She’s not your buddy, pal

So instead of tweeting something do they now “X it out”?

I think there are a couple of reasons to not allow mods on one instance to moderate posts on another instance.

One example I can think of, if I wanted to grief a community I might go to another instance that doesn’t have that community, create it, making myself a mod in the process. Then I would request federation with the community I want to grief. Then I’d mod away all their posts, or do anything else I wanted. With some luck and okay timing I bet a person could do a lot of damage before federation was turned off. People in IRC chat rooms used to use a similar technique to steal OP from others in rooms. Making modding of federated content only effect the local instance would contain any of that damage. As a feature creep sort of feature, perhaps modding done on an instance could send a suggested mod response to the originating instance, and they could do what they wanted with the information.

Also, having it set up like I originally suggested could allow for other non standard federation arrangements. Like one instance that allows nsfw content in a community to be federated with one that auto blocks anything marked nsfw. Maybe even one way federation, where an instance shows posts from another in a community, but it isn’t reciprocated. I don’t think that would be usually the best idea, but it might work.

It would be neat if communities from different instances could federate with each other like the instances themselves do.

In my mind it would work like this:
If two communities have the same topic, and have compatible rules, then they could federate with each other. This would show the posts from both in a combined view in whichever instance you were logged in on.

For moderators there would be two types of posts.
Posts originating on their instance they would have full mod control over, and any actions taken on the posts would change the post for all other communities they are federated with.
Posts originating from federated communities I think mods should be able to hide in the local communities as well as a subset of other mod abilities, like sticky. However these would only affect the local copy, not the original or the other federated communities.

As far as I know neither Kbin nor Lemmy has anything like that, but I think it would be a great feature if either could make something like that work.

I tried ghee, it tasted awful. Butter flavored coconut oil is where it’s at.

The RIF subreddit has been marking each post with its stage of grief since this began. Most were at acceptance last I checked.

That one was so annoying because you had to be using the log server to have any issues. If your network was locked down, the log server was disabled, or if you happened to be using a version that was from before the log server was added, then there were no issues. But clients just heard “log4j” and thought it was unsafe.

Reddit Is Fun is one of the apps being killed off next week. Their subreddit was marking each post with which stage of grief it was. A lot of anger and Bargaining.

Fucking Joe Rogen man. I keep trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. He seems like the sort of person who believes what the last person told him until someone tells him the opposite. But now it seems like he’s becoming actually malicious.

For sure deserves to be.

After (maybe during?) the EA thing they added the ability to throttle downvotes so that can’t happen again. I’m surprised they didn’t just artificially set it to look like it was upvoted.

There are some fast food places that do that on the screens that replaced their “behind the counter” menu. Worse, sometimes they will switch between two menus and an ad. I need to look at what I’m ordering so I remember to order it right.

I bought a gas stove/oven a few months ago. Took me a couple of weeks to notice that I can connect it to my wifi for some reason. I haven’t, and don’t intend to, but I am a little curious what features could possibly be in there.

Amazon has a very generous free tier for outgoing email in SES, and it is pretty easy to set up.
