Because certainly they don’t think brigades harm communities if they won’t trust mods to set subreddits as private

“we won’t let moderators harm their communities by not letting them eg. protect their communities from brigades and similar harassment”

Sure you thought that through, reddit admins?

Microsoft had a dual screen foldable like that, then stopped supporting it

No, this will only lead people without access to Google Play to be forced to get it from somebody who has modified the app to fake the check.

So by default your instance respect mod removals.

You can change that as a server admin, so comments would remain visible to other users on your instance.

I think your instance is authoritative for content of comments, but the community hosting instance is authoritative for which comments are approved (other instances respect such removals by default)

Somebody should consider building a fork that works of bluesky’s content addressing scheme, that way communities can effectively be re-homed in full even if the server dies

Lemmy stores your posts and replies on both your host server and on the server of the community.

One interesting behavior to note here that is different from reddit is that while comments on reddit belong to the profile of the person commenting and is then imported to view in the subreddit (this is why you can edit comments after being banned, and why there visible in your profile even if removed from a subreddit), on lemmy the target community is instead authoritative and your host server will by default respect a deletion by community mods on different servers by also removing that comment from your profile.

It depends on the type of location, small remote locations might not even get their own local network

They’re not for long term storage, they’re for transient storage like photography, in particular stuff like surveillance cameras

What you’re suggesting can’t work

I sympathize with some of it, but you’re going too far

Content addressable posts like what Bluesky’s atproto does and cryptographic identity allows for portable posts and identities, and it even allows forkable communities as you can import and move entire conversations, and even mirror conversations that one team of mods may not like into another community (I made my first blog post about content addressable forums literally a whole decade ago)

And when posting to any /c/books the default visibility should be the same assuming a neutral reputation server and a neutral reputation user.

Literally impossible according to the CAP theorem (database terminology) in a decentralized network where not all servers federate with all (often because they just never have interacted and thus don’t know of each other)

You have to push the communities to participate in multiple parallel communities, that’s much more reliable. Together with a credible threat that the community can depose bad mod teams by forking, you have a much better chance of preventing bad mod behavior

You’re basically suggesting bluesky style label services, except as the only solution

And no that can not be the only solution avaliable, ESPECIALLY not in communities around important topics like security, health, or for marginalized communities, etc. Your suggested default would be a trashfire by default until people have opted into some kind of moderation filters. And few will review the filters they subscribe to.

You also haven’t solved the issue of how to get people to submit content to smaller communities

You have probably never seen a well moderated community, or at least not participated in one for long.

That already happens in the global popular feed though, I already see multiple variations of the same subs across different servers without subscribing.

Any shared agglomorated view based just on name needs to allow subs to opt out (I run /r/crypto on reddit, and it’s for CRYPTOGRAPHY and I wished all the spammers would go and set themselves on fire) and you absolutely can not force it onto everybody.

You’re also stuck with the same problem of less popular subs not getting many views because their content ends up last, because they don’t have as big dedicated userbases, and because this just doesn’t give them any increased visibility at all.

You also get an even worse problem of malicious servers faking high popularity to dominate (like when /r/T_D manipulated reddit) if you do it the naive way, every admin needs to filter bad servers. And new users won’t know the best place to post to (usually the place with the most reliable mods). In fact they won’t even understand why they’re asked to choose, so they’ll prefer what’s listed at the top, probably their own server, and thus the .world server keeps dominating.

You also can’t do thread deduplication without cooperating mods, so you get intense clutter. You also break apart sub specific culture if they get flooded by strangers.

The only way you can even get close to a sane implementation with your take is by putting a banner at the top of every thread in that view with the host sub description and the rules and forcing everybody to agree before interacting. Otherwise off topic content gets upvoted when it shouldn’t, sub specific events gets ruined immediately, and people will get pissed when they get moderated under rules they should’ve read but didn’t.

A hybrid view controlled mutually by mods allow you to advertise the different subs by highlighting their differences.

Honestly it shouldn’t be either. Moderation requirements are too different and the direction and culture can be way too different.

Multi-subs is better when you have this big differences between subs and between servers and no guarantee that the same name means same content. And what mod/admin gets to take down what and where? Do all the server admins have to get involved to block spam threads submitted to other servers? How do you even know what others can see from the comment threads as a reader in a thread, when propagation and filters can be so different?

What we need is better multi-subs instead. Like having the ability for mods to publish officially approved multisubs, and for coordinating mod actions (like pushing removal suggestions, as a dedicated report moderation queue from trusted mod teams that’s separate from normal reports).

The most complicated part here is deduplication of threads. That’s easiest to deal with by detecting crossposts and showing them as a single view with comments from all crossposts across all participating subs.

It’s a remote controlled web browser. It supports stuff like Netflix because the DRM support is maintained. When that stops it will get Blurayed and old players will fail to play new content

Or literally just reuse the Android TV name

That’s what they did until OpenAI started making noise and management pushed out everybody working on safety and quality to cut corners and rush something out to compete (poorly)

What you need to do is put devices which you want to access from multiple networks in a specific network / VLAN and then bridge it over

The remote playback control over network patents? I can’t see why those patents should be valid, everything there has prior art done in the 80’s

What I’m more pissed about is how Google killed Miracast (it’s technically still around but Google removed it from default Android and OEMs have to choose to enable it) and how they fought against 3rd party implementations to keep the Chromecast protocol closed.

I see there’s ongoing work for a Matter based standard for casting, I really hope that ends up getting broad support. We need something better than DLNA (and Miracast is technically DLNA over WiFi Direct). We need an open casting standard supporting Chromecast-like remote interactive content (the device is essentially a remote controlled web browser)

Because the dude comes from a corporate world where everybody’s known for stagnation, not quality, so changing the name gets rid of an association with stagnation BUT also gets rid of an association with quality if that’s the reputation you’ve built up and these types can not understand that because they’ve never worked in a place putting quality first

The casting protocol? Yes. Those devices? No. They’re moving to Android TV devices with different branding
