  • I think i chime in for some comment. You got it right, i believe this open platform should stay as open as possible. But if i see that problems arise and users from this instance are having issues because of Threads or other platforms, i have to take action. And of course, there are borders to this openness.

    I’m very aware, that Meta and the other big corporations are interested in our data and want to use them for their profit. But i don’t think that defederation will stop them. They will harvest our data anyway, with just simple web crawlers.

    I support anyone who wants to defederate them, but i also want an open platform for people to have a place to express themselves and communicate. And with the new instance block feature of lemmy v.0.19, people are able to hide specific instances themself, if they do not like their content.






















  • Good point. If the main function would be implemented on all nodes and everyone would exchange information (hashes), which elements are harmful, we would maybe have a chance to skip central nodes from the equation. If the information is distributed throughout multiple maybe random nodes, but this would pose new problems - where to find that information.

    I believe if users are empowered to participate in combating the problem, almost all users would. The question is, how can the nodes harvest this? What can ordinary users do to help?

    I agree. Maybe the node can create some “unsafe” hashes and share them between the nodes - kind of like an antivirus creates hashes for malware. The user can always report to the admins - when there are more instances there are automatically more admins to handle the request themselves or with bots.













  • Hi, thanks for asking and you’re welcome, happy you enjoy it!

    Right now, i love to see people contribute, share and comment with each other. This confirms to me, that people are having fun and enjoying being here.

    For anyone interested on helping out moderating and maintaining the site, DM me and i can see what i can do.

    For anyone that is interested in contributing some money for the cause, i’m in the process of setting up various donation sites and will update you as soon as they’re ready.

    Saaali - es wunderet mich schochli über die viele Bünzlis da, aber wenns scho mal da sind machemer doch öpis.

    Es git en pfoschte, wo mer au chan frage rund um lemmy und s fediverse stelle, da ischer. Ich versuch dir trotzdem relativ churz und knapp dazu e antwort z geh:

    Feddit isch kei Technologie oder so, sonder eigentlich sochli “s Fediversium (Reddit)”. Also so hans ich verstande.

    feddit.ch wird mit de Software “Lemmy” betriebe und isch Teil vom Fediversum, es dezentrals Netzwerk, wo alli Communities, Pfoschte und Kommentär unterand unstuscht und verfüegbar macht. S Fediversum bestaht uns ganz viel verschiedene, unabhängige Instanze wo Programm wie da s Lemmy unterenand via “ActivityPub” Nachrichte ustusched. D Idee wär, das es nöd nur eis grosses Medium wie z.B. Reddit git, wo alles chan kontrolliere - sondern viel chlini, wo eigeti entscheidge träffet.

    Ich hoffe das hilft chli.
