It could be some AB testing

[email protected] is decent if you’re looking for the more technological side, since the rules filter out

• Minor app updates
• Government legislation
• Company news
• Opinion pieces

Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

This is the key bit. It’s good to try and make safer online spaces. But Reddit’s automated moderation has been bad for a while, and this might get more users caught up in false positives

I’ve seen comments tagged as abusive regardless of the context:

• someone quoting a news article
• someone making a hyperbolic joke (especially in gen-Z subs)
• actual abuse

For well moderated subs, the vast majority of those reports became false positives over time. For the mod queue, this didn’t affect the end user since mods can dismiss the false positives. But automated ‘scores’ won’t account for that.

We’re going to see even more annoying algospeak like “unalive”, only it’s going to be in news quotes as well

I think it’s a joke about dead internet theory, rather than userbase size

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

The joke comes from an increase in bot use on Reddit, and the subsequent false positive / false negatives in trying to figure out which ones are bots

Lemmy has that problem too, but it’s much smaller in scope. Mostly because there’s less of a reason to try and control the narrative on this smaller platform, but also because the goals are different. Lemmy instances get no benefit from a bunch of fake engagement, and public upvotes makes it easier to catch manipulation

Cross posted to [email protected], and looks like someone already shared it on [email protected]

‘upperBalcony’ is assigned a value but never used

Ok but still, what if

I think the important part is about who is running the server, rather than who made the software

The fediverse is interesting in that context because each instance can decide where they set up the infrastructure or how they process data / requests. The same applies to self hosting

I saw an article that outlined which country each fediverse platform “originated” from, such as Canada for Pixelfed and Germany for Mastodon. That’s fun to know about, but otherwise not important to users compared to the instances themselves

At most it might speak to which laws will govern the project itself, but even then someone can fork a project that goes astray

I’m not familiar with Komoot, can you share what features you’re looking for?

If it’s similar to what I’m thinking of, these two might be relevant on the selfhosted side

The second one might be getting social features?

For apps, I think this is what people recommended for hikes/trails

I was looking into k-9 mail and it seemed decent

What stuff did you want to have in a mobile app?

The email servers themselves are separate (ex. Gmail, your school email server, work email server, etc.).

Thunderbird / K9 are clients that let you access the email on your device

So they should all be compatible with each other

Odd, I’ll see if we can figure out what might be happening

It’s odd that something is causing it to be unpinned afterwards. Is it unpinned everywhere that you’ve checked, or those instances in particular?

I’ll pass this along to the others

I have only tried Zen from your list and it’s been nice so far. The most recent update last night broke something with the multi account containers, but other than that it’s been smooth sailing for months.

Ladybird looks promising but it’s not out yet. Planning to try switching to it when it’s out.

Arc is apparently dead (or dying), but it was chromium based, VC funded, and Zen does most of the same things anyway. https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/24/24279020/browser-company-ai-browser-arc

Thanks for sharing! I think the image helps a lot with getting the post seen :)

Did smarttube have custom feeds? I only saw playlists (where you add videos to them manually) and the ability to pin individual channels to the sidebar.

What I have in mind is an option that lets you scroll through the recent content from a group of channels (ex. cooking, travel, self hosting, tech review, etc.)

Very cool! Have you explored running this on an Android TV at all, since that’s what I was thinking of trying this on. That way you can flip through channels without needing to deal with login on TVs. Also I don’t think YouTube supports making feeds for channel types (ex. Cooking etc.), whereas an RSS feed would make it possible

I may be wrong, but I think his content was more for a younger audience? I don’t have many examples, but the people I remember seeing watching his stuff were around 5-10 years old

What’s the little guy snacking on 😄

I went to grab Bobby Tables and found this new variation

Yea totally, not sure why I didn’t do that sooner
