Not everything federates. Not everything needs to. For example, if you ban a user from a local community, that action is handled locally.

I think. I’m not completely clear on which data is stored on your instance and which is on the remote instance.

Yup, it’s fucked.

They could. But you can’t just ignore it, else they would see it missing when they refresh. You’d have to keep track of which things to actually count, and which to hide. It’s complicated, and Lemmy isn’t big enough to need it yet.

That’s just a regular ban. If you were shadowbanned, you would be able to vote but it wouldn’t do anything. As far as I know, Lemmy doesn’t have shadowbanning.

Same. I’ve only ever made one post, and it wasn’t to lemmy.ml, nor have I made a significant number of comments, yet I was banned first from the instance, then from the communities, for allegedly spamming. I asked in the Matrix chat linked in their sidebar, and they suggested I message dessalines, so I did. He rejected the message request.

If this is their ideal of Lemmy, then Lemmy is dead on arrival.

No. Unlike reddit, when you send a report, it shows who reported it.

This has the advantage of the mod being able to respond to the reporter to ask clarification or provide explanation, but it also allows malicious mod action.

I suppose you could create another account if you need to report something without using this name.

Combine the big letter and the word. No need for it twice.

I would also include directions on how exactly to message an admin on Matrix, like where you find their username(s).

I’m not sure I’d call it selfish. There are users with particularly distasteful opinions that I prefer to downvote when I see them expressed. If I blocked them, then I wouldn’t be able to help shape the community in a positive manner.

Read the rules for a community and report accordingly. People like to complain when stuff stays up, but nobody has bothered to report it…

The first server should be the one it was posted to. Then federate the embed just like the post itself.

If a server is malicious, it doesn’t matter if that malice is transmitted in the post or in the embed, it should be defederated just the same.

So the preview should be federated as well?

How many requests are we actually talking about here, though? Is that better or worse than everyone clicking the link?

If it’s reproducible, you should file a bug report with Lemmy itself.

Can you give examples of what you’re referring to as propaganda? I haven’t seen anything but people bitching about Threads.

Because they use that information to draw a psychological profile of people, and they use that to subtly push their agenda with content they show.

Allegedly, anyway.

For a more concrete example, though not quite like this, look at Tencent-funded western movies. They’ve all got a Chinese side character who’s always shown in a positive light.

The standard web frontend does this. If your app doesn’t, then make a feature request or do it yourself and send a pull request.

You are trying to enforce rationality on inherently irrational humans. It’s not going to work.

Perhaps it’s because they think there are too many of them in the all feed?

This is a guess, I don’t use the all feeds so I haven’t seen any of them.
