I’m pro net neutrality and all for getting it on the books.
But has any company broken net neutrality since it was repealed? I haven’t seen some of the stuff we expected. Maybe they wanted to lay low on it but like Comcast hasn’t restricted Netflix and pushed out 10x for Peacock stream or anything. I’m sure some stuff would go down eventually. But curious if this has happened
Someone should write up the feature as described and explain why this particular implementation solves issues people are having as a pull request on the repo. This would be much easier to implement than a custom tagging feature like others are asking for. Like yeah a custom tagging feature would be cool but that’s a ton of work and wouldn’t show up for quite a while.
Thanks to Marius, looks like when you interact with a server you get assigned a local id that’s tied to your username/email combo. So no global ID but all your actions on a server are tied to you. It wouldn’t take a lot to link that to your account on your home server.
Overall idk if it’s a big deal. Upvotes and such need to have a user ID tied to them in order to keep things straight. Unless someone wants to update the Lemmy software to start encrypting the GUID on the table an instance owner will always be able to see what you’ve voted on ON THEIR instance. Reddit totally can as well, but they had a reason not to put their users on blast (At least until lately lol).
It’d take some collusion to put that all together across the fediverse.
That’s only on KBin though and it’s a feature design of the KBin software. That’s because it’s based on Twitter where likes are public. Lemmy doesn’t publicly show those actions. Idk how far it goes in terms Kbin tracking guests though.
Just from what I understand myself, it’s that they are two different software setups. But they both use the ActivityPub standard that all federated content is using. KBin is different though in that it’s trying to be more like Twitter with Sub Reddits, than like Reddit with Tweeting. And Lemmy is just purely trying to recreate the Reddit experience. So like on Twitter, Mastadon, and KBin upvote is more of a like and people can see what accounts “like.” KBin and Mastadon share the same ‘microblogging’ feature which is like twitter. From what I understand they share microblogs across the fediverse.
And Lemmy and Kbin share communities/magazines together thanks to federation. So you’re on a magazine in KBin but I’m on Lemmy on Lemmy World looking at this community from Lemmy.ml interacting with you.
Overall I think if you like Twitter and Reddit and are fine with your entire history of actions being public KBin is perfect. If you just want a Twitter experience, Mastadon. If you want some more obscurity with your account like Reddit and only the Reddit experience, Lemmy.
Right now I think KBin’s feature parity isn’t too far off from Mastadon and Lemmy. But like the rule of any thing that combines two tools, it can’t be better than both separately. I think as Lemmy and Mastadon matures into their niches KBin will almost exclusively be playing catch up with both in the long term.
Shit, I’ll take a penny from each.
Yeah this is my concern with lemmy overall. Like if a server shutsdown, as far as my understanding goes, the communities and accounts go with it. Like yeah decentralized is great for democracy purposes but the hard line separation makes it a hard ask on time investment. And I’m sure it’s more likely to happen to larger instances than smaller since cost will be the hugest factor. I’m sure remaking your account isn’t a big deal but we’ve seen with Reddit a sub/community can be irreplaceable at times.
The first time a handful of large subs are lost on Lemmy I’m sure it’ll have great affect on how the community views Lemmy.
