What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little peach?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 16 hours ago

ACAB. Nothing good will come from inviting state-violence into this.

mathemachristian just pinged me with the results of his investigation proving that this is a fake

This reinforces my thoughts that this was an deliberate disinfo attempt, and the feddit crowd felt for it hook, line and sinker. Just pathetic when the whole charade collapsed under the smallest of pushes, and ffs, who seriously tries to paint anarchists as neo-nazis?

For anyone who's going to try this again, a reminder that I have an online presence going back 20+ years, or which 17 of them was in anarchist spaces as well and I've been consistent in my beliefs all this time. You're going to have to try harder than that to prove I've been playing a long game of a couple of decades...

Reddit and Xitter has shown us that humans are extremely "sticky" creatures unfortunately. It takes a lot of effort and pain to get people to change their habits.

I'm leaving this up because you did get affected by a mod action, but please try to follow the posting guidelines next time without trying to start drama about unrelated topics.

They won't be able to access it with a lemmy.world account though as lemmy.world has blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

!flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com same thing but maybe not as active

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I've been called a liberal and I've been called a tankie and I've been called an anarkiddie, but it's the first time someone calls me neo-nazi. I'm apparently all political positions at the same time.

I'm not certain that's true anymore. The early times of the rexxodus were something else. Most of the people doing outreach are not suggesting L.W anymore and power users like blaze are constantly agitating to move comms away. Plus the fact that the mod team of l.w. is rapidly losing quality and trust is also pushing more and more people away. I just don't think L.W. hoovers everyone anymore. The paradigm has changed. In fact lemmy as a whole is not gaining as many users as piefed.

And if that were true and people defaulted to l.w. right now, defederating would be even worse, as these wouldn't even know we exist.

Sorry but I just don't agree that pre-emptive defederation is the right play here. Even with reddit, we still do outreach and try to remind people lemmy exists and that they should move. I think it's better to keep federated and continue agitating for people and communities to migrate away.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I mean, as much as I like to pile on PTBs, they're only driving their own users away from their instance. A defederation because their admins keep abusing their power isn't sufficient imho, because they can't do anything significant. I feel like defederation should be reserved for cases where their userbase behaviour is overall harmful, such as bigotry, or speech which would drive away marginalized people from our instance to avoid seeing it. Having one of their mods degrade their own instance trust, doesn't do that and if anything would prevent their users from seeing our agitations.

That's my take on this.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

OK but this is just hearsay though. I'd rather pick up the pitchforks about something more solid.

 

My comment was removed for "misinformation"

Apparently the mod likes using euphemisms for their extracting wealth from other productive members of society and really dislikes being reminded.

 

The video I linked for reference

I guess I was "sympathizing with invaders" because I said "Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man."

Just patently ridiculous moderation...

Please take a look at the guarantee solicitations page and see if you can guarantee for some instances that you can tell are not spam

The Fediseer relies on crowdsourcing information about the fediverse, so the more of us doing this, the easier it becomes.

 

Cross-posted from "Threativore can now keep your blocklist in sync with your Fediseer censures" by @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com in !lemmy_integrations@lemmy.dbzer0.com


The new release of Threativore adds Fediseer integration. It will allow you to keep your instance blocklist in sync with your fediseer censures. Not only that but the integration can be as fine-grained as you want, supporting collating multiple instance censures, filtering only censures with tags you want, or only censures collaborated by 1+ other instances etc.

Check out the usage manual for all the variables allowed.

For people who only want some basic protection, the default settings will by default protect you from all CSAM and bigoted instances as tagged by lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.world and lemmings.world. This should provide a good initial blocklist even if you don't populate fediseer yourself Bbut you can of course mix&match according to your needs.

This integration also prevents too many changes happening at one go in your blocklist. If threativore detects too many changes about to happen, it will ask for admin approval via DM before proceeding.

This sync will run every 10 minutes, so if you're following the censures of other instances and they discover a new bad actor, you'll be almost immediately protected, thus converting a fediverse weakness (information distribution) into a strength (information collaboration).

Let me know if you wish to see any improvements.

 

Let's go for 5 and 10 at least!

Hey peeps, do you have some lemmy instances that you think are cool? We maintain an endorsement list on the fediseer which has gotten a bit stale lately so I think it would be cool to endorse some of the new instances popping up to help raise awareness about their existence and reward admins doing a good job.

I thought I'd just add some myself, but why take all the responsibility myself when we can crowdsource it? pirate captain hugging a treasure chest

So if you have any fediverse instances (not just lemmy!) you think our instance should be endorsing, please do mention them here, along with the reasons why (see the other examples in our endorsements).

There's a few open solicitations. Please take a look and guarantee for whoever doesn't look like spam to improve the health of the chain.

I should arrange somehow so that the newest instance to be guarantee'd automatically gets pinged when someone solicits one, just to keep things going as nobody pays attention.

 

Hey peeps, after hitting the frontpage of reddit, we got a good amount of new users on our instance, to the point where our admin team was struggling to keep up with the application forms.

More users means more issues and therefore more reports, so we are looking to onboard one more admin to the instance. If you are interested, these are the requirements:

Requirements

  • You must be an anarchist, and enthusiastically endorse the instance policies and our anarchist code of conduct. For example this means we also expect you to also be pro-piracy and not hostile to GenAI.
  • You must have been on this instance for at least 3 months, to ensure you understand our culture. Hopefully you've been a lemmy poster as well as we expect our admins to dogfood our service. If you were already a comm admin, even better!
  • At this point we are prioritizing women and/or PoC to reinforce our team's diverse perspectives. So please apply if you are even if you don't feel as confident.
  • At this point we are prioritizing timezones and countries outside of Europe and the USA to help us get better coverage and better perspectives.
  • You must be willing to use matrix as this is where we organize our instance and our real-time admin chat.
  • You must be willing to keep an eye on reports and applications throughout the day.

What is expected of you

  • We have a fairly chill community around this place, so it's not too demanding. The time requirements are not too large and we will keep expanding the team to ensure the load per individual admin remains low. So long as using this instance is your primary social media, the "workload", such as it is, shouldn't even be noticable.
  • Initiative is encouraged. It's cool enough for people to just want to help us keep this place tidy, but if you have ideas, you will be free to put them into action directly without asking permission all the time, so long as we can rollback easily.
  • You should have a anarchist democratic mindframe. We don't need a voting decision on everything (just do direct action), but you should be willing to be judged on your decisions and roll them back if they are unpopular.
  • Remember that while we're anarchist-flavored, we're not just for anarchists. So we understand that many of our users might be liberals or otherwise misguided. On top of that, we make a point of welcoming neurodivergent people who don't always understand social norms and might phrase things in a way that looks really bad when interpreted uncharitably. As such, we want to help people match our values, without turning a misunderstanding into a hostile experience through heavy-handed actions. So a softer hand and charitability is encouraged, while at the same time being firmly against clearly reactionary takes.

Applying

  • You can leave your comments here, which can allow other members of this comm to vouch for you.
  • Please mention your "credentials" and why you think you would make a good member of the team.
  • If you don't feel comfortable with sharing info, you can reach out to me (or another admin you feel more comfortable with) through PMs or matrix.

Spectating

If you're just watching this governance thread, feel free to upvote applications you feel are worthy, and/or comment on people you want to vouch for. If you're a supporter, remember you can also vouch for people directly through a threativore PM.
