I think this could be very valuable for the community and the Lemmy devs. However, I believe to be successful, there needs to be a volunteer(s) who “sync” the community to the GitHub issues. We could automate this but that would make the situation worse. Here’s how I could imagine this working:
When a new feature or bug is posted, the mod determines if this is duplicated or not. If so, they will reply to the post with a link to the previous post and lock the current one. If it is truly new, the community can vote and comment. After a week or so, if the community supports the new feature or fixing the bug, the mod will open a new GitHub issue with a summary of the community discussion and link to the discussion.
This is a lot of work for the mods, but I believe it would really add value for both the Lemmy community and the devs.
No worries, I’m sure Norton Utilities will fix it.
Apps like Signal and iMessage allow any emoji. I don’t have a strong opinion about a limited set vs any defined in Unicode.
I’m not sure this is possible since reactions tend to be in the context of the comment. For example, if a comment is expressing anger at an injustice, an angry emoji would probably be interpreted as “I am also angry” at the injustice and not disagreement or anger about the comment. If someone is expressing a personal loss, a sad emoji would me likely mean sympathy.
I had never thought about having wireless satellites on a Bluetooth speaker. Everything sounds amazing except for the price!

Plus an appointment is not required for those that have an iPhone with LiDAR which is probably nearly everyone who is considering purchasing this.
I was thinking the same thing, however, I don’t know how to solve the bot issue. The value of StackOverflow is the upvoting of best answers but that becomes difficult to achieve without a solid user reputation system. However, as we saw with Reddit, this tends to reward “group think” and punishes divergent opinions.
SDF upgraded to 0.18.1-rc.4 recently. There might be some issues with the latest upgrade.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED that killing the API would lead to web scraping! That was a completely unpredictable outcome.
I also recently became an ARPA member and it took about a week to process. However, I also became an SDF Saint and didn’t receive my blue check mark instantly!
Yes, with a major caveat. An instance will search only communities that at least one user on the instance is subscribed to and only as far back as the time the first user on the instance subscribed to the community.
I’ve always been confused why Google keeps Waze and Maps completely separate. Google Maps interface with Waze crowd sourcing would be killer.
I haven’t used either tool but some metadata isn’t privacy related. Properties such as video size, video codec, audio codec, etc are important for playback.
If an instance has an onion address, the text will come through Tor; however, pictures from other instances will still go through exit nodes since only the instance that hosts a community serves the media. My understanding is that Kbin federates everything but I haven’t used it and am unsure how it interacts with a Lemmy for media.
I used to love Etsy for true, handmade items. Now I have to wade through a sea of drop shipped AliExpress crap.
We’re all figuring this out as we go! Since the great Reddit migration, we’ve already seen our first big drama with the Beehaw defederation. Some Beehaw users disagreed and left for other instances while users of other instances liked the move and joined Beehaw. The Lemmy fediverse is what WE make it for better or for worse.
That was an incredibly comprehensive, well articulated, and dare I say, exhaustive essay on some important issues you raised. On top of that, creating sample documents is next level.
I don’t think the word “privacy” is a good word for the concept. I believe “user data control” or “right to be forgotten” is more appropriate for the “deletion issue”. However, there are few privacy issues such as instance admins having access to private messages and the potential for a hack to expose users e-mail addresses and usernames.
I believe you are 100% correct that we need to do a much better at communicating exactly who has access to their data and what (if any) control they have over that data once it is federated. I don’t believe we will ever have an guaranteed federated delete, and we need to make that crystal clear so users can proceed accordingly.
Running a self-hosted service is one thing, but running a public service raises a myriad of legal issues. In the US, children under 13 must not be allowed to have accounts (COPPA). CSAM (child pornography) is another problem that can expose admins to serious repercussions. In the US, it is not enough to delete it, it must be reported to the NCMEC. Federation will make this especially treacherous. Other issues such as criminal investigations, subpoenas, and possibly even national security letters are not a matter of “if” but “when” they will occur.
If Lemmy continues to grow, instance admins will need to be prepared for these issues. I would suggest that the public instance admins reach out to an organization like the EFF who has experience dealing with these issues. If not, I’m afraid a high profile incident may be all it takes to kill it.
For CSAM in the US, you have to have actual knowledge to be responsible for reporting. If you view the image or it is reported, you must act. Its pretty much the same for DMCA.
