Fair enough. Could you edit your crossposts to the new version of the post that has some clarifications just so there’s no misscommunication about this anywhere (you could put the original under a lemmy spoiler block which turns it into a dropdown for people that want to see original wording, details on how to do that here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html. Or some other way you want)

For context this is for programming.dev specifially and affects our users rather than something on any fediverse software (figured I would mention that since it was cross posted into the main fediverse com with no context)

Reposting my answer to a comment on the main p.d post just so theres no confusion on this

• Processing is local. Were not sending data to an LLM but the method is hidden so bad actors cant bypass it
• The things that are checked are public (posts, comments, and dms that are also sent to other servers we dont control) and can be moderated on regardless of this. There isnt anything that breaches privacy
• Worst thing it can automatically do is temporarily remove a post/comment until an admin can approve or deny it just so its not there for people to run into (for example if someone spams slurs at someone else the someone else doesnt see that instead of it being there until an admin is able to come online)

comment was restored instantly since it shouldn’t have hit that message (ill probably try to get piss removed from the check). Just a way for admins to be able to check messages to prevent new accounts from instantly harassing people after sign up

if you mention a lemmy community in your post the post gets sent to show up in the lemmy community. Comments are automatically federated if you comment on a lemmy post.

lemmy posts are all federated to mastodon though if the servers know about each other

the bots still a work in progress, the removal for now still removes it for local users before an admin can look at the content for communities it can’t be fully removed from (false alarms then get unremoved though)

that probably would make things more confusing since it would sound even closer to c/technology. You also cant rename communities so it would have to be remade if any name change occured which would lose all the current posts, etc.

Pangora should be back up atm if you wanted a reference to what it looks like. It’s something I just havent been maintaining and updating atm since ive been focusing on getting some other projects finished and lemmy has been good enough so far on this side

cant add for a bit unless the user has a post or comment

should have access to my script to do it without that soon (just in exams atm)

I think the advantages of multiple communities outweighs the advantages of consolidating. Especially since things can be cross posted between the multiple communities easily

No longer able to access the content is referring to the federation. And the difficult to move off is referring to for example communities that have been attempting to get traction to move off of lemmy.ml

Not posting in the community doesn’t mean people there don’t interact with it. I have beehaw as an example on hand but im sure there’s other federation examples

I think its the kind of subject matter that fits programming.dev well and relying on outside instances for programming content with no mirror on our own site makes us too reliant on those other instances if anything happens in the future (e.g. extreme case but if that instance goes down. Lemmy handles it terribly since the community still exists as a ghost community with no federation but still viewable)

With similar logic we have a lot of the same communities as lemmy.ml communities including programmer_humor, opensource, etc. To give people an alternative spot to the lemmy.ml communities and so that we aren’t overly reliant on other infrastructure we can’t control within our instances subject matter

We typically dont close communities on programming.dev since then theres only one option for things

Ends up having things like people who use the community no longer being able to access the content and being difficult for the community to move off of it if something happens

e.g. beehaw.org is defederated from sh.itjust.works so any beehaw users wouldnt be able to use the community if the programming.dev one is closed

I had @icon there and the cache didnt fully update yet

Ah yeah I need to refresh the data, ill do that later

Nobody reported it as down to me, I can bring it back up

Been working on some other projects recently so havent really looked at that site much

We just added a couple more people to have server access and ideally that situation wont happen again

That problem specifially could only be reproduced on the main server so fixes couldnt be tested without taking the entire site down and at some point after the 0.19.5 upgrade (when the issue happened) it became too late to roll the server back since there was too many activities that came in but if it happens again after an upgrade we would roll back pretty much instantly)

dbzer0 does seem like a better option for general privacy discussion though

select them all, then ctrl+/

what frontend are you using, default lemmy one or one of the alt frontends .world has? Default frontend should handle it fine but havent checked the alts

versions that support (lower rectangle / higher number is more recent):

usage per version:

last major browser that didnt support which was safari updated to support it 4 years ago. update your browser

around half the instances I checked were affected, no idea why only them were affected. world is also currently behind in inbound federation due to the pure amount of activities its generating atm (only instance that is atm). We fixed the issues so it shouldnt be happening anymore (and I can see this post on world)

world, lemm.ee dont have them, beehaw does for example

no problem, been using it as an excuse to learn about godot as well

For people on other instances, you might not see posts 29 and 30 due to some issues (e.g. people on .world) but you can see them by going to https://programming.dev/c/godot
