I’ve seen quite a lot of Tesla in Florida, way more than 1%. However I was only at tourist places.

It causes people to wander off as they think theres not enough interactions compared to other social media. The first comment you linked shows only 141 points to me.

Downvotes are one of the most important indicator if a post is trolling or nonsense. If it only shows the total, you lose all sense of perspective. A post could have 2 upvotes and 1 downvote or 10000 upvotes and 9999 downvoted, this massively changes the context of a post. Also why should I not use a vote to say I disagreed with something? I don’t always want to write a detailed explanation, especially not when people reply with “did an AI write this?” or simply ignore what I said. Most cases are not like your comment where there’s a valid reason to explain something.

We know all your kinks now

Even on github they are public. Lol

Yup. Host your own instance and you could even write a browser plugin to make them visible to every user.

I don’t want votes to be public, but they already are, so.

Someone can easily host a website to leak this information and people should know, instead of believing they are private

I use OLED mode, then it’s a bug with the other theme colors, as it works for me without that workaround.

I’m on Connect and haven’t noticed anything displayed wrong. I must be lucky. Table work, spoiler work, embedded images work, emoji work.

So many Mastodon server, crazy. The Lemmy experience is so much better than Mastodon, strange that this is the major draw. Is it because of Meta?

One used to be able to disable the outbound click on Reddit, in the account settings, but default they track everything.

They’ll sooner or later appear here too, that’s sadly a reality all social media will suffer from now on. No filter can detect AI replies for long.

I love that I got this reference.

16 but I mostly browse all.

I’d advocate training an AI on removed posts and using that as moderator tool. The moderator starts to approve false positives until the AI is getting more and more precise. You could even gray out comments first, the AI sees as potentially harmful and have user vot them being viewable. While almost certain harmful will be collapsed and definitely harmful will be blocked until approved. That way it’s more gradually moderated and gives some power back to the users. Not sure how power and CPU intense this would be, maybe it could be shared between instances to load balance.

A motivational approach seams to be harmful to the Fediverse as it can be gamed and faked by bad actors and Lemmy instances are probably already larger than most discords. Discord is also pretty pointless with their unlock process, because 99% of the time, I’ve seen it be more of an obfuscation of where to find the “unlock” emoji to finally be able to chat. There’s no voice chat here, so all you could limit is functionality on a featureless platform. What are you going to do, remove the ability to post from new users? This already sucked on Reddit and was a bandaid at best. I remember grinding AskReddit with every new account to get over that pointless karma level to finally be able to participate in my old accounts communities.

Have you tried being nice to the mold for a start?

People care about Bluesky? Like at all? Interesting.

Really good video actually. For videos we also got to understand that this a lot of data and costs a lot of money, so if every content gets mirrored to every instance, there needs to be a different approach, similar to a raid system, where content is decentralized but still not loaded to every instance, else it creates huge energy bills and storage costs. Not sure how that is solved, plus the monetization. Maybe we’re in front of the future of the internet, maybe not.
