OpenStars

I have to be real wit u: this... this OP graphic MIGHT NOT BE CANNON!🤯

Flavortown?! Somebody try to stop this madman, he's turned evil I tell you!!?

Look, I have proof: Guy has a beard - you KNOW what that means right!?!?

Meanwhile in the Delta quadrant...

Oh ahem Star Trek right...

My take-away here: sometimes diversity demands that we go beyond Star Trek for the sake of the joke? 🤣

That's wonderful! Now it should properly fill up my Chilling feed once more:-).

And too with each such issue fixed PieFed will become ever more stable, which is far more wonderful. 😊

He's so fast!:-)

I mean... true but...

There's only so much Russian outright propaganda I can stomach at one time, so even if it's "less" it's still "too much" at the same time?

https://lemmy.ml/post/21927716 - edit: to be clear I'm not talking about the post, but rather the comments within it.

Sigh... I used to be that way. But it does get exhausting, and I now prefer to spend my time in other ways.

Great! I don't really want the interlinking with Mastodon, but if you do... and like that interface, then that's wonderful. It's definitely quite polished. I don't think you can user-block lemmy.ml users there like you can from PieFed - and another plug for PieFed is future integration with PixelFed and Loops, though tbh I'm not sure I care about that either, like Mastodon:-). Though being able to block users from Lemmy.ml and especially Hexbear.net (my two previous instances after Kbin went defunct did not defederate from either of them) definitely I see cleans up the conversations considerably. Not everyone wants that ofc, but it's a VERY nice feature to have, to avoid so much of the gish gallop, reverse, didoing, the card says moops, and other "control the conversation" tactics that make me feel like I was reading content from a toddler... or a Trump supporter.

Hey, whether you want to use it personally or not, will you let me know if you see a way to block users of an instance? Someone said that Kbin used to have that, but I also saw a feature request for Mbin to add it, so it's not entirely clear to me, without creating an account to find out, whether Mbin provides that functionality or not?

It might though - don't underestimate how much some sheeple prefer to simply be taken care of, rather than e.g. make a simple change to a config file. They will allow companies to sell all of their data, and not blink an eye. X is enshittifying for entirely different reasons (political ones), and Reddit for sheer stupidity, and Google as well, and... well but anyway, look at how many people are still on them, as opposed to here.

But please remember that in order to enjoy such diversity of opinions as you mentioned... we must become intolerant.

To the intolerant. There is no faster way to shut down conversations than to allow bullies to dominate everything within their reach.

So long as conversations can be kept "fun", there will naturally be many more to follow, but when they cross the line, then fun-time is over and the people go home. Unfortunately, modding efforts are in short supply here - not as limiting as content creation, but still a constraining factor.

I'm not sure what you mean by the latter - b/c in this case the community definitely exists, so "creating" it if the ID were to ever not be found would lead to... well, it could have lead to exactly something like this, actually? Also, would you really want to pull in posts from a community that doesn't already exist on a PieFed instance? Why even, especially if nobody has asked for it? So maybe instead of find_or_create, just a find_or_ignore?

But I have zero experience with ActivityPub, federation, or even much threaded-style programming, so I will leave such to you experts to puzzle out the actual solution!:-)

Yeah and 92 posts from a single community (for the 2nd one, updated more recently) does seem excessive, but then again there has been a HUGE flurry of daily posts there (https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward) these last few days so... actually fairly believable. Especially if edits to a posts' content count towards that stat (I have no idea, just throwing that out there:-).

Though it is also strange that the 1st community is shown as having been updated a few hours ago. Except... those don't show up, at [email protected]? So maybe those updates are for comments/votes for the older posts, while somehow the newer posts are being slurped into the 2nd community, which then hides them from the end-user's view.

Anyway I don't know how to take this further to diagnose, but I hoped that bringing it to your attention could be of at least some use!:-)
