Well, you could play it out a bit from there.

If we tie it back to love of China and Uyghurs we could go with “If there’s a Uyghur genocide in China, then there’s also a Black genocide in America!”

Or maybe “How do you pose a country should respond to violent separatism and terrorist attacks?”

But then it all just pivots into Ukraine and Russia. First to accuse the other of serving Putin wins. (Or loses?)

Which then provokes a call to separate genocides into ones using bombs and bullets and ones that aren’t.

Which then circles on back to Palestine and Israel.

For true ouroubos debatelording.

So reporting 2 rule-breaking comments is spam?

I dunno. Usually depends on the reports and how deeply they participated into a 50+ comment chain of 'no u, sweetie’s for them.

What makes a report spam?

Typically when singular goes plural.

the vague reason “report spam”,

I mean, that’s a simple reason, not a vague one.

Were you on Hard Light Productions back in the day, by the way?

Hopefully, those ‘insulating layers’ will be an effective measure to how the code is approached vs the instance is handled.

Right, and so just to step past the obtuseness and sticking to a fact:

Rimu is the developer of Piefed.

If we’re at the point it is important to clarify “person v software”, the person developer can be associated with the developed software.

And if this is, in fact, a call to compartmentalize and separate devs from software, and furthermore from how they operate their instances… Yes, that would be a nice change for Lemmy and Piefed alike for discourse on this matter.

Will it happen? Well, developers and instance admins can continue crashing out, or… maybe stop.

I got interested and checked and it’s just one community on piefed social. My comments are viewable on my instance and the instance of the user I reply to, but only that comment and only in that one community. If I view my user comments from any other instance, piefed or lemmy, those comments do not exist.

So I can’t rule out that userblock scenario, but it is interesting that my comments effectively become a public facing DM.

I am fairly certain I’m ghosted from certain communities on piefed.social, but I don’t know how encompassing that is. So I don’t know if anyone on that instance can actually see what I write ever, or not, or if it’s just more targeted on a community/user blocklist level.

Made me laugh.

This question shows the inherent flaw with putting any value beyond the function of voting, which is just list ranking.

I’m not sure what you mean with “walls listening in” when we’re talking about a public forum, but the doors are perfectly openable.

What I mean is the code infrastructure of the public forum doesn’t need to do what the users operating the platform do. These sorts of flags and tags for judgements on commentary have a direct impact on interactions between users, which is the door part of analogy.

Yeah, but let’s take a step back for a moment here and look at how the Fediverse is run by people. These communities and instances are all equipped to take action, moderate, curate, and create.

The people on the Fediverse are well equipped to grapple with the Paradox of Intolerance in a public forum without the walls listening in and making decisions about doors.

The omissions in this timeline about brigading sockpuppets and falsified nazi smears…

But to list that timeline and act as though this is out of context or unrelated to an ongoing crashout… we are reaching some Hasan’s dog collar level of bullshit.

It’s just an armband. You know. To help with context.

I know at least some models can be rigged to local machines, and I assume chatgpt is one of them. But no disagreement that there’s a bit of weirdness here.

Their whole thing is that they’re running local models on their own systems, so it is unlikely to be corporate at all.

Now, there is a portion of lemmy instances and piefed that did incorporate, and they seem to have it out for db0.

Lemmy was made for people banned from Reddit.

Piefed was made for the mods who banned them.

And MBin? MBin is a fork of KBin.

unrelated

Well, it is noting that there’s now at least an appearance of a relationship going on. Especially so, if you’re already clued into the ‘ban-happy’ statistics magic thread.

Similarly this one has some good conversations going.

Hopefully those continue unimpeded and this can remain contextual or tangental.

That’s an odd takeaway, for sure.
