How Susceptible Are You to Misinformation? There’s a Test You Can Take in c/science@kbin.social

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

I think that's the point. If you looked at a headline for something you already know about, then you already know if it bogus or not. If you already know how reliable the source is, then your exposure to risk of accepting bad information is reduced. The point is to see if you are susceptible to new information that is bogus, and if you can recognize when a source you haven't seen before is unreliable.

On Kbin, Lemmy groups are called "magazines," so all you have to do is go to the magazines list, search for what you want, and subscribe. You can even subscribe to magazines hosted on other servers from there.

Federated identity and integration thoughts (kbin.social)

So an earlier post got me musing idly on the topic of integration between multiple federated services. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to integrate video hosting, discussions, microblogs, image sharing, and so on in beautiful seamless glory! Post a pic in Lemmy, it's automatically added to your Pixelfed album; upload a song to your NextCloud and people can see it in your funkwhale profile. That kind of thing.

One of the things that I figure will be useful reach that goal, I figure, is a form of federated identity management. Linking accounts can be done, but there would be a lot of advantages to having one account that knows where the different services you subscribe to are located, allowing the integration to happen seamlessly in the background.

And looking around, I see that it already exists as a concept, but I can't seem to find anyone discussing or implementing it in the Fediverse. For something that would solve a lot of problems, including decentralized (and self-controlled) identification, SSO, and account migration, it seems like something that everyone would be jumping on.

Am I missing something?

I'm not sure. Let me Google that real quick to see.

Sometimes, security just means not being the low-hanging fruit.
