoin or some coin that would represent voting power and that would be based on our commenting value… so that coin would have been an intermediary to make voting anonymous.

Finally i know enough about science that i know that i don’t know much.

Edit : after a rapid overview of the article i would say that this method :
“Blind Signature-Based e-Voting”
would be most appropriate to our social media voting and i noticed the work they have done is more targeting national elections where the outcome is much more important.

Yes but … Navigation icon at the top right of the pages leads to these :

@rimu@piefed.social did great on my simple idea and this is very nice to know. He did not implement his other idea of having a pool of available robots that would vote one time each for each one vote of each one user(s) … also I thought it might be implemented in the frontend but he did implement it in the backend.

i did not say before but i was also thinking about complex mechanisms involving some kind of coin that would represent voting power that could be spent when voting or accumulated maybe with some loss of value with time … but then i read about the many research paper that were published about such things … in conclusion i believe we will see many other iterations of such social media.

thanks for the feedback 😌

Thanks @souperk@reddthat.com,
i believe many users will be interested in these papers about cryptographically secure voting.

Amongst them there would be :
@rimu@piefed.social
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk
@brbposting@sh.itjust.works

User’s votes anonymization through this system looks quite nice for me.

Let’s create separate accounts for voting and for posting so to improve anonymity and freedom of expression.

Someone closer to the developers than you are ?

This seems very dangerous : just look at the photograph !

Hi adONis,
a “block” is not a “ban”. e.i. : if I have account ABC and from that ABC account I block user 123 then, from ABC I cannot read anything posted by 123 but I would be able to read 123’s posts from my other accounts (and so would anybody else).

That isn’t inversely not un_good, not.

Wikipedia, about once a year, has those donation pledge boxes at the top of every article …they must be somewhat effective since they come back year after year …better keep them small though to avoid disheartening users. Maybe start small like this trending community line at the top of the user feed.
P.S. : Since we don’t want the user to get habituated it’s better if it’s just a few days once a year.

… is 11169622 …

Maybe 9 post out of 10 are deleted by the few checks I made manually …or am I missing something ?

Maybe it was discussed during the AMA ?

Lemmy Developer AMA and Dev Update, 2024-01-26, 1500 CEDT here

P.S. : Yes, it was ask … :
… Finding communities across instances …
by : @OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml

P.S.2 : … but no one answered that question and it was not raised again in all those 350 something comments.

Which one as the best potential :
(between Lemmy, Mastodon or Sharkey)
1-for users,
2-for moderators,
3-for administrators,
4-for developers ?

We could simply ask the administrators, but, just for fun, we could program an algorithm such as the following :

#1 get(the_latest_post, from_the_server)  
#2 modify its address by adding a small fixed number 
(manually adjust this small number to get one of the next posts before they can be deleted)  
#3 get(this_next_post, from_the_server)

Repeating these steps a few times and keeping statistics should allow to answer experimentally the question 😋

Only 3 of those are about sticks but many other posts didn’t stick and so were removed.
The #10M itself was deleted :
https://lemmy.world/post/10000000

Exactly, this is not specific to Lemmy as it applies to the whole internet.
Also, Lemmy is not a website : it would be somewhat like saying the language Python doesn’t obey GDPR !

Same here, as the picture led us to believe.
