gotcha. Thanks for the info

They did test librewolf. How does arkenfox compare to that?

My objections to brave have less to do with privacy concerns and more to do with concerns that I have giving Google full license to be who develops the blink engine and determine the future of the web

Agreed. all of the bot replication content I've seen on Lemmy getting automatically copied from Reddit has been hard to engage with because the titles aren't informative and the comments are awash with bot replication comments with no engagement from Lemmy users. I understand the urge to pump up the content here but I think the replication bots actually reduce the ability to engage and enjoy Lemmy.

The question I would ask is, what do people value a out the fediverse and the threadiverse? Personally, I like being able to engage with excited and interested users. The replication bots are noise standing in the way of this

Then why use a platform with federation / defederation as a core feature? Why not Nostr or SSB? Why activitypub?

Basically, every major instance that isn't sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, lemmygrad.ml, or exploding-heads. They moderate in favor of "federate by default, defederate if it becomes a problem, refederate if the problem is addressed"

Aye, and here's why. Exploding heads are not coming into our space and having discussions in good faith. They are acting as a troll farm and being abusive toward our members, and generally not following the rules of the road laid out for our instance. "Beehaw defederated us and I didn't like it" isn't a valid argument as this is a different situation. Beehaw defederated from here because they couldn't deal with the scale of moderating all the traffic coming from here which including abusive troll accounts. Exploding Heads is going by the alt right playbook and is almost exclusively being abusive, even if it's a small number of people.

And it is noticable. I see some people arguing that individuals who don't like that instance should just block it themselves, but that's not an available function of the threadiverse yet. You're saying that our server at large should endure abuse coming from that server because someday the functionality may be implemented for individuals to handle it themselves. I don't think this is a good moderation strategy and will only allow abusive actors to find foothold.

They cannot

(except for that Beehaw is also defederated from lemmy.world)

Debian, perhaps?

No. People like tits.

If possible what I've seen help very much is to have a second person join on as being the "ticket review guy." That person will act as a community manager and really won't do that much coding. Usually they'll have a technical background and will understand the code they're reading in pull requests, but for the most part they're there to allow the primary code writer to focus on writing big features and executing core vision while the community at large contributes fixes, tweaks, and features that hadn't been baked into the core vision
