Big Bidet at it again
Indeed, the plot thickens.
Maybe the farm bot owner decided to make all comments by a single bot now.
I edited the title after their comment, it wasn’t that clear at the beginning
It’s a pun. The admin name is @sal@mander.xyz, so “Salamander”
Indeed, I hadn’t looked at the full context as it’s a month old thread.
They built it with decentralised identities so that users owned their identities and can move about freely.
From the top comment here: t
Then, there’s the “relay”. Which to Fediverse, the only thing similar is also relays, but they work differently. On BlueSky, they relay every post and interactions of all the PDS data that connect to AppViews. I do not think there’s a choice on what is relayed, just a huge firehose. That being said, they’re not optional like Fediverse. To complete the network, relays are required on ATProto and apparently could be expensive to host, so right now, it appears the only relay is hosted by BlueSky the company. Which makes things slightly centralized.
Could you provide an example of a relay that is not managed by Bluesky?
You saying people could “easily” move to another instance isn’t reality. People already find the Fediverse too difficult, as you and I discussed under a different thread people actually care about their data which also includes their posting history.
If we already discussed this, then is it worth it to go over this again?
Some news sites had an interesting take on comments sections. Before you could comment on an article, you had to correctly answer a 5 question quiz proving you actually read it.
It would be interesting to try that on Lemmy for a day. People would probably not be happy.
I saw a comment the other day saying that “the line between the most advanced bot and the least talkative human is getting more and more thinner”
Which made me think: what if bots are setup to pretend to be actual users? With a fake life that they could talk about, fake anecdotes, fake hobbies, fake jokes but everything would seem legit and consistent. That would be pretty weird, but probably impossible to detect.
And then when that roleplaying bot once in a while recommends a product, you would probably trust them, after all they gave you advice for your cat last week.
Not sure what to do in that scenario, really
1·5 hours agoI thought about it as a way to encourage communities members to post at least once a week. Can even just be a scheduled discussion thread, the objective is to keep it active.
And if even once a week is not doable, then maybe it’s time to consider consolidating with a more active community on the same topic?
It does, but I try to mostly list communities with at least 1 post in the last week, this one hasn’t been active for a month
Sounds good, but I meant even about Lemmy in general :D
Anyway,
- !newcommunities@lemmy.world can be useful to discover communities
- !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca can give you a few pointers too
Well, you don’t show them in the best light ha ha
It seems you are new here, welcome!
Feel free if you have any questions
Interesting.
I opened that thread on a local community a few weeks ago to discuss that topic, only one other person had an issue (work firewall was blocking it): https://lemmy.zip/post/23138027
What I like about lemmy.zip is their regular very detailed reports: https://lemmy.zip/post/23138027
About the picture upload, do you think it would be possible to allow new users to set up a picture immediately, and increase the limit a bit?
Lots of farmbots going down looking at the servers graph
