@xtremeownage Downvotes do nothing here to trigger deletion or admin action.

@CynAq you don’t have to defed entire instances, if the instance themselves are willing to keep to their own principles. If that’s not kept or they’ve changed their position, it is actually Fedi culture to date, to defed (this is on instance to instance basis). Federation isn’t being connected to everyone, it’s practicing the right to associate. That’s why if you don’t agree with your instance, unlike closed systems, you have the right/freedom to move.

(The problem is the moving so far only carries your social graph not post history. So yes there is a penalty - but this also incentivize users to also push their admins to act more representatively. Assuming that’s what the majority wants)

@macallik
Absolutely. If this is true then for the other small to mid-size instances it’s not just an existential threat philosophically but technically. They’re expecting Threads onboarding might just knock out instances because of the traffic. Might as well limit or block just for your own performance metrics.

@YourClarke hahaha don’t worry. I’ve really only been on Fedi since Nov 22 and kbin at the same time as you guys set up this Lemmy instance. I think the redditors will get the hang of it, certainly faster than Twitterjaya (I’m in perma-eyeroll mode since you guys arrived, because those are my gang. I’m even here cos someone made a big fuss about Elon. Guess where they are at now? Twitter ppl are babies. Mastodon as a platform was at least a few years old and they whined so much. Boo hoo have to pick instance, dunno who to talk to, feed so empty blablabla. But look at you guys! Most of the two major protocols are still held together by string lmao and you make it work.)

The main thing about Fedi protocols is that janji we can roughly talk to each other. Some functionalities across the microblogs pun not shared (I’ve only mentioned a couple), but it’s doable, we make it work. Since joining my to-read tabs blew up and there’s less Main Character discourse. So it’s been a real nice change. But i was missing Malaysia content and community A LOT (hence my eyeroll at Twitterjaya). The current kbin state of things pun (like how when I’m logged on my kbin.social account i can see who upvoted) is probably because of what i explained above but also it’s not even three months old. Lmao the dev is just some Polish kid. Lemmy is much older but a lot of ppl avoided because the main instance and devs are full-on tankies. The Reddit wave made it moot since you can always 1) make your instance; 2) fork the programme if tak puas hati with those devs and maintain your own codebase.

In any case for your example you get Lemmy features when your account is on an instance running Lemmy and kbin when otherwise but not both at the same time. Takpe, it’s not gonna be too hard. And besides monyet.cc is set up, so at least you know how to hang out here. And from here, if you’re signed in as monyet.cc accounts, you absolutely can find other comms such as kbin ones too. Can one can one :)

@macallik and if you scroll down the comments, Byron from Universeodon, who did take the earlier meeting, did provide some vague points from the meeting. Relating to your point about big instances, it seems likely that FB wants to throw money at them so that they won’t become overwhelmed by the ensuing traffic (unlike the rest of us, I guess…) so they can demonstrate that the Instagram bridge (it’s an IG product) works.

@giallo @madjo @nameless_prole @stevecrox

@Annoyed_Crabby oh no, downvote also I can see, being a kbin user. It’s the other microblog protocols that won’t register anything. (if you feel nak lepas geram, this may be useful info, if you’re adding any fedi accounts to your timeline/stream/subscription view (I assume you guys have this)

@imaginelizard @dcx

@dcx @Annoyed_Crabby lol i think because kbin was written as being both link aggregation like Lemmy but also microblogging like Mastodon, Calckey, Akkoma etc. And before Reddit, the expectation must be because the main audience will be bloggers who’ll be visiting from federated spaces (chewah cam star trek). So upvote maps to likes; boosts is reblogs; downvotes go nowhere (since blogging platforms don’t have these).

It’s memang quite interpretative dance la - Calckey (and all the *keys) can give emoji reacts but it just shows up as likes on my Masto fork.

That’s why I thought i better bring it up. It semi looks like Reddit but backend lain sikit.

Anyway… I can see… But idk if adding a photo will add load so here’s the direct link of this comm on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/cafe@monyet.cc/t/77005/c-cafe-daily-chat-thread-for-23-June-2023#entry-comment-342733

Each comment has a More - then select Activity ok kesian runs away like Discord before the Trojan War

@imaginelizard

Double-checking for you guys on Lemmy: you can also see who upvoted right? It federates into a like on the microblog side.
