Feature requests for a lemmy moderation bot
cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/18411894
> Hello Lemmings! > > I am thinking of making a community moderation bot for Lemmy. This new bot will have faster response times with the help of Lemmy webhooks, an amazing plugin for Lemmy instances by @[email protected] to add webhook support. With this, there is no need to frequently call the API at a fixed interval to fetch new data. Any new data will be sent via the webhook directly to the bot backend. This allows for actions within seconds, thus making it an effective auto moderation tool. > > I have a few features I thought of doing: > - Welcome messages > - Auto commenting on new posts > - Scheduled posts > - Punish content authors or take action on content via word blacklist/regex > - Ban members of communities by their usernames/bios via word blacklist or regex > - Auto community lockdown during spam > > What other features do you think are possible? > Please let me know. > Any questions are also welcome. > > Community requested features: > - Strike system > > Strikes are added to a certain member of the community and the member will be temporarily banned within a time period if their strike count reaches a certain threshold > - Post creation restriction by account age > > If an account's age is lower than X, remove the post.
Should one remove all Reddit posts and comments?
Do the advantages of deleting one's entire Reddit history outweigh the disadvantages?
I have previously nuked my first Reddit account because it felt satisfactory to be completely detached from a platform one considers unethical/bad. Though, I have garnered quite some history on a second account—because Duty Calls*, of course—and I'm considering doing the same.
However, I don't want to do it impulsively. I think I might be blind to some disadvantages. What do you think?
Hello From Friendica - Quick Activity Pub cross compatibility test
Hello From Friendica - Quick Activity Pub cross compatibility test
Hi, sorry, I hope this isn't to spammy, I was revising some writings on the various social media protocols and wanted to test some stuff before I stated it as fact.
Anyway, I might as well provide some potentially interesting information instead of just completely worthless spam. What it appears (and confirms if you're seeing this) is that you can post to lemmy via a blogging/microblogging instance as long as you '@' the lemmy community. First line is the title and the rest is the post itself.
Have a good night everyone.
edit: testing edits
I think thread deletion is problematic and needs some consideration and changes
A large percentage of threads I've created or participated in have been deleted. Worse is that when visiting the URL everything is completely gone.
This is much more drastic when compared with Reddit thread deletions, where the thread is there and so is the discussion. And the creator of the thread has access to their content.
The Lemmy method discourages people from participating in threads and creating high-quality content, much more so than the Reddit method.
A bunch of lively and useful discussions on Lemmy have completely disappeared. And it makes it seem like a waste of time to even contribute content here.

EDIT: I see that the "fediverse" link for posts has been removed. I posted this to lemmy.ml from a lemmy.world account and there's no way for me to get the lemmy.ml link now. And when I crosspost it it shows a lemmy.world link instead of the lemmy.ml one. I think this should be changed [back].
Does feddit.de work?
Does feddit.de work? ==========
Good morning everyone, we noticed that feddit.de has been unreachable since last night (server error). But how come I from Mastodon or Lemmy.ml can find some messages published this morning? Maybe the problem is only with the web server? While can you still connect via the app? Can anyone give me an explanation?
Is there any real or serious conversation or work around the idea of a feature-full social media browser?
Is there any real or serious conversation or work around the idea of a feature-full social media browser?
Basically something like a web browser but for “all the social media” along with useful organisation features too.
For locked down big social APIs, this makes less sense nowadays, but for open alt-social systems, \it is likely the most valuable promise of such systems\ that they can become like the web, reachable through an awesome all-in-one app.
A thought on "moderation bubbles"
A thought on "moderation bubbles"
A plurality of contentiously incompatible but independent moderation "spaces" ... is the only way in which the internet is good at digesting substantial and contentious topics.
\* conversations on the internet generally suck. \* On any contentious front, strong moderation can run the risk of "echo chambers". \* For those willing to survey multiple "bubbles", an interconnected plurality provides a de facto dialectics.
Thus federation for the win!

Following #lemmy communities from #mastodon has gotten much better
Following #lemmy communities from #mastodon has gotten much better
Version 19.4 introduced automatic hashtag-ing (see https://lemmy.ml/post/16585416)
Posts get federated with a hashtag matching the community name.
The important bit is that comments to posts \don't\ get the tags.
Which means you can follow the corresponding tag on mastodon and get a feed only of posts.
EG: #asklemmy
If you're starting a community, giving it a unique enough name could help prevent overlap too.

Iceshrimp: A #csharp fediverse platform
Iceshrimp: A #csharp fediverse platform
Was just told (by @Subversivo ) about this: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net
\#Iceshrimp are rewriting the whole thing (a JS/Node #misskey / #firefish fork) in C# with Blazor for the frontend.
Cool to see. Should handle the performance issues that have plagued the \*key forks and maybe provide a new general branch of fediverse platform.
What lang/stack isn't represented on the fediverse now? C++, Kotlin?
Time for an ICQ for the Fediverse?

UI differences are a big factor in the success/failure of decentralised federation of diverse platforms and content
UI differences are a big factor in the success/failure of decentralised federation of diverse platforms and content
And this seems a good example: bridged #mastodon posts onto #BlueSky which has a lower character limit than Mastodon.
So, just like #lemmy posts on mastodon, you don't get the full content of the post (which ends with an abrupt ellipsis here) and have to take a link to the original platform.
However powerful the underlying protocols, this isn't far from screenshots.
The fediverse won’t succeed at putting up a #Stackoverflow substitute and that’s a problem?
The fediverse won’t succeed at putting up a #Stackoverflow substitute and that’s a problem?
Just an impression: All the pieces seem to be there. But what’s required is a team, with devs, PMs and coordinators, dedicated to making a particular place in the #fediverse .
That’s resources and decently sized financial and organisational demands, especially to get a critical mass of users.
Is the fediverse up to that challenge? If not, is it an issue worth addressing?
Ideas to build a federated StackExchange alternative

Codeberg was asking about this. The linked toot by a commenter points to :

@deadsuperhero @fediverse You cite an abandoned project and withdrawn WebMonetization FEP and then say "most efforts have not advanced beyond the planning stages". This statement is misleading because those planning stages are far behind us. Mitra had subscriptions since 2022 and there are other projects that provide monetization options, like PeerTube Lightning plugin and PeerTube Premium Users plugin. FEP-0ea0 and FEP-0837 were published and implemented. Your co-author @quillmatiq should be well aware of these developments because we talked about it
Why did't you mention Mitra, the open source and fully decentralized Fediverse service that also offers paid subscriptions, and which has been around for several years?
@copygirl I have to say threads is much better now than when I first used it. The algorithm kept trying to push me into transphobic garbage.
Probably a webgl problem. I had to use ungoogled chromium to open the page. I think it works on regular firefox too.
If I can figure that out I would definitely do that.
I just mass-edited my Reddit account with https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite. Powerful features and free.
@[email protected] it's on blog.elenarossini.com (specifically the newsletter / series The Future is Federated)
@Dirk How should they achieve it? The Fediverse contains of a lot of different systems that offer so much more than Threads could ever do.
@Dirk @MrScottyTay Also I think that one should ask the question, what Meta could do with the data and what it is doing with the data of their users. For their users they use the usage data to present them a feed that the users appreciate. Also they use it to place ads inside of their apps. Also they use the data to serve you ads outside of their system on ad networks that use data from Meta.
All of this is technically not possible for Fediverse users.
@flancian @Dirk Threads has about 200 million monthly users, 33 million daily users. The fediverse has just under 1 million monthly users. Do you really think that 0.5% has any relevance to Meta?
Also: What data do you think Meta will be able to use - and for what? They can't use this data to serve you ads, simply because they don't know you. They can't track you around the web because you don't have a Meta account.
@copygirl @Dirk yes, I also get the feeling this would not work in a compliant setup but it seems like a good idea to test this in e.g. a federation test suite.
Maybe @evanprodromou would know how this should work, or would know of someone who might be testing this kind of scenario.
There already is a symbol for the fediverse:
This has existed for years already, is used widely, and IMHO looks way better than this dull attempt. I see no good argument in the campaign website for using this new one instead.
As several people have already pointed out on the other thread, we already have a well-established fediverse logo:
