But I'd rather have the cleaner domain than the one with the cheat.

I do agree though that .news is not ideal. @UlrikHD@programming.dev, can you change the option for jogabonito.news to jogabonito.community ?

Not necessarily "Lemmy matures". It could also be:

• ActivityPub software starts supporting DID to allow migration of identities.
• ACtivityPub adopts some ideas from nostr and turns the server into a simple message relay.

Which then could let the lemm.ee admins to bring back the server - or offer a way for users to checkout their actor keys, etc, etc...

Hosting a static website is virtually free. All that static JSON is going to amount to a few gigabytes of data, you can compress to save up to an order of magnitude. I can bet you that I can store all of lemm.ee's data (and media!) on Storj for less than $20/month.

Do we expect every single user to assess all of the toxic communities

No, I want users to have access to a list of pre-curated communities and let them customize it to their liking, like what Fediverser does.

In the same way that defederation is an admin-level decision impacting all of the userbase

Defederation is a bad way to manage conflict. It is a nuclear option that should be taken only when the offending instance (as a whole) is malicious. To stretch this "my server, my rules" philosophy further is bad design.

Good admins are like good janitors. They are not there to enforce behavior top-down.

Ok, I just found jogabonito.community for $35/year. I can transfer it to you at cost if you want. Let's add to the list of choices.

https://communick.com/services/lemmy

I forgot that you are selective with your tolerance with hyperbole.

I mean features about customizing behavior ("Trump Musk filter", "Vote weighting") and the things where the data is publicly available but hidden only for admins, like "Attitude and Reputation scoring".

You cheated by adding that o in the beginning. ;)

Let's make a deal. Put it for the vote. If it wins, I will host it for free. If it doesn't, you need to sign up for a paying plan on Communick.

It seems like every single one of those features are just settings that could (and should) be implemented client-side, and left up to the user who wants to have control over their experience.

I’m sure that we would find a viable solution if Ruud ever wanted to leave things behind. Not all solutions require paying someone a salary for it, which seems to be your implication here.

Beyond "raise enough resources to pay a professional", can you think of any solution that is not a variation of "keep finding fresh volunteers to work until they burn out"?

Vocata is great as a concept, but not practical at all. Even the developer of the project agrees. If you know your way around Python and/or Javascript, you might be interested be interested in my ActivityPub Toolkit project, though.

As instances are currently structured, they are tied to web domain, and actually owned by somebody somewhere. That somebody has a level of commitment having setup hosting and configured the server itself, and likely to want to not lose their toys

In this system, the people that simply want to access the web MUST trust the server owner and the people that want to have full control over their identity MUST setup their own server.

This is complex, fragile, expensive and a huge barrier of entry. Just this week the admins of the second largest lemmy instance are closing down their server and 5000 people are left with no choice but to move on from their identity and find a new home.

Email doesn't have that. The WWW doesn't have that. Phone networks doesn't have that. Bluesky doesn't have that.

Buy the domain you want, I will host it for you. :)

If this is your choice, you need to upvote the original comment, not add your own. ;)

When there was the first talk about moving away from LW and I first proposed soccer.forum, there was a whole lot of bikeshedding around the name of the community. So, last year I got a domain that could work for both the American and European crowds, and if there is interest about moving to a topic-specific instance while opposing the soccer.forum domain, I can quickly set up the new instance.

I just checked one post from lemm.ee that was migrated to piefed. You are keeping two different objects with the same id, but altering the content to change the audience. I'd have to agree with @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al, that would definitely qualify as falsification.

What about "as:audience" attributes from the original "Create(Page)" activities? Does this mean that you are completely rewriting history?

Yeah, but there are several other communities talking about moving to piefed.

The communities were created, it doesn't mean that they have people using them. I'm just hoping now that the people will be forced to move out of lemm.ee that maybe this change can be done to these topic-specific instances.

I will repeat my comment from yesterday.

the following communities have already an alternative on instances that I run

• !artporn@lemm.ee -> !artporn@sfw.community
• !football@lemm.ee -> !football@soccer.forum
• !keitrucks@lemm.ee -> !keitrucks@gearhead.town
• !monitors@lemm.ee -> !monitors@hardware.watch

All these instances have been running for close to two years and are part of the “topic-specific” network of servers that I set up to help during the migration.
