Nowhere on the threadiverse is large enough to support that level of interaction, unfortunately.

You can help by using television@piefed.social though.

Are these tagged as bots?

Yes, it can. I’m from Piefed.social.

Lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, fedinsfw.app, piefed social have the bulk combined. Lemmy.ca and feddit.org not too far behind.

Lemmy.world has about 40% of the pop these days.

On Reddit, if I write a post in a subreddit and click Post, it is stored on Reddit’s servers, and anyone with a Reddit account can access Reddit’s servers and see it because we’re accessing the same monolithic system. On Lemmy, I’m currently posting to lemmy.world from a sh.itjust.works account in response to an account from programming.dev. On which of those three independent platforms will this message be stored? How could someone from, say, piefed.social see it? I genuinely don’t understand this fully msyself and I’ve been on Lemmy for a couple years now.

It’s stored on all of them. Piefed.social can see them because piefed.social is federated with sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world and programming.dev.

I don’t really see how to ‘fix’ the first part because its fundamental to what the threadiverse is

There’s one major oversight here that needs to be addressed if Lemmy/Piefed were to suddenly gain a glut of new users. How bans work.

Currently, instance bans and community bans are treated as two separate things. When a user is banned from an instance, you’ll often see in the logs a bunch of community bans alongside it at once. These are communities that user has posted on. An instance ban automatically applies hard-bans to communities they have interacted in from that instance. But the problem here is its only communities they’ve interacted in.

The instance ban itself is simply a rejection of federation. It doesn’t block users from posting in communities on that instance - only the community bans do that. It just means their posts won’t federate out. This means that an instance banned user can continue to be a nuisance in most communities (or all, if they are pre-emptively banned) on an instance locally - and the moderators of that community and instance won’t even know. With larger numbers of users would also mean larger amounts of trolls and incompatible users, which could greatly increase the chance of people simply vandalising communities and no-one even noticing.

Digg already came and went again

May I ask what your prior instances were?

No. Piefed and Mbin are separate software that reads Lemmy instances, but are not Lemmy instances.

Go to piefed.social and you’ll see or fedia.io for mbin.

Tbf piefed.zip doesn’t have much of a local so that makes sense for you, but the user above is on feddit.org, which is a long-running German-language (at least prominent) instance so it does make sense for them in that context if they’re German.

I didn’t watch so maybe you did namedrop, but it’s not just Lemmy anymore - it’s Piefed and Mbin too! (I saw you had a “Lemmy” category)

Not specifically age-verification, but they are considering checks of some sort at some point to deal with the bot problem on there. That’s at least one angle. They’ve also just rolled it out in small scale to suspicious accounts. So whether or not it is done for the purposes of verifying age, or just dealing with bots - I suspect it’ll arrive in the end once they feel they have the capital to do it.

As for the UK specific issues, it’s hard to get a concrete numbers because most people in the UK just switched to a VPN. In the event of Reddit implementing global ID-check measures, it wouldn’t matter what VPN you switched to - so the situation would be a bit different.

Lemmy.ml isn’t widely defederated to my knowledge.

I feel like your comment of (2) contradicts (3) to some degree. I agree the wider culture of lemmy is progressive/left, but that at least indirectly contradicts the prominence of racist content that you claim exists.

“Name me any popular media that centres around a husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend dynamic, where the man isn’t a moron…”

I don’t know. I don’t watch that type of show personally. I honestly couldn’t comment. I know that it’s a trope, I also know that it’s a dated trope and that shows like that aren’t made that much these days. It’s a 90s/00s media trope.

Aside from distressingly rare well-written examples of healthy relationships such as Babylon 5, the “foolish husband, responsible wife” trope is almost everywhere. It even figures prominently in a majority of advertising that features couples interacting with each other.

Oh no, not advertising! Woe is me!

I will never understand this obsession and crying about how random couples are depicted in 30 second advertisement clips. I live with adblock so I genuinely never see any of this. It’s honestly such a laughable thing to cry about.

As for TV, since you’ve bought up Babylon 5 let me cycle through shows I’ve seen on the matter where this dichotomy is not true in regards to man-woman relationships: Turk and Carla in Scrubs, Jack and Anne Bonny in Black Sails, Flint and Miranda in Black Sails, John Silver and Madi in Black Sails, John and Aeryn in Farscape, Holden and Naomi in The Expanse, Ed Baldwin and Karen in For All Mankind, James and Cassandra in 12 Monkeys, Rick/Michonne in TWD, The relationship between the leads in Twisted Metal, The relationship between the older couple in Night Sky (unfortunately cancelled). It’s even true in the poorly-written Witcher (Geralt and Yennefer). Now are many of these setups strictly “husband and wife”? No. I don’t watch shows focused around those themes generally. But these are equal relationship setups where the man is not depicted as an idiot, and the woman not a genius.

Name me a single TV show where the man isn’t a moron, and where the woman is not the only functional adult in the relationship, and I could likely show you 100 shows where the man is portrayed as a moron and where the woman is the only functional adult.

You appear to be characterising all TV shows as being family sitcoms with the “dumb husband” and “smart wife” dichotomy. You do realise this isn’t the only formula on TV, and is even less common than it’s ever been in terms of being made right?

Reddit is apparently going to put a stop the autoban bots.

Many of whom won’t be based in the USA.

You want a “papers please” internet and technology sphere, and you’re calling for this on a federated platform heavily populated by people who want to get away from all of that. What sort of response do you expect?
