@Natanox On https://piefed.social (different software which federates with Lemmy) I've defederated and banned pretty much all the tankies. Give it a try!

@trinsec Ah yes, good point about the unsubscribe. Thanks!

@trinsec Yes. When you subscribe to the feed, behind the scenes PieFed subscribes you to all the communities within.

If the feed owner adds a community then all the feed subscribers automatically follow/join the new community too.

#PieFed just added a multi-reddit feature, which we're calling "Feeds". It combines multiple Communities (actors of type "Group" in ActivityPub) into one.

Feeds can be followed from other PieFed instances, which will subscribe the follower to all the communities in the feed.

Try it out at https://piefed.social/feeds

It's similar to PieFed's concept of a Topic https://piefed.social/topics, except topics are maintained by the instance admins. Feeds are crowdsourced and federated topics.

Great to see a #Fediverse News group on #PieFed. Let me know if you have any issues, @atomicpoet

@quoll Apparently the same person owns chapo.chat too so that one could go the same way.

oh no

@maya Check out "Clean Architecture"

@strangething @mastodonmigration Yep Lemmy is thing but I believe PieFed is a way better thing. See https://join.piefed.social/features

@mel1 Try Python, it's quite beginner-friendly - https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers

The Letterbook team have published some research into moderation tooling & strengths+weaknesses therof on the Fediverse: https://letterbook.com/blog/post/2024/11/18/moderation-tooling-research.html

It contains some great analysis and recommendations, check it out!

@timClicks Yep, it's quite something. The botanical gardens is really good too, very big and diverse. Cheap bus fare to get there.

@jerry It goes off the rails at the instance choosing step. They chose an instance that federates too freely.

Let's look at https://joinmastodon.org/servers.

- Mastodon Covenant requires "active moderation of racism" but not defederation from racist instances.
- No indication of defederation amount.
- Lists instances with open sign-ups (aka loose moderation) first.
- Who evaluates alleged violations of the covenant? Is there anyone?

Adding some features similar to https://gui.fediseer.com/ might help.
