nxlemmy

For example, if im on an instance that only federates with instances in an allowlist can someone create an instance of bots to downvote things in the lemmy.ml instance and affect the score of the lemmy.ml posts that users on my instance can see?

I’m interested in learning how lemmy prevents vote brigading from instances that might be made with malicious intent

This is a good short video on The Council for National Policy which is a group who’s membership is supposed to be kept secret but had its membership list publicized by Documented https://documented.net/investigations/documented-has-obtained-a-recent-council-for-national-policy-membership-list

Its a group of conservatives that push policy and organize conservatives in power to stay on message to help them grow Christian Nationalism in the US.

Banchan is an online co-op that makes it easy to accept commissions for art. They have a focus on making it simple and safe with the bonus of acting as an escrow which allows you protect your identity which is a great feature for trans artists not wanting to share their bank info attached to their deadname.

This is a pretty good complement to using https://comradery.co for recurring payments. These platforms and the fediverse becoming more and more used really gives me hope for worker owned online and offline spaces.

I think it would be great to be able to click a button on a comment\post and have it translate to your language. I think its possible to build a way to include this in a privacy respecting way (im not a coder so forgive my ignorance) if we use something like the google translate scraper that is used for this privacy respecting google translate frontend https://github.com/thedaviddelta/lingva-translate

Making it easier for people to communicate across languages would be pretty sweet for the fediverse.

browsing through All has so much pro-fascist posts coming from lemmygrad that it drowns out all the other instances. I'm surprised they're even federated by default but we should have an option to block instances from All if lemmy is deadset on federating with them just because they are fascists with a red and yellow flag...

(before the Tankies start posting about how they aren't pro-fascism "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy" which all describe the Z movement in Russia they gleefully support in multiple posts)

This is a pretty convenient way to check how snoopy the different in-app browser are. Seems like Facebook and TikTok are pretty damn invasive. I hope this makes Apple enforce privacy in the in-app browsers somehow since I'm guessing Facebook and TikTok will just update their code so this can't be checked anymore instead of ensuring their users privacy\security.

Whenever I want to find useful information on something i search the thing and add "reddit" to the end of my search. I would love to be able to do that with lemmy but currently it seems like nothing on lemmy gets picked up by google.

Nutshell is a really useful way to embed information from other websites in a convenient way. It works sorta like those hover boxes on wikipedia allowing you to learn more about a related subject without leaving the current thing you're reading.

For those of you who don't know, Nicky Case releases really interesting interactive things that are Open Source and CC0. A project you've likely seen in the past was this project called :the game: that was extremely popular on Newgrounds back in the day.

or this game called We Become What We Behold

heres a link to their projects https://ncase.me/ they're all really thought provoking and made to help you learn about things in an interactive and entertaining way.

They also write really well thought out blog posts, here's my favorite post they made that's called Evolution not Revolution and talks about how so many uprising and revolutions that were "successful" led to the current authoritarians being replaced with another set of authoritarians with no progress for the people actually being made.

Stackoverflow is one of the most useful websites online imo and I think it would be great to be able to mark comments as the one that solved your issue and also have the ability to "follow" a post and/or comment thread so you get notifications on updates to a post or comment you didn't post.

What do y'all think of this? Seems pretty terrible on its face

They apparently announced they would delete all posts related to homosexuality back in 2018 but backtracked after outrage but I guess they've felt its been enough time that people won't be paying as much attention now =\

It's very difficult to want to keep coming back to lemmy with so many communities I'm not interested being on my homepage. I want to be able to discover new communities and posts but have the ability to block certain communities I never want to see
