@weirdwriter@atomicpoet@oliphant As a full-time accessibility engineer, I leave GAAD to the tourists. I do the work all year round, and also poke my beak into things that aren’t necessarily my business but I can see issues that clearly need fixing.
I grew up with two brothers, but I only have one these days. One had conal dystrophy and was almost fully blind when he gave up on life. This work is personal for me.
@atomicpoet It's actually been there for a while, I'm friends with the developer. But the model and approach of Yarn is a bit different, so there's both technical and social differences in the connection.
For example, Twtxt users tend to practice "slow social", Yarn doesn't implement notifications, by choice.
@jerry@atomicpoet@fediversenews@kainoa we should really be thanking @syuilo since they are the one whos been working non stop on Misskey (that Calckey is a fork of) for like over 10 years now?
@atomicpoet Its sad that some weird people instead of responding to the topic of discussion leave it,and begin to attack & threaten people they dont agree with instead.
I understand some people may be on smoke or drugs or just naturally hostile/violent in real life, but why bring that on #mastodon or why even join it if you cant obey the simple rule of "do not harass or attack other users" on most servers?
And most users just keep quiet on seeing such abusive behaviour, weird again.
Friendica once had moderate comment control. The current devs removed it.There's always streams if you want to see what is possible when you aren't ruled by market share and just want a safe space with cool tools.
@AbortTheGQPNOW@steve#Calckey is basically a microblogging platform just like Twitter and Mastodon. However, Calckey has many, many more features than both:
Photo galleries
Groups
Webpages
Cloud storage
Emoji reactions
Best way to understand it, is to try it. Here's a server that you can try out with:
Like #Friendica, /kbin can ban trolls from participating in groups.
Unlike Friendica, you can remove posts local to where the group is hosted.
Unfortunately, the offending comments still appears in user timelines because other Fediverse servers do not delete after comments are removed locally.
Another alternative could be #Calckey which supports groups through "Channels". However these do NOT federate.
@atomicpoet Currently, I'm trying to adapt to Lemmy, which I know best. Friendica and *Key are much more mature software than /kbin. I'm still allowing myself to experiment until I release the first version and officially open kbin.social. Currently, I'm monitoring the situation and I'm able to react quickly enough not to bother anyone with my instance. I'm gathering feedback from people, which is great and will definitely speed up the work https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues. I'll look into integrating with Friendica, as it works a bit differently. I know how important it is.
Currently, kbin is more of an instance for early adopters, and I want to make that clear.
So the #Lemmy docs cover the essentials. Seems pretty good. A community has moderators specific to that community, who can also moderate over federation from another instance!
Also, it seems a user can be locked out from a specific thread without being banned from the community.
Creating a new community is open to all lemmy to and following one subscribes you to the group like with friendica (just in case you didn’t know)
I’ve known this for awhile: the reason Twitter funded Bluesky is because they were sick and tired of being held liable for all the kinds of crap that gets posted to their platform.
Twitter no longer wanted to be in the publishing business. They wanted to be in the algorithm business.
How to do this? Force people to host their own content.
Yes, at calckey.social, we blocked mastodonapp.uk. This was not an arbitrary decision.
We received multiple reports of transphobia from mastodonapp.uk, with no action being taken from their mods. For the safety of our users, many who are transgender, we had to initiate defederation.
This was not a choice we made lightly, but our community’s safety comes first.
Well I cancelled my monthly donation to mastodonapp.uk
I assumed I might have made some awful social faux pas around November/December and loads of people I was being friendly with either disappeared or maybe blocked me. Awful meme-age or poor taste in music, or cooking related or something.
Turns out loads of servers blocked my server without there being any solid communication of that to users here.
Absolutely, we don't want folks to block us and we especially don't want it if it's something we haven't had the ability to fix. I've re checked reports and have seen nothing from Calckey domain so either something is broken with their ability to send us reports or the report was simply never shared with us for us to do anything.
As soon as we know the report info we will investigate and resolve the concerns.
