lemmy-ui actually groups them together. It all depends on the app / frontend implementation that you’re using.

actor_id is just the full url of an user. It has the username at the end. That’s why I have censored it.

In case anyone’s wondering this is what we instance admins can see in the database. In this case it’s an obvious example, but this can be used to detect patterns of vote manipulation.

New instances would have a lower voting weight by default.

No need to make all federation under a whitelist. It’s enough to ignore votes from suspicious instances or reduce their weight.

This. It’s only a matter of time until we can automatically detected vote manipulation. Furthermore, there’s a possibility that in future versions we can decrease the weight of votes coming from certain instances that might be suspicious.

At this rate we’ll extinguish ourselves before Meta even gets to the third E.

That’s exactly my point. I myself don’t care but there’s people who get triggered about certain content on their ALL timelines.

My biggest problem is that lemmy posts with images don’t show up with images on Mastodon.

Excellent article and it’s of course a very serious concern regarding Meta’s Project 92.

I want to use this thread to share one other concern that I’ve seen coming up constantly on Mastodon: overzealous instance admins that take things personally.

“You said X about me, I’ll block your whole instance”.

“I don’t like a particular nuanced view that instance staff holds, #Fediblock now”.

“Users of X instance reported me. I’ll block the whole instance”.

A few of these things happened in the last couple of days. We can’t have instance admins defederating because of trivial petty stuff. The only thing this does is drive users to larger instances, among which there might be corporate interests.

Thank you very much <3

Instance admins can block whole rogue instances.

Greetings from another mostly-NSFW instance (but for furries).

You’ll want to make sure you have a pinned post that’s SFW with links to recommended NSFW communities. That’s because people who are logged out can’t see NSFW communities in the list and without you having another place to announce those communities they will be impossible to find by users of other instances.
