Fediverser - project moving from social media to federated services
Fediverser - project moving from social media to federated services
Looks like it's still in the planning stages. But looks like a cool project.
Hey, this looks familiar. :)
The best way that anyone here can help:
-
if you are an instance admin, to install it and connect with your instance.
-
if you still have an account on Reddit, to sign up to either https://portal.alien.top or https://fediverser.network, find all the subreddits you are interested in and apply for the "community ambassador".
-
So it is a way for Lemmy instances to let people log in with their Reddit accounts? Neat
That, and to let people get auto subscribed to all the communities that are corresponding to the redditor subscribed subreddits. It solves the onboarding problem completely.
Allowing users to signup using their existing Reddit credentials
I think this project has won the internet. The bullshit meter is through the roof, because no idea, no matter how ridiculous, could ever be dumber than this.
To be fair, there was one project dumber than this in the past. It has built it's entire business model around the twitter API.
Once again, @catloaf@lemm.ee is to be found on the list of downvoters. So, it's not just what I say or do, even when someone else talks about my project, they are there.
Seriously, what is the problem you have with me?
I am not catloaf but I have a problem with people literally combing vote logs to call users out in comments. That's toxic verging on obsessive.
Absolutely not the way to act as the face of a project. It accomplishes nothing besides making you look incredibly petty and dissuades people from supporting your work.
I have no idea who you are, so any slight against your person is purely your imagination.
I was curious, though, so I scrolled a bit on your profile. Out of over four hundred posts you've made, I saw I had downvoted three. The only comment of yours that I saw that I voted on, I upvoted.
I think the other comment about obsessiveness may be right.
Edit: and to be clear, I downvoted your comment here because it is off-topic in this post.
Thanks for bringing their instance to my attention. Their behavior is NOT ok, makes me want nothing to do with their project, and I have defederated their instance over it.
I downvoted your comment here because it is off-topic in this post
You are replying to the creator of the project this post is about. Can't get much more on-topic than that.Edit: I didn't realize that they posted two top-level comments. Yeah, I definitely agree that the comment you replied to is off-topic.
At the moment of you writing this comment, the person in question had downvoted 3 of your comments and 4 of your posts over a span of months. Seems far from a pattern, but the following up and singling out of a particular user doesn't look good. I'd suggest not focusing on who likes or doesn't your content since the optics of an admin asking users the reasons for their votes is a very bad one.
That is far far from my "focus". I don't mind criticism. I don't even mind people who openly state reasons to not like me or what I am doing. My problem is what others described: downvoting without actionable feedback.
I am more used to the Hacker News style of moderation, where the mods are used to take a first course of action to (politely) point out what was "wrong" with someone's action and ask them to stop their behavior. Only unabashed repeat offenders get banned. My "calling out" was an attempt to do that, after a private message went unanswered.
