Taiwan is not recognized by most countries.

Because of the Chinese Civil War (which technically never ended), both the government of Taiwan (under the name “Republic of China”) and Beijing (under the name “People’s Republic of China” claim to be the ‘real China’. At some point in time, most people recognized the Republic of China as the legitimate government of China, however, as the situation stagnated and the relevance of China became more important, most countries now recognize the People’s Republic of China as the legitimate government of China.

As for the NATO question - no, no such rule exists and nobody would want such a rule because it is a defence pact.

Yeah, either that or [any]. I don’t know why people would be offended.

Also, did you mean enby? I just realised you said nimby (not in my back yard) which is not quite the same thing lol

I know there are MSCs to make sure more data is e2ee like reactions.

As for anyone putting that in their platform pitch, it seems the closest was the representative of Gematik, the German Health service though most platform pitches are rather vague in details. You can read all of the candidates (do note that not all candidates were elected so do double check) https://matrix.org/governing-board/elections/2024/

I’ve seen a lot of people specify (any) or a combination in those cases but it is theoretically true, yes. (I don’t think that’s true here though)

Do you care to elaborate?

I can’t tell what you’re trying to say honestly.

It sounds like you are more concerned with the matrix.org homeserver than matrix itself.

No. The foundation also has massive influence in how the clients and protocol develop. These tools that I’m talking about are not built-in for matrix, they’re largely exclusive to instance admins through mjolnir or require the usage of bots. This is not a good state of affairs.

Matrix.org homeserver will eventually go away for personal use, this is the plan for the future.

I don’t believe this is true. I’ve never read such a thing.

The bullet points you listed are all currently able to be realized on any self-hosted homeserver.

Not every room or space will be hosted by someone self-hosting their server. I find it kind of appalling that this would be the solution. It’s certainly not what I’ve heard from people working on projects around moderation.

well the statistic you show does make it clear that little people expressed interest in moderation and/or trust & safety.

As for how I relate cisnormativity and the demographics of the board, I feel that people who may have no experience with harassment may not prioritize the construction of moderation tools.

On the technical side, I’ve expanded here in another comment here.

I’ve personally heard that Mjolnir works not great when it comes to admin things but the biggest problem that I’m aware is that Mjolnir does not really solve the problem for individuals with their rooms and spaces to moderate. I believe Draupnir (https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir) is trying to help with this particular flaw with Mjolnir.

One of the other things in terms of T&S is that it is my understanding that the team is too small and the tooling to handle the reports of abuse on matrix.org are not good enough.

As for mod tools more concretely, I think that people who are admins of rooms or spaces should have the following abilities:

• Clearer moderation roles
• More interaction between permissions in rooms and spaces
• Filters for slurs
• Blocking homeservers (in case of abuse)
• Reports that actually go to them

It should be noted that I’m not very familiar with the tools on matrix as I largely have little trust in my ability to moderate there.

The DMA (Digital Markets Act) has clauses that force big companies that are considered “gatekeepers” to allow interoperability with other services.

Images aren’t federated through ActivityPub so I don’t really see how deleting media is supposed to work.

Yes, they are. Every instance downloads everyone’s images for a “cached” version that is currently never used. This is what makes this problem especially insidious and straight up dangerous in cases like CSAM.

It’s a basic curl command, that shouldn’t be “arcane” if you’re setting up a server.

This is the equivalent of saying that any instance admin needs to know how to use curl while most people have never used a commandline. Not only that but you need machine access to know the api key which I would wager instance admins do not necessarily have.

I think this is the result of not prioritising work that makes moderation possible by non-technically inclined people and it is genuinely a failure of the system.

The priorities of development on Lemmy are decided by developers and the people who are not are simply pushed away. Most community leaders and moderators are not developers. The mental gymnastics to justify this lack of tooling is tiring.

They can, if they read the manual. Mods can’t, but instance admins can.

Yes. If you use arcane commands using the docs that are in a pull request that is not yet merged. This is not accessible to many instance admins and it is only “technically supported” which is the worst kind of support from my point of view.

Bad faith or not - Fascists are not accepted.

I mean, I essentially proposed to do this myself in private conversations with Dessalines but there was no willingness for a shared roadmap so it felt pretty pointless.

If you can point me to any comments like these, I’d love to remove them fwiw.

The codebase is remarkably not fun to work with according to everyone I’ve talked to. The language (rust) is also not common for web services so many have no experience with it. These things made people want to start from scratch.

It’s like this on beehaw as well!

Community managers - sometimes just talking about your issue with someone will help tremendously in figuring out how to put it and they often can just do it for you. That said, Lemmy devs do not value work being put in the issue tracker - they have admitted to not reading it. People who cannot contribute code are just entirely ignored and have no power in the project’s direction.

Stract and SearXNG are two entirely different projects. SearXNG is just using other search engines to power itself - it’s known as a meta search engine. Stract has its own index that does not use other search engines to power itself.
