Davy Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Voyager@lemmy.world•Any Lemmy web clients that show notifications from multiple accounts at once?English3·4 days agoThanks, that’s what I was looking for. Seems weird that a client I haven’t heard about has the feature but the other more used clients don’t.

I wouldn’t mind recreating the cantina scene from the original Star Wars trilogy by walking into a bar and, in real-time, using deepfake technology to transform everyone into a random alien species from Star Wars.

Davy Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Shouldn’t Forgejo private repositories be encrypted?7·4 days agoNo? It doesn’t seem to be a use case they target.
The problem is that making a repository private makes users think their data can’t be seen so they may upload that kind of information.
If you want to use git to store sensitive data, you should encrypt it before committing / pushing it.
I’ll look into that.

Davy Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•One-man spam campaign ravages EU ‘chat control’ bill62·10 days agoPolitico’s framing leans pro‑legislation, subtly signaling support for the bill by foregrounding officials and advocates who stress enforcement while downplaying arguments about encryption and civil liberties. Its emphasis on the public’s “disruptive” tactics risks delegitimizing grassroots opposition by casting broad civic engagement as mere nuisance rather than substantive democratic protest.

I’d already seen it twice, was it necessary to crosspost it again? You could at least have waited a couple of weeks before reposting the same content.

Davy Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Looking for federated NodeBB instancesEnglish4·12 days agoI checked some of the forums in the link (https://nodebb.fediverse.observer/list) you posted, but it’s hard to tell what most of those NodeBB instances are actually for: many lack descriptions and the forum names don’t say much. I would have to read a few posts in each forum to figure out what each one is for. I found a literature forum but it only has three posts, I don’t want to make an account just to shout into the void, so I’m trying to post to it from Lemmy.
I tried posting to the literature community I found via Lemmy but the post never showed up on the NodeBB instance. I used Lemmy’s search with the target community URL (https://community.darkscribes.com/category/2/general-discussion), it found the community, and I created a post from Lemmy (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/54997372). I can see the post on Lemmy but not on the target NodeBB instance. Any idea why that might be or how to get Lemmy posts to appear on federated NodeBB forums?
Davy Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Fediverse@lemmy.world•A fediverse platform that lets you block whole topics, not just communities?English4·15 days agoI think moderating tags is the same as moderating any other content. If there’s a brigade, you can revert all tag changes made by the brigading users the same way you remove content posted by a user when banning them. That said, the moderation system could be improved. Reddit-style moderation is one of the biggest jokes on the internet.
Davy Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Fediverse@lemmy.world•A fediverse platform that lets you block whole topics, not just communities?English5·15 days agoYou don’t seem to get my point. For a platform to let me reliably filter a whole topic, the majority of posts need to be tagged with that topic first. Reddit/Facebook don’t do that, they have communities and loose categories, not consistent topic tags across all posts. Twitter only partially does it with hashtags, and hashtags are neither comprehensive nor applied consistently. I’m talking about platform-level, booru-style or collaborative tagging so blocking a tag actually removes the tagged content without me having to unsubscribe from dozens of communities or build giant keyword lists.

Davy Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Seeking recommendations for federated Q&A forums on Linux and software issuesEnglish1·17 days agoHonestly, I wouldn’t recommend adding the feature to mark comments as solutions. Websites like StackOverflow often have many answers that aren’t the best marked as solutions, and I believe platforms like Codidact have learned from those mistakes.
Reremovedtion is a key factor that motivates people to contribute answers. However, StackOverflow suffers from over-moderation due to the reremovedtion gained from moderating. I’m curious about how Codidact has addressed this issue.
Instead, consider allowing users to mark questions as solved rather than comments. Implementing a voting system similar to Slashdot, where users can categorize responses as helpful, funny, or other descriptors, might be more effective. This way, contributors are incentivized to help, as they can gain reremovedtion points. Then a leaderboard showcasing the most helpful contributors on a weekly or monthly basis could further encourage participation.
Feature Description Benefits User Profiles with Reremovedtion Points Allow users to earn points for asking questions, providing answers, and receiving upvotes. Encourages participation and rewards knowledgeable contributors. Question Marking System Enable users to mark questions as solved, rather than comments. Simplifies the process of identifying resolved queries. Voting System Implement a voting mechanism for answers (e.g., helpful, insightful, etc.). Helps surface the best answers and encourages quality contributions. Leaderboards Create weekly or monthly leaderboards showcasing top contributors. Fosters competition and motivates users to engage more actively. Categorization and Tagging Allow users to categorize questions and tag them for easier navigation. Improves searchability and organization of content. Search Functionality Develop a robust search feature that allows users to find questions and answers quickly. Enhances user experience by making information easily accessible.
Browsing not choosing. I didn’t say I would necessarily swap, just that I like to see other options.
