offtopic but do you know who owns lemmy.com? It points to your instance and im confused why an instance isnt run using that domain instead of pointing it to yours

I dont want to block full federation i want to block image federation from other servers so when the big ones are attacked with csam my server doesnt download it. If someone uploads an image to a community on my server does it not federate and get downloaded by my server?

“Anyways they would have taken too long to implement” seems like a very odd take considering this is an ongoing issue that is pretty damn important. Some features that should be available is for instances to wipe images from certain dates, “muting” instances to prevent storing any images from instances that are not on an approve list and prevent users outside this list from uploading images to your instance, and an option to prevent any user outside your instance from uploading images to your instance.

Theres many mod tools like these that need priority right now but it seems like they keep getting pushed away

Stack Overflow employs it for moderation and quality control.

Ive had almost every question ive ever posted on stack overflow sites locked claiming the question is answered elsewhere even though the question they point to is not the same as mine. Its so frustrating posting on those sites cuz everyone claims i should do what im asking some other convoluted way or that the question is the same as others which are outdated or completely irrelevant.

You can open an issue using an account from a different forgejo instance. You can comment from your lemmy account, ideally you can also subscribe to issues and releases from lemmy/mastodon

Good UI, good name, good ethics. I like it. And theyre working on federation

But we’re constantly reading about Biden bypassing Congress to supply more weapons it Israel that are being used to kill children so maybe Biden could use these powers for something decent instead?

Thats how youtube is as well though? The default homepage for both is based on what you watch and like and comment on and some videos from accounts you follow. Or you can switch to the Followed/Subscriptions section for either app.

Its like that on every social media other than mastodon

Where do you see anything about arresting journalists or banning media coverage?

The g0v movement is an incredible open source movement making tools combating disinformation and improving democracy. We need the movement in more countries

Lemmy merch could be really cool especially if there was competitions/events for designing the merch

It’s one of the few places to keep track of new developments of covid mitigations, studies on long covid simplified for laymen, new open source air purifiers, safe and affordable far uvc developments, people calling out the CDC’s constant terrible job at public health, the fact both political parties in the US are pretending millions aren’t going to continue to die and become disabled the more we ignore covid and long covid.

Twitter and yes, TikTok, are the only places theres active people talking about this especially in ways laymen can understand and take action on. Theres some subreddits (some ive made) but i hate visiting reddit now.

Mastodon has a few people but discovery on mastodon is terrible. No one uses hashtags cuz hashtags kinda suck and nothing is filtered or recommended based on who you follow and what they like or who they follow so you have to wade through too much irrelevant stuff.

Off topic: I prefer chronological feeds but they should have a user customizable option to have some recommended posts in between the chronological timeline for discovery. The Mammoth app is doing this but only for the For You feed which is not what I want because its 90% news articles from big publications. I want a chronological timeline with some recommended posts based on parameters i set like “x likes by friends of friends”, “user was recently followed by x amount of people I follow”, “x number of posts by this user were liked by y amount of people i follow”.

How many countries can the US bomb and still not “be at war”?

I think we do @remindmebot

Or maybe we did seems to be down

I know this will be downvoted to hell but. My tiktok is 99% educational content since i didnt press like on any dancing or rage content videos early on. Also theres a stem feed.

Ok so apparently everyone here has a bidet? What’s a cheap bidet to start with?

How did they get into power i wonder?

There’s !anarchism@lemmy.ml and !abc@slrpnk.net

What country? Germany?

I use Rocket Money since it has all the features i need for free. It lets me sync all my credit cards and banks and see where my money goes in different groups or individually and it lets me set budgets for specific stuff like groceries or tech and warns me if I get close to the budget for the month
