  • It's been fun, but I don't have another migration left in me.

  • The short version - 10 people (0.02% of us) were casting 60% of all votes. I stopped it.

  • Improvement for the vote quota implementation

    Jump

  • This change affects Snoopy in a good way - his votes are no longer being drowned in a flood of indiscriminate votes that water down the effect of votes from more selective people like him.

  • Is there a way to block or disable the "related communities" part of the page?

    Jump

  • I've added an ID onto that html element so ublock can target it better. Or if you go into your profile and in the Additional CSS field put this:

    #related_communities { display: none; }

    That will do it.

    It might take a couple of days for feddit.online to update their code.

  • Improvement for the vote quota implementation

    Jump

  • "The fediverse is good therefore everything in the fediverse is good therefore everything must be upvoted" seems to be their reasoning.

    Naah, that ain't it.

    Upvote my posts/comments if you want other people to also see the post, not because you want me to feel warm and fuzzy. If you want me to feel warm and fuzzy, comment with "Great post, thanks!" or "You are a fuckin genius rimu, always such insightful comments!".

    Voting controls who sees what content, it's not kudos for content authors. If it was about the kudos we'd be designing the UX totally differently. Notifications when you get lots of upvotes on something, daily summaries of which if your comments got upvoted the most, who upvoted you the most, leaderboards of who got upvoted the most, etc etc. All of which sounds very toxic...

  • 4 dashes ----

    5 ----- what even is that?

    6 ------ is that 2 emdashes?

    Jump

  • what about 3 dashes --- oooo

    Jump

  • Oh cool -- I think I might start using emdashes a bit now, too!

  • The testing instance is not a source of traffic so the quota would have no direct effect on it. The savings there are a result of what's happening on other instances.

    I'm showing that the vote quota reduced federation traffic for the whole threadiverse by 30% to 50%. What's happening there is lemmy.world, etc, where all the communities are, are sending less votes to everywhere (including to my testing instance). It's the community hosters that send copies of the votes to everyone, not the instance hosting the voter.

    This is a huge win, especially for instances that host a lot of communities like lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, etc.

  • That graph is from a testing instance which has no users and only receives federated content. So the traffic shown there is only from federation.

  • Don't use the 0% one ;-)

    I often copy and paste post bodies into https://gptzero.me/, that one is great.

    Whenever you see an emdash, especially with no spaces before or after it, that's a pretty strong tell. But I never take action or level an accusation on that alone until I've run it through gptzero.

  • Imagine you're sailing a boat across a large ocean. You can do your maintenance and take care of small problems now while the weather is calm or you can wait until the storm arrives and then run around like a headless chicken and probably sink.

  • Ah, that was not intended!

    I've made it so that when a vote is rejected the post is still marked as having been read.

    In future when you use a LLM to write posts you must tick the 'AI generated' checkbox in the 'More options' part of the form. It's the rules.

  • "Ultimate" guide for literal beginners

  • Good question.

    A GUI will be easier to get into - you can use a gui file browser app to learn the layout of the file system, you can use a GUI text editor to change config files, that sort of thing. It'll mean you can do a few basic things intuitively which will be less intimidating. So from a maintaining momentum and morale point of view it might be best to have a GUI initially even though you have to learn all the cli stuff eventually anyway and you'll most likely be running a headless server on real hardware eventually.
