  • I’ve been thinking about this for a bit, if all traffic is end-to-end encrypted, the server connecting two endpoints doesn’t have access to the data, so as far as I can see there’s no reason that this couldn’t be implemented using federated services.

    I would be surprised if such a service doesn’t already exist, just waiting for widespread user adoption, which undoubtedly relies on mobile phone apps to pass a minimum threshold of viability, something which both Lemmy and Mastodon both struggle with.

    The people here today are really part of the early adopters, once you start seeing mainstream media talk about the fediverse, you can expect traction.







  • So … you are basing you hypothesis on an article about Pedophile hunters written in German (or Swiss if you want to get frisky) that you linked using an English headline and summary in a software development community?

    I’m surprised that your post wasn’t removed.

    I’m mentioning this because it hardly seems like a genuine attempt to learn anything and any assertions you make about voting behaviour has to be suspect at best, not to mention that it’s based on a single example, hardly ever the hallmark of solid statistical analysis.

    Let’s move on to the attempted “fix”.

    You’re attempting to achieve what exactly?

    A relationship between votes and comments?

    How do you know how the users decide what to read, vote or comment on? You see a relationship with ordering by votes, I read whatever comes past on my “All feed” and vote when I think the pod warrants it. The two are not the same.

    In other words, your proposal seems based on a very poor foundation and I’m voting accordingly.

    Not to rain on the parade, but in my experience, having had to email customers in bulk … sending tickets and logistics requirements for large events … I can tell you that self hosting this is a complete and utter waste of time.

    You’ll get blocked before the first batch of emails leave your mailer.

    Not even paid MailChimp or Campaign Monitor could guarantee delivery.

    The problem is not the platform for sending email, it’s the centralised nature of email hosting, much of it is behind Google and Microsoft hosted services.
