Find a mostly European instance. Problem solved.

Americans are desperately trying to globalize their concerns everywhere.

An alternative to do what exactly? To just follow people? What about you follow no one?

[-] PabloDiscobar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Don't bang your head on the wall with this one. Once we have more federations, the people who don't want to play this endless cat and mouse game will simple adhere to another federation, without any NSFW content, and that will be solved.

It has been requested from day one.

[-] PabloDiscobar@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

In the end it will be all about federating with the right communities and not about federating everyone anymore.

A lot of people who are defending "federate everyone" do it in the name of "fear of missing" and want the numbers at all cost. They are borderline addict to infinite content, but they are a danger to quality posting. You cannot mass post AND care about the quality of what you post. It takes time to find a good article to post.

Even here we will soon read about what Elon Musk had for breakfast and will post it in "tech". Some people want content, whatever the quality of what they read, even the title is enough for them. And sadly the current vote system works in their favor.

My guess is many of us will leave kbin for a more tight, content focused community. Also better tools will come up anyway.

"Fear of missing out"

We are not the cool guys therefore we don't exist and the party happens without us elsewhere.

Smite: During my third game I've never been insulted like that in any other videogame.

DOTA2 advise new players to turn off communications. How did it come to that?

[-] PabloDiscobar@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

They are expanding and are going to continue expanding regardless of how their power needs are met.

And this is exactly the problem we should focus on. They should not be allowed to expand like that. Either we are in a situation of emergence or we are not. Just stop them, make the political decision to stop them.

I would much rather we switch 100% to wind, solar, geothermal rather than ditching the internet.

Run the numbers, everything we don't do now to reduce the CO2 emissions will be paid a hundred times more later. Megafires, megadraught, etc.

[-] PabloDiscobar@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's totally useless as long as you don't shut down plants that are running on coal. Otherwise it's just adding up with other sources of CO2.

Google is still closely associated with California to many people (and to a lesser degree New York), but it's determined to change that reputation. The company is launching a $13 billion expansion in 2019 that will give it a total US footprint of 24 states, including "major expansions" in 14 states. The growth includes its first data center in Nevada, a new office in Georgia, and multi-facility expansions in places like Texas and Virginia. This is on top of known projects like its future New York City campus.

This plant is used to power up an expansion of google, which means it's just adding up CO2 to what we already emit. It's creating a fake impression that we are reducing our carbon footprint.

There is a simple solution: shut down the datacenter. No more power needed, no more water needed. The problem is not about CO2, it's about us refusing to let go our previous way of life.

And if you refuse this solution ask yourself why.

Blocklists will become the norm. We cannot manually block everything in /all. It was working for the first few weeks but not anymore.

Take for example the left and the right, both will have their respective blocklists and will publish them extensively. Now publishing your own blocklist will mean that you have a horse in the race.

It's tough to restart a community from scratch and I was wondering what was your thought process.

The upvote system is way too rudimentary to work efficiently. The upvote incite people to post to become more popular, not to post more interesting content.

One metric is not enough, the upvote system combines both "funny" and "interesting" in the same metric. Soon it's the funny content that is pushed to the top, because it's a more common characteristic. But this is how you get memes, emotional and basic screenshot of tweets to the top of the frontpage. And this is probably what you don't want.

So either we add more type of votes,for example two arrows, like an arrow "interesting" and another arrow "funny" or we get rid of them, leaving only the "report" button.

Get rid of reputation too. Some people are already chain downvoting in rage. What good do you think will happen out of a reputation score? People will just spit on you. People are emotional, don't put a gun in their hands.

"The downvote is useful to get rid of antivaxx"? You have a report button for that. And while the downvote button gets rid of antivaxx, it pushes memes to the top, destroying the platform itself. The benefit of the downvote button doesn't compensate for the flaws of the voting system.

The best way for an antivaxx to get his content visible? It is to get blocked! If he is blocked he cannot be downvoted anymore afaik. So it's all good for him. Even the block system doesn't really work as intended and has nasty side effects. Because yes, you won't see it, but other will, and they will adhere, and they will upvote and post more antivaxx stuff, and inspire more antivaxx people.

And I'm not even starting with the bots and scripting systems, which will detect who downvoted you and will "revenge downvote" for you. Do you want all your post to appear with a starting minus 5 attached to it because you posted about veganism 3 months ago? That's what you will get. All it takes is 5 people who don't like the way you talk, and a script. And all your posts will go down the drain as soon as you post them.

--> The system need either higher granularity or we need to get rid of the voting system, and keep only one button: "report", with a mandatory 60 characters comment with it. <--

Pinning what is relevant takes too much space. Do we have an alternative?

And did you monetize your infrastructure? If so, how?

The content hosted on Youtube cannot be 100% hosted legally. It is impossible to believe that you can find a full album of Pink Floyd hosted on Youtube and that's a legal thing.

This is an extract from the support page of Google:

Videos removed or blocked due to YouTube's contractual obligations

YouTube enters into agreements with certain music copyright owners to allow use of their sound recordings and musical compositions.

What is the bottom line here? Is Youtube big enough to be allowed to publish full albums of Pink Floyd? Or does Youtube pay a dime to Universal so they are allowed to publish the audio content?

My question is: If Youtube can go away Scot's free with this, why can't the fediverse? If we start to host massive video/audio content, what will happen to the fediverse?

No need for them to chase the next big platform like reddit/facebook/google+, and no need to create "official accounts" on each.

I see that DJI has a sub on reddit for example, but you need to register an account on reddit to post there. With the fediverse, you as a customer need only one account and you could access the instance of multiple companies. DJI could run its own instance, make their rules, federate whoever they want, (will probably allow respectable instances only, like what kbin aspires to be) and that's it, they don't have to adapt to the changing rules of reddit, of twitter, of facebook. They have one point for publishing, with full control over it, with video, firmware downloads, tech support, etc.

It's so much easier for them. A perfect neutral territory, no weird jurisdiction, no worries of being muted by a Trump for example who would impose a boycott like he did on Huawei.

I mean between tools, no instances.

I want to share pictures (pixelfed) and videos (peertube), do have to create an account on one instance of each tool that I want to use? Is there a single point of entry somewhere?

Someone here already has 12 subs on his own. We would be inspired to avoid the era of the power mods. Moding should involve an interest, not just collecting rings of infinity like it's a gold rush. How can it be a good practice in the long term?
