Never thought of this labour issue as affecting indigenous people.

I don’t ever remember using any of these so called voice assistants. Ever.

This is consistent with my experiences too. I have always admired publications which translate the abstract as it gives a peak into a whole world out there. Perhaps this is one other area future decentralized publishing should look into.

Some people try that kind of thing and use Twitter to develop their ideas. See NN Taleb and his clique. But I hear you – there is a lot to be gained from software development practices.

Interesting perspective. I wonder how many Brazilian scholars cross over into Anglophone journals in their pursuit of publication credits. Because as it stands, I am not sure I have seen any academic I know of who writes in English partnering with a Portuguese author to write in Portuguese journals. I am clueless about Brazilian academic landscape and would be happy to know how language shapes open/closed publications.

Which is weird that the more open you get with knowledge, the more you are victimized.

I don’t know what you mean? If I am the admin of an instance or the moderator of a group, I could delete comments or is this just not possible? Some of the darkest side of the internet can rear its head and the gap between their posting and your deletion can be catastrophic.

Why doing this? Wouldn’t it be enough to block the illegal instances and those who are explicitly against your topics? You depend on the effectivness of admin rules of those other instances. Using an allow list or a block list has significant implication on spam.

please go ahead and test it, happy to help with testing if you ping me. It is a great idea which I also contemplated quite a lot.

If that would be possible, how would you moderate comments, seeing how random things can get? Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)? What if you keep your blog, then push every post you make there to your solo-community on a finstance? You can engineer your comment section on the blog to pint here or fetch the comments content from fediverse to your blog…

I read my feeds on Firefox using tt-rss’s webapp. I self host a tt-rss[1] instance so I can archive the stuff I care about.

Do you have interesting agents?

Your home instance (feddit.de, if I am not wrong) should add a mastodon instance to federating list before this can happen. This is your current list - https://feddit.de/instances

I wonder if there are any in-person communities that support an instance, and how that fares, compared to loose online connection that is here today, gone tomorrow.

While I am happy about all the publicity federation is getting, it seems this is also the time to reduce over-reliance on one instance (mastodon.social, for example) as it will bring a hangover of the bird-site. Technical federation is one step. Social communities to nurture these instances is a more tasking ask, but far more stronger in fighting against monopoly.

This is such uncharted territory for US media houses. They see the vulnerability of billionaires taking over a key communication platform yet these media folk cannot find the courage to name it: capitalism, centralization, and censorship. Why, that is who they are.

You challenge centralization, they think you are challenging America.

If you excuse the “medium”, this article has interesting milestones: https://medium.com/the-ferenstein-wire/the-birth-and-death-of-privacy-3-000-years-of-history-in-50-images-614c26059e

I am not a designer and I don’t know what it would take to build such a theme. But if there is a designer amongst us who can dedicate time to such a task, all happy to support. @nivenkos@lemmy.ml This might be a better place to start - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui Found soapbox while roaming around but not sure how it can integrate - https://soapbox.pub/

Various countries have tried to implement this – or hint at introducing it, for example Canada and UK recently – but there has always been friction in the whole process. It seems to me that proliferation of digital legal ID, especially during the pandemic, has oiled the processed and such a proposal will be easier to implement. Perhaps not even in the way it is described here (akin to checkpoint analogy) but rather as a whole system process (proof once and we will decide what you access, perhaps at the device set up point, using biometric ID linked to government issued legal ID). In the end, therefore, the adult content (in this case), will be filtered even before you get there if you are a minor. An anchoring background process, not necessarily a checkpoint.

Excellent work @dessalines@lemmy.ml & @nutomic@lemmy.ml and everyone else adding to the progress.

A good time for everyone else to spread word and donate for long term stability.

All media is subjective. Do not go hunting for a perfect house. Eat that poison carefully, as there will always be something you can make from it.

Adding blockchain as we currently know it into fediverse is a false start, IMHO.
