“use” might be a stretch.

I have a mastodon account I check occasionally
I have a pixelfed account I use rarely
And a loops account I think I logged into once

You’re probably right.
But the service specifically says unlimited, and that it supports torrents.

I’ve started sitting to pee, when at home

I’m skeptical about this.

There are like 170M dudes
And say each pee is about 300ml
Then 1 in 50 dudes needs to have a full pee on the floor every day.

Ok maybe that’s a bit more believable

That’s just the price to get it.

The burn rate of storing it would be similarly astronomical, but reoccurring, cost.

And I can’t even imagine the cost of transporting it

I only see one title and one post body; what happens if 3 people share the same link but with 3 different titles and description bodies?

Do they get merged, does one get arbitrarily selected, or does this only work on posts with identical link+title+body?

But they were still users who were active in that half-year, so even when they went offline it shouldn’t have resulted in a dip

This graph doesn’t make sense to me. The drops on the two graphs shouldn’t line up, right? Make me sus

That’s a very reddit thing to say

You’d need to be able to submit the form for that to do anything lol

And human eyes are incredible at seeing things

Iirc banks already don’t typically have a lot of cash on hand, if you’re looking to get a bunch of cash you need to give them warning so they can bring it in special order.

But I admit I’m no expert so I may have been mislead

Beans? Look here youngin

Well put.

I guess I also don’t really know the average users behavior, or more specifically typical fedi behavior of users who would use a matchmaking service.

I’m just highly skeptical of compatibility quizzes, it feels like there must be a better solution.

That sounds like they’d ban content promoting the eating of the rich, too.

I’m all for banning fascist content, but I don’t wanna lose the French revolution vibes.

I actually think observing your actual behaviour would be a better more honest way of matching.
And technically it’s all public info so it’s not technically a privacy issue; they’d get it over activitypub the same as all fediverse platforms already do.

But it feels wrong to do.

What would the matching mechanism do? Look at your fediverse activity and match people who like the same things as you?

Could be interesting but creepy

But it also has to be defended separately by the admin of every server that has a user subbed to that community. Seems like a large burden to put on small-mid instance admins.

I’d be surprised if my server admin was really paying attention that closely to votes on communities I’m subbed to, right?
I have to admit I don’t know the view that admins get of how their server intersects the fediverse.

I’m not sure how giving every server access to the votes solves that.
The malicious server can make fake users to pump up votes. your server admin has to notice, then check the vote logs, then see what’s happening and defederate them. That’s pretty much what you described in your scenario, anyways.

What do you mean “send fake votes”?
Or rather, who do you think should be responsible for identifying and blocking fraudulent votes?

And how do you reconcile votes that come from servers that you’ve defederated with? Should everyone have the same view of the post, or should people only see votes from servers that their server is federated with? What about votes from users you’ve personally blocked? Etc

I personally kinda think that the responsibility is on the server hosting the post, and that everyone should see the same (but anonymous) vote count, of which the hosting server is the single source of truth.
