Did it do something?

Not saying you are wrong, since it is currently imposible to do here, but I don’t think the federated nature of usernames has anything yo do with if they receive a notification or bot since over at mastodon you can tag people properly and they are notified.

I might be misunderstanding something, but you are talking about a tag (same as a private note over mastodon or a profile note in discord)

At least it looks that way because of this

Add the ability to tag users, so a title i give him will be next to his name.

What this user is asking is if you can write someone’s name on a post and for that petson to receive a notification that they have been mentioned.

Jajaja I thought about that while typing it out but I still dont believe this is about EEE, Meta hasnt operated with that mindset yet in other spaces from what I know and I feel this is more that a kneejerk reaction of people not liking big corporations associating it with the idea that big corps want to kill the freedom that these spaces bring to online communities.

But I believe in the design of the fediverse and the resilience of the people, I dont think that a few platforms hoarding the big majority threaten the entirety of the fediverse, as long as people can self host their own instances since we can ensure there will always be spaces for communities like this, even in worse case scenarios like Meta just having so many features that other platforms cant compete in those terms I still feel a niche of the same people that are building this today are going to stick with it, and thus we can keep this going even if we are forced to defederate at a later date or they defederate us.

Embrace, extend and extinguish.

It was a more common tactic back in the day for tech giants to destroy competition omfor open software specifically.

I am personally guessing it’s this option, people keep saying the idea is to EEE but I don’t think this would be the most effective use of Meta resources since they should be focusing yheir efforts at beating twitter.

This wasn’t working, but then I realized you come from Kbin, I logged into Kbin and turns up you guys have this feature! It’s not on lemmy yet.

Kbin looks so appealing, but there isn’t an android app at the moment (right?) and I’m kind of growing attached to lemmy, but I probably will try to use Kbin more once I get an app for it.

I’m personally deeply skeptical, even if it’s from one of the most secure companies I would have a heart attack if I hear it’s hacked.

I personally just use pen and paper, two copies, and try to do variations or new passwords for things I care about and then one common password for useless things with no credit card info.

Have you considered making an account there (or on a non blocked lemmy instance), especially with how most apps I’ve used allow for multiple accounts and changing with two taps I don’t think there is much reason not tp make an account in the meantime.

Agree with the sentiment, I don’t need it nor is it my thing, I prefer to be the one that has to do the blocking rather than mods, but I can see why it’s there.

I hate when people try to do safe spaces and some outsider looks at it and starts staying it’s authoritarian, an echo chamber, propaganda, power hungry admins, etc. Like, dude if there is a group of people that want to be protected from certain rethoric, it’s pathetic to act with indignation just because the don’t want everyone to interact. Not every community is about fitting everyone and being neutral, as long as they are transparent with it let them have their place in peace.

Stability would be fixed if people realized they don’t have to all join the biggest two communities, which is part of the education problem we have right now for completely new users.

Although servers have really been scaling nicely regardless of those days right after the privating and then July 1st

For anyone interested, they explained the reasoning behind this particular defederation here:

https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/on-defederation/

At the end of the day beehaw wants to be tightly moderated and it’s kind of imposible to properly moderate huge amounts of users at the moment with their tools so they decided to ban big instances that don’t require any verification to join

Wait you could log in to a lemmy instance from a mastodon client? Or did you talke that picture from a Mastodon account?

Having said that this is the closest thing I’ve seen to what I want, only problem being that I would need to use a Mastodon UI which doesnt have downvotes.

Also unrelated, but this is the first time I encounter an image on the comments.

Problem is I haven’t coded a single thing in my life, while I could technically made something I much prefer using something already made by someone who knows what he is doing

I will try to seaech what you say to see if I can do something quickly, but I will probably surrender if it’s not just replicating an online tutorial.

Nope, sorry. I’m not talking about private message (dm’s if you will) but instead about notes.

Notes is a little thing you write under someone’s profile so that you, privately, xan remember said person.

Tongive you an example, let’s say we interacted in a post about international politics and you mentioned you are from Zimbabwe. I could add a note to your profile saying something like “from Zimbabwe”, you could not see this note as it would be for myself to cechk if I ever interact with you again.

Many other social media has this features, in discord I use it to check when people change usernames, in mastodon just to remember people, heck even in league og legends ypu can add notes to profiles in game which I use to remember friends of friends when I play with one.

I don’t know why wouldn’t they be private, in mastodon only you can see the notes. It could be made so that they are stored locally or by instances but encrypted

But I agree a plugin would be ideal, but as I have 0 programming knowledge I’m asking in case one exists.

You realize the downvotes came from your comments and not the post itself right?

You made the shittiest attack helicopter joke I’ve seen in a while

Also it literally goes against this community rules and the instance as a whole, wonder why you are still allowed to post.

Go join truth social or some other alt right fork instead of waisting everyone’s time

This comment reeks of bad faith.

So you don’t care of what pronouns they choose? You literally don’t know them irl, you would have 0 information of what their gender is to call them anything but “they” if they don’t put their pronouns. Assuming everyone is a man is unhelpful nowadays.

Even if you were a right winger immersed so far in the culture war you are unable to recognize the idea of gender as separate from sex and thus denying people determining their own pronouns, you still wouldn’t know what someone is. But if that is frankly your position it would be better you stay away from that place since you would be exactly the kind of people they have to moderate so heavily against

While I do find it funny to have pronouns in a semi-anonymous community, the reason has to do with the community they want to build, especially it being on the progressive side of culture, here is an expert from their mission statement:

As a news aggregator and a social media outlet, with a focus on being a safe and accepting space, we strive to create a positive social impact. We will also help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.

Aside from that I feel it’s common modern internet etiquette to have your pronouns available, and while I do find it funny to have when you are technically anonymous it probably makes communication easier and helps erase the internet bias of thinking every single persin you meet is a man.

Edit: now this was an unexpected turn of events, I didn’t expect OP to be this much of an imbecile.

Can you block your users from following instances? This looks like a serious problem if it were not possible to regulate.
