If you’re wondering why I’m crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

    I just crosspost the post from 1 .ml comm to 1 relevant non-.ml comm maintaining the crosspost as best I can so that it collapses (for people with supporting clients at least)

    Not really fitting the common definition of “spam”, Users like Chobeat are probably closer to an actual spammer since when they post to the technology -.ml comm I can’t crosspost it anywhere because they literally sent it to just about every “technology” comm on the Threadiverse LMAO

    but even then I wouldnt consider it actual spam

    I’m also not evading bans, my accounts are not banned anywhere to the best of my knowledge (well except for .ml, but that’s a given lol) and I just rotate through them over and over again. I haven’t made a new one in a long time.

    In fact, I’ve recently added a listing of accounts used for this crossposting purpose to the bottom of my megathread here if you wish to block them and I’m updating the bios on each account as I use them to include a similar blurb for people

    Yes, okay, so why include a social credit score in PieFed? One of the main things communist China is critized for. It seems to me like one of the main reasons lemmy was created was to get away from the social credit score/karma idealogy, so why include it in PieFed?

    Can you seriously not see the difference between a government implementation of it on its citizens, tied to their real world semi-permanent identities and has the power to arrest, jail or otherwise “make silent” based on said scores…and a social media app tied to pseudo-anonymous user handles as a tool to ease the already thankless burden of volunteer moderation with 0 real-world consequence should you run afoul of it? Or are you just trolling?

    Probably trolling considering you’re from the exploding heads-light instance lmao

    Are you aware there are shit ton of metric ranking systems out there in the world? Are they all social credit scores? Man hope you don’t find out about how internet routing protocols like BGP decides on routes LMAO

    You still can’t talk about the Hannibal Directive to me, huh? Another critique of mine about PieFed. Seems to be an Israel supremacist instance, where you can’t even discuss Israelis own Reichstag fire event that got Jews to support a genocide against a semite population.

    Irrelevant to the conversation at hand, we’re talking about the server software at hand, not the namesake instance itself

    I’m not sure catering to the opinions of random redditors is a useful approach, but that aside.

    It was but a mere example

    The Lemmy network and the Threadiverse at large being associated as just a Tankie hangout

    Which would be solved by creating an instance (or building up an existing instance) that isn’t the triad.

    In this case Rimu (PieFed dev) and others were quick to jump in and steer, so hopefully this whole boycotting/cross-posting campaign at the very least gives them more fuel when these comments come up on the outside something like “Tankies are there, but they don’t have any important comms so you can just block those 3 instances or join [x] instance which blocks them for you”

    Which would also be solved with the same solution.

    It could help, but it’s not a problem that any one solution is the solution. There’s going to be some combination of solutions to actually solve it.

    1 sounds like artificially inflating the numbers

    Not really, I might have a lot of accounts, but it’s still only 1 per instance so it’s not really inflating the numbers. Besides most go by monthly active users for gauging the Threadiverse health which because of my pattern I might not even make up 1 MAU lol

    2 isn’t that useful IMO because without the actual content / ongoing engagement you just end up with multiple ghost communities.

    I don’t just make them, I do my best to actively contribute to them, like I said I also post “organically sourced” content and not just crossposts for this very reason

    3 i think the imposter problem is a user education error and/or could be better solved in a different manner.

    Um I’m not sure how that would be a user education error? I’m talking about someone maliciously making an imposter account and posting heinous crap “in their name” But there is currently no technical solution on the Threadiverse afaik for it

    4 this is what cross-posting is for right (though I’ll admit that experience is lacklustre right now)? You don’t need a whole account to cross-post between communities.

    Nah crossposts are a solution for a different problem, 4 is for when an instance hasn’t federated with another instances remote comm yet and is therefore unknown to the instance

    For example, I made this post to my comm at [email protected] today from this toast.ooo instance I’m on rn

    But toast.ooo never federated with that comm so as far as this instance knew [email protected] didn’t exist until I manually went to the comm by URL (toast.ooo/c/[email protected]) and subbed to it

    Until then nobody on this instance would have been seeing posts from that comm in their c/all/new/whatever feed, even if a post went “viral”. But now they will and for every other comm I sub to as I go

    And that process happens a lot on these smaller instances I’m on, some will be missing even major comms like [email protected] or [email protected]

    That’s what I mean by helping interconnect smaller instances
