Also depending on what it is responding can just make you into a target for harassment when/if that person comes back on a different account. Best to just avoid it and not make yourself known to them.

If you have that happen to you I recommend reaching out via DM either to your instance’s admins or the admins of the server their community is on. Give them the context of the report and also explain how that mod reacted. If a mod acts like that they are very likely an abusive moderator, so make sure to let admins know about that.
I don’t and will not use blocking for users basically for that reason, it doesn’t actually solve anything it’s just pretending things are okay for you when they aren’t for everyone else. It’s probably the reason why reporting doesn’t happen as much as it should.
Even in harassment it is particularly useless because even though you stop seeing them and getting notifications they can continue replying in your threads, they can even use that to turn people against you. If it at least prevented posting and commenting on your profile I’d use it in those situations, but as it stands it doesn’t, so it’s useless to me, because if somebody is harassing me, the last thing I want to do is hide them while allowing them to keep harassing me, it gives them mote opportunities to cause trouble and removes my opportunity to report them for that trouble.
I don’t think that would really work since in order to make it anonymous it would need to be hidden from the other servers as well which would cause issues with moderation since if it’s never dealt with On the origin server a person could cause a lot of trouble with it, yeah you could have so that it would only be visible by moderators and admins but that also doesn’t really work if admins can view it since anyone can set up a server.
Yeah that would be very difficult to implement safely, and probably wouldn’t be worth the effort since the Federated model means that signing up for an account somewhere on the Fediverse is much easier already.
Anonymous posting might have been a necessary evil on the early internet before you had all these Federated servers, but nowadays having other servers fills the role of granting easier access since you can sign up to another one where that process may be easier.
Forgejo having Federation enabled would be great since it would allow people with Codeberg accounts to contribute in self-hosted repos without having to apply or beg for accounts on them just to submit issues and pulls.
Could always try reaching out to @nm@veganism.social as they’re the person credited as the creator on the bottom of the page.
I agree, peer tube’s biggest issues so far besides the storage or the fact that there are almost no peer tube servers which offer user accounts (which isn’t needed explicitly to watch videos but makes the experience much better), and also the fact that there aren’t really any good apps to use it with that aren’t outdated or abandoned.
It’s not really that fundamentally different from the idea of Lemmy, the interface is just different but the idea of having communities and posts in the communities is the same.
The thing that would be tricky and would probably have the most friction would be anonymous posting since that’s where things get really ugly regarding moderation and user conduct, since a good amount are just going to be spammers and many others will be trolls and malicious users.
I don’t think that really makes sense because revenge porn is technically porn and it’s not consensual.
So I would disagree calling something porn doesn’t imply consent, it merely describes sexually explicit material.
That’s it, right there. Artificial exclusivity, that’s what it always was anything else is an excuse to look or seem better or less scummy.
People are going to try to make up reasons, all of them are an excuse to cover up the real reason which is copying apple and forcing people into Bluetooth to sell more expensive tech junk to people. The original and really only reason.
People will deny this but this is the only real reason for doing that. The other reason is copying apple, which isn’t really another reason as apple removed it for the first reason. Fairphone just went the extra mile to claim that headphones are wasteful, in essence they’re making an excuse to cover up their reason why and also trying to force others to do it as well.
FYI Sublinks is a drop-in replacement for Lemmy, it’s fully compatible with the API and database structure, so it can simply be swapped out and aside from UI differences it’ll work Basically the same, it could even be used with the Lemmy-UI in which case there would basically be no difference in appearance and function.
Also due to the nature of Federated services as long as everything still speaks the same protocol it doesn’t matter that much the software each server uses. The community will still be accessible on those services.
I don’t really see the point since the federation is one-way (at least last time I heard), so you can’t reply to anything as it never gets sent back to threads. You’d be better off just following it as an RSS feed if you really want it (There are unofficial tools to do that for threads and it might be officially available in the future).
Neither did Mastodon.social or Mastodon.online, though honestly I’d recommend people steer clear of those instances when signing up for a different reason, they’re also very widely blocked or limited by a lot of servers due to issues with spam and moderation. Ironic that these instances are already too big to effectively moderate, yet threads is bigger and also way worse (see link in other comment about their moderation issues) and yet people still want to federate with them.
Mine also blocks it due to issues regarding poor moderation and hate speech.
First of all, no it doesn’t. The fediverse is about servers communicating with each other, that doesn’t mean all servers, it just means that multiple servers communicate, and if a server is being problematic it will be blocked or limited, as another example a good amount of servers limit or block Mastodon.social and due to spam issues. Threads in this regard is no different, it just so happens to be a much bigger problem than Mastodon.social hence why there is much stronger efforts to defederate it.
especially when users can already block content from domains they dislike.
No, you are deliberately or unintentionally misrepresenting how domain blocks and indeed blocking in general works in Lemmy (Domain blocks target communities and do not hide users or their content), and even with Mastodon this doesn’t solve the biggest problems with threads, that being the extremely poor moderation and the EEE threat which are server wide problems and not user preference issues.
That is not really true and anyone who actually believes that is in for a rude awakening.
See I think that you’re a bit confused because when they say that or things similar to that what they really mean is that no one person controls the fediverse. Not that there are no laws or rules because they’re absolutely are.
For example if you go around spouting bigotry you will find yourself banned from a majority of public federated servers, and if you are on a server that you are not the owner of you will likely find yourself banned from that one. The fact that it’s decentralized does not mean that it doesn’t have rules or is some kind of free speech safe haven.
Good riddance, one less pedophile instance to worry about.
