@jonah@lemmy.one

Jonah is the admin of Lemmy.one, a tracker-free, federated link aggregator, as well as privacyguides.org, mstdn.party, and discuss.techlore.tech.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

jonah,

"The content" on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back... I don't know if it's possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.

jonah,

Welcome! Feel free to ask if you have any questions about anything :)

jonah,

Good question, yes, it should be renamed to “default sort type” IMO, because it just sets the default for these sorting settings on the homepage:

https://lemmy.one/pictrs/image/8ec35b18-9c76-43dc-a635-e0630918573e.png

It doesn’t completely hide non-local posts if you have “local” selected, because as you noted each community has this interface available anyways :)

jonah,

Do some instances not allow community creation / have higher requirements for it?

Right, some instances like lemmy.one (which OP is on) and beehaw.org restrict local community creation to admins only: https://lemmy.one/post/41 https://beehaw.org/post/413919

jonah,

It's worth noting that !tf2 already exists. You might be better off seeing if they'll give it to you at !community_requests.

“At Gen Z’s age, older people worked 40 hours a week, and made enough money to buy a house and have barbecues on the weekend,” says Corey Seemiller, an educator, researcher and TEDx speaker on Gen Z. “Gen Z works 50 hours a week at their jobs, and another 20 hours a week side hustling, yet still make barely enough to cover rent.”

Not sure how they wrote a whole article that basically just says this same idea they quoted at the beginning with a lot more words. Gen Z’s money troubles are very easy to comprehend lol

jonah,

I'm trying to understand this community and posts there like "how to disprove the lies about the DPRK?" To me, the most telling thing about these pro-North Korea communities is that there are no North Koreans within them 🙃

jonah,

It's worth noting that instance admins can purge comments from the database entirely from the web UI if they so choose, so if you accidentally post PII or something, get in touch with them.

jonah,

Just my password manager and uBlock Origin :)

jonah,

You can see that their blog post from June 2022 is nearly the exact same as their blog post "from April 2023," which makes me suspect this was a mistake on their blog which news publications ran with:

Weird though!

jonah,

New sites saw it and reported on it again?

Right, I think that's basically what I'm saying. Mozilla is not the most fantastic company at communication lol

jonah,

I don't know what controversy we're involved in, but we're happy to be here!

jonah,

Oh, modifications. Yeah, no way to do anything like that as far as I know, to preserve consistency across different instances.

jonah,

Don't know! We'll evaluate it as we go, I don't have an issue with enabling them if it's clear that not having them is problematic, but I also don't think people need a negative indicator to know not to engage with low-quality content.

jonah,

I think it's improved significantly in the last 6 months, and I'm enjoying using it here so far!

jonah,

Ah right, as the developers are self-described communists I imagine that had something to do with who was drawn to Lemmy initially, but I definitely think it all evens out as more people join. I haven't seen much in the way of politics in general on some of the newer big servers like Beehaw.org, and we don't really have political communities hosted locally on lemmy.one at all.

jonah,

I mentioned Lemmy on Mastodon and some people noted some controversy surrounding the "main" instances. I don't know exactly what concerned people, but I definitely think that more bigger, possibly saner instances like beehaw.org and—hopefully—now lemmy.one can make a better first impression on users.

Also, federation with non-Lemmy platforms seems to be much better than it was last time I looked at this place 6-12 months or so ago.

jonah,

Downvotes just don't work inside communities hosted on lemmy.one. They might work on your own local midwest.social instance, I'm not sure, but if you downvoted my comment here nobody would be able to tell on lemmy.one, and nobody would be able to tell on other federated instances like lemmy.ml or beehaw.org, because lemmy.one simply would not federate that information to them.

jonah,

It's not a configurable option. Maybe with a custom interface change, but I'm not convinced that making changes to Lemmy.one that remote users don't experience is the best move.

jonah,

I can't even access monero.house in my browser, I assumed the instance was offline 👀

I can see your comment here so I assume it is working. I don't think we have an instance allowlist here so we should federate with anyone who isn't on the denylist, and monero.house isn't blocked by us.

jonah,

The entire thread is an ad hominem debate, so I was simply not engaging with it seriously, because "you use a profile pic made on iOS" is a statement which has no relevance to whether I know about privacy or can open a privacy community on Lemmy.

Could be a good point about indirectly endorsing it though, in reality it was just the first picture I saw in my folder of profile pictures I choose from. I'll probably switch it out 👍

jonah,

Oh yeah, NextDNS is blocking it in their "Threat Intelligence Feeds" as well, that was my problem.

@admin maybe you should look into https://blocklist-tools.developerdan.com/entries/search?q=monero.house

jonah,

Yep, for things you host absolutely. However, P2P applications (e.g. torrent clients) are still going to be negatively affected by this.
