What plant is that?

Kalcifer OP , to General Discussion in When responding to a comment with multiple points, should one create a new thread (new comment) for each point, or should one make a single large comment containing individual responses to all points?

That's an interesting idea, but I feel that it overcomplicates things without much benefit.

I apologize if I've offended you, as that wasn't my intention — I'm only trying to understand your opinion. I'm aware that we have different opinions, I'm just curious what your rationale is for yours.

replying in individual comments is stupid and more confusing.

For clarity, would you mind explicitly stating why you believe that atomic comments are intrinsically more confusing?

OP’s wildly misunderstanding.

I'd say it's more just an overabundance of caution — rainwater collection laws aren't without precedent. Admittedly, given the context of OP's post, my comment doesn't warrant much concern.

Large collections of rainwater could disrupt water ecosystems. Admittedly, my comment doesn't warrant much concern given the context OP's post. Here is an article talking about Colorado's water collection laws. Here's a Reddit thread that offers some more information.

you should look at a website called Kialo. I haven’t used it in years and I don’t know if it’s active but it’s an interesting concept based very much on that idea

Ah yeah, I've heard of that site. It definitely seems interesting, but I'm not too keen on getting invested in another centralized/non-fediverse service.

New comments have to be approved

Hrm, this feels like it has immense potential for administrative abuse.

I can definitely see the service's potential, but I would like to see something like it that can connect with the Fediverse.

Kalcifer OP , to Lemmy Support in If instance A defederates from instance B does that mean that users on A will never see users from B?
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

I dont know if they can see my content but I dont think they do.

From what I understand, they should still be able to see your content — you are still posting to the network.

You can always ask the folks on .ml for they make the software.

Ha, well, @dessalines is a moderator of this community.

@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

So, IIUC, you're saying that if a user on A browses a community on C, they will never see a user from B?

@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

What do you mean by "it's standard"? As in that is the intended functionality? It shouldn't be — the whole point of blocking instances is for the user to be able to, well, block an instance, ie content originating from it no longer shows up.

Kalcifer , to You Should Know in YSK: lemmy.ml is managed by tankies, and lead lemmy developer is a tankie
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's likely both. The ratio, however, I'm not sure of.

How about supporting users who want to improve their community instead of finding a new one?

I support that as well. My initial point was from the perspective of users not originating from lemmy.ml being annoyed with how lemmy.ml is administrating itself. If the users of lemmy.ml wish to stay to try and improve it, then I fully stand behind them, but, at the same time, I still support lemmy.ml's autonomy.

It’s breaking the stated aim of open federation by tampering with comments, posts and mod records, which in turn get propagated or de-propagated to connected instances, right?

I'm not convinced that this is in conflict with the aim of federation. The whole point is to give people the power to create their own instances with their own rules instead of having to rely on a single central authority. The network isn't necessarily distributed — it's decentralized. An instance can administrate their content as they see fit. An instance cannot alter the content produced by any other instance. An instance can only manage the content originating from itself.

but 1) one instance (particular a significant one like ML) affects other instances

Would you mind being more specific?

they’re breaking the spirit of their own software by shamelessly abusing admin powers, in turn helping to normalize that behavior to the Lemmy side of the FV.

Hm, well, it depends on your perspective. The whole point of the Fediverse is to give people the freedom and power to control how they interact with the service. A server has the freedom to associate with the users that they wish in the same way that you have the freedom to consume what you wish. The spirit of the software is to enable people to have this freedom that otherwise wouldn't exist with a large central service. The way I like to look at the Fediverse is where each instance is like a country, and each community is like a regional/state/provincial government within the country, and federation between instances is like cross-border policies between nations.

a supposedly transparent [...] social network?

I'm not sure what you mean by "transparent".

a supposedly [...] user-run [...] social network?

It is user-run, in that any user can create an instance.

a supposedly [...] P2P social network?

It's not P2P. A P2P network would be distributed. The Fediverse is decentralized.

I agree with both statements.
