A lot of the time, I start work on a project just to get it out of my brain. My brain starts hyperfocusing on the next “cool idea” and it stops me sleeping and concentrating on other things. So what I do is I start a new project folder and write down my thoughts on the project until I run out of ideas. Then my brain is “satisfied” with “work” and promptly loses interest. I have learned to not feel guilt about these. It’s just a thing I need to do for my mental health, like I have to sometimes clear out my ear wax.

I’m pretty sure dms are not sent to all instances

That’s how most things work. Most effort is done by a few people

Fookin’ hell. Nightmare scenario.

Also things like trusted computing preventing things like banking apps from running on rooted OS

Not much I can do really here. If I can see later replies but not the edit, it must have been lost somewhere in the federation. Typically that means the source instance didn’t send it or gave up, but normally lemmy should continue retrying

Hah, lemmy.world would never choose to join the faf. In any case we only accept anarchist instances as we are supposed to share rules

That’s what the FAF is for. We have multiple instances with the same admins, rules, defederations etc to hedge against rogue sysadmins.

The FAF is a confederation of instances which ultimately act as one. /0 is one of them yes.

Until now our democracy seems to be working well.

It’s possible but will be very easy to manipulate by people making alts and sockpuppets. You’d need a way to verify individuals.

The Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla is already experimenting with this sort of radical democracy, through our regular governance threads and our radical admin recalls but we have to rely on paid supporters and individually vouched people to stave manipulation.

Anyway, people can already repurpose the threativore which is the bot that enables this voting to handle the extra stuff you suggest and give it a try.

Lol he really went ahead and silenced every instance to the left of kissinger didn’t he?

Ah that wasn’t there when I deployed it.

What do you mean? Where does it do it’s own detection?

Lol rimu blocked me because I was countering his bullshit a bit too much?

What is this shady shit?

motherfucker, if you try to play pretend as an investigative journalist, you’re supposed to ask for an official statement on your final text. In your case you had even had an earlier reply which partially addressed some of your points, didn’t ask for any clarifications and then anyway decided not to include even that reply because it conflicted with the narrative in your hit piece. This is so egregious it’s leaving me speechless!

I’m just speaking from experience. This is how things play out in these situations.

I.e. “I just saw a modlog entry, jumped to conclusions, didn’t ask for clarification, didn’t speak to anyone from that instance, jumped straight into making a drama post”

Open-and-shut-case in my book.

I appreciate your kind words
