Self-Hosting: Server: Easy (Leverage email hosting services) → Score: 18/20

Is it really self-hosting if someone else controls the data and software?

Though this content could flourish in pockets of the fediverse, the scary scenario of prevalent child sexual abuse material is not the case. There are many moderation tools, including shared blocklists, that prevent it. However, the idea that the fediverse is full of harmful content was used by Elon Musk to justify his anti-competitive decision to block links from X to Mastodon.

Didn’t he unban someone who posted one of the worst CSAM videos known?

If a post contains content that is not allowed, the post should be deleted, that’s it.

OK, but what about content that is allowed, but has certain restrictions, like needs to be tagged NSFW. The current workflow to get this changed is: A mod comments under a pot telling the creator to tag it NSFW -> Remove the post -> wait for the creator to edit the post -> restore the post. This seems needlessly complicated and labour intensive, no?

Most importantly, we shouldn’t allow that to happen via the API.

My view is that not adding this to the API will only encourage admins who want this to do it through less transparent means, like injecting fake activities into the sent_activity table. Most admins are reasonable people, and have good relations with their users, so if admins explained themselves then I think most users would be pretty accepting.

You’re free to start a “Should mods be able to edit user’s data?” discussion, but I doubt it would get much support, especially from reddit allowing this and it souring everyone to it.

I mean there’s been like 3 or 4 GitHub issues opened about this, so there’s clearly some demand for it. Should I make a post in !lemmy@lemmy.ml? So users not on GitHub can chime in.

You can read over the discussion here, but we will never allow mods or admins to act as / impersonate users, or edit their content.

I really don’t get this. Why is editing user content with slur_filter or modifying URLs accepted but allowing mods/admins to change the NSFW toggle isn’t? It also ignores that savvy-enough admins can edit user content with SQL queries.

Yeah, if I was building something production ready in Lisp, Clojure would be my choice even though I prefer CL. Ecosystem is ultimately king.

Oh, to be able to develop Lemmy with something like SLIME or Geiser, now that would be a dream. Too bad the CL’s library ecosystem is so much worse than Rust’s.

Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

Echoing @Die4Ever@programming.dev, it’s hard to comment on something so vague. Of course making things easier for users is an important goal.

Does this mean Lemmy 0.20 is now 1.0? What prompted the change?

https://fedipact.veganism.social/ has a search feature.

Why would an RTX 4090 make Python faster?

Been playing quire a bit of the new Dragon Age. I normally don’t play games close to release, and I’ve never played a DA game before, but I watched a review and it seemed like something I was in the mood for. Been enjoying it quire a bit, more than I expected. I just really need to do something about my thermals.

.ml is running the beta branch that actually started to apply image size limits to thumbnails, your app is probably using the thumbnail URL instead of the main URL and thus getting the compressed image.

This has been fixed https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4937

What do you mean by handwriting features? I’ve played around with Write a bit and it has some cool features (I really like the ability to make a series of stokes a link) but I wouldn’t call them handwriting features.

handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications

To be fair, we have it quite good in this regard between Xournalpp and Rnote. Certainly areas where we only have worse options.
