Im on the fedi doin fedi things.
Yeah I agree. Seems like people are actively using their platforms. Its fun to see like startreck website person talking to a lemmy.world person arguing with a piefed person. All getting confused about a post on the sdf funhole community or something.
Im seeing a bit more comments on some niche communities I frequent. Its still a bit of a stop and go but thats how early websites/early reddit/etc… all felt and worked.
Personally:
Im liking the new mastodon integration work being done between piefed/mastodon. Ive been seeing better stuff coming out of lemmy. Mastodon seems to be using up less resources recently. And im seeing more and more people on the fedi just…around.
Screenshots on traditional media is starting to have screenshots of fedi resources like a mastodon post. So thats how you know when things are picking up…when they start stealing from you haha.
I had a nokia brick for a decade…like actually. It had fantastic games. I even got ebook (as txt) working.
I know on some fedi platforms there is software that will auto-track if a user is a bot or not.
EX: https://piefed.social/u/circuitai@lemmy.world is banned already on my home instance.
Users can be explicit and identify their account as a bot. Which is for the good of everyone (auto-tagging bot for example)
The community can also tag a user as a bot and it will show up as an icon. The can get it removed but theres usually a process.
I know theres at least one instance where they have some sort of algorithm set up to help detection.
I know piefed has some of the above if I recall. Different fedi platforms have different ways of combating it. Its interesting…because if a bot owner wants to be successful they have to try combating multiple ways of dealing with filters/algorithms like the above.
Its kinda like the Linux community and viruses. Sure viruses CAN run on linux…its just VERY hard to do so without market share, multiple iterations of the kernel/software, and overall more eyes on the source code. I can go in right now and improve piefed for example and have something out in a week(?)s time.
Overall, its not impossible for bots to come to the fediverse, its just much harder to stay undetected and filtered out if your using niche platforms.
Im glad more people are posting deathbulge.
Its all the same under the hood.
And the system gets quicker!
This artist has it rough in particular.
Oh wow our first beef community! Thats awesome!
You are correct.
Just want to add one thing, there MUCH easier ways now than those kind of setups. Its just not as cheap/accessible. I worked at a library and there is specific setups for certain kinds of books you cannot reproduce and still need to get a good scan in.
Mine just updated today. Its been working out for me and my family for 6ish months now. Cant complain.
Unrelated to the thread. Thats a great username. [Object Object] haha.
It was fun in college and a bit after. You dont lose anything learning it.
I personally like python more for scripting an MVP out really quick. Ocaml has some nice algorithmic stuff and I remember a UI library that made it fun.
Sounds good let me know how it goes. Its been 2 years for us and while the initial projects were somewhat vibe coded. Theres just more software doing things so ironically it means much more work for us.
We went through 1 months worth of tokens in 5 days. It was a 4k bill lol.
I remember most people had more copies than real. But ironically the people wiyh the biggest collections would often buy the offical releases.
The solar punk instsnces are pretty cool.
I personally like it over here on piefed.
Sdf is awesome.
A lot on docker and yunohost.
Gotosocial is the most used service for the family.
coo.
