Interesting, is it actual anonymity or just static obfuscation where after simple data analysis you'd be able to tie all past and future data to the user moving forward? Do you have the source for that? I have issues finding anything despite trying out different keywords.
No, I just happened to see the notification for this post on matrix on my phone so I manifested my presence to critique lemmy only to afterwards dissipate into nothingness like I once was.
I support it but it feels pointless given it's just trying to treat symptoms and not the core issue which is the ability to get them in the first place. I don't think that there's even any good solution for that given the decentralised nature of the fediverse which sucks.
If you have any questions I will answer them but preferably on matrix given I don't use lemmy/github anymore so there's a good chance I'll miss them. @martineski:matrix.org
Alternatively you can join the matrix space for this project following the link on the sidebar. I use matrix daily so I won't miss anything there. :p
Would you be interested in making a PR with the change yourself? I haven't maintained the list in months and it's severely outdated. I've quit lemmy/piefed and I don't have the energy to update/reorganise it. The bots automatically pick up the communities from this repo: https://github.com/fnic-lemmy/lemmy-directory
This is what I was referring to, your understanding is distorted because BOTH fall under the discoverability. You're bending the reality around you so that it fits your agenda ignoring literally anything that is said to you. The communities aren't forced upon you either as it's you choosing which feeds you follow the exact same way posts are added to a community you follow so they're not forced upon you buddy. Or what, should we get rid of communities as well? XDD Let's go back to microblogging where we can scream into the void that we can't navigate through due to almost nothing of organisation besides the tags maybe that can't even be moderated unlike communities/feeds. I guess we should get rid of the concept of tags too given your perspective on organisaton and discoverability of things you're interested in? Some of your points are valid but a lot of them are incoherent and ignore reality. Some of the suggestions are terrible for everyone out there too due to ignoring of that reality. I'd work great if the world worked the way you perceive it through your mind though.
I don't really want the gesture colors to reflect vote colors regardless of what I set it too. It's just that with vote colors you have an option to swap colors for them and I'm requesting the ability to swap colors of gesture colors for voting as well.
Your suggestion would be much more flexible/powerful and comfortable to use though as it's hard to get the wanted color correctly and repeat it as well. But what comes with it I assume there's more work for it?
I hope I'm clear now. :)
(Yesterday I converted someone into using this app and they love it a lot. Today I changed the text size for posts by accident when looking through the settings for something and it applied on the spot. I think it would be great to apply settings only when pressing "save settings" button or a way to revert settings to the previous ones you had maybe. The button sounds simpler. I was lucky to have a backup from sharing the settings with that person though.)
How'd you follow a feed to regularly visit if not without subscribing to it? The person you responded to complained that communities may get unwanted traffic if they were included in bad feeds. So while you suggested subscribers only comments and it would work for 'all' feed to filter out low effort trolls it wouldn't work with feeds where they are already subscribed to it.
Just like with communities where you don't look them up each time you want to see their content and you subscribe to them to have them easily accessible on you subscribed list or in subscribed feed the same would go for feeds.
I may have missed your subtle suggestion somewhere about changing the behavior of feeds in which case the feature would check out although that would cause some friction still when it comes to ease of interaction.
E:
I mean if you click on subscribe, to subscribe to all the communities within, that’s kind of intended behaviour?!
The conversation isn't about fair users anyway. If someone comes in without care about community talking bs then it wouldn't matter if you gave them option to avoid it because they would do it anyway. Just like people don't bother with block feature which there always was.
restrict commenting or voting to subscribers only.
Feeds subscribe you to those communities. Maybe if the feature didn't do that it would make more sense but with the current way things work it would require a different solution. Personally I strongly believe in granular control over to which feeds the community gets added with default opt-in where mods can react if something unwanted starts happening.
It's more about users not giving a damn which can already be seen with users using 'all' feed downvoting or responding with unfitting comments to things that they should have just ignored but didn't because it showed up to them.
If the user visits feed expecting specific content just like they'd expect from community and treat it as such there's a good chance they'd contribute but not in positive way.
The feature is in a testing phase to find bugs and collect ideas and will be improved with time so such problems would hopefully be minimised. In which direction will the feature progress is something I don't know and from my understanding the devs don't fully know either but they're definitely interested in allowing more control over things like community opting out (or in?) from a specific feeds as a second option besides opting out from the feature completely. In what form the mods will have the tools to control to which feeds their communities belong I don't know but there's a lot of interest in it.
