That seems reasonable. While I don't expect those other communities to have much traffic, this achieves the same outcome without a full defederation.

We've refederated with them, blocked that community, and updated this post. Thank you for the feedback!

Hi @BubblyRomeo@lemmy.world, please don't post the same post in many unrelated communities. People will end up down voting it and reporting it as spam, which means that fewer people will actually see what you're trying to share, especially if your account gets banned for spam.

A few posts in relevant communities will go further than posting it everywhere.

You can go back through your posts and delete the ones that are off topic

Blocking the individual mirrored communities seems to be a better option than defederating the entire instance in cases like these.

Since the other communities are all completely empty, I felt that it didn't make much difference either way. The instance has been around for some time. However that is true, we could also stay federated and block that individual community to achieve the same outcome.

Exciting! You could also share this on !fediverse@lemmy.world and similar communities ( !fediverse@lemmy.ml, !fediverse@piefed.social)

edit: I see it's already posted on piefed.social :)

That's not what I meant though, I said that it speeds up the process of looking it up. It's about as good as an unreliable peer that tells you what it thinks is happening. I can then research it myself based on the keywords that it mentions.

It is similar to a web search, but with how bad search results are these days (a large part because of other people making LLM generated garbage articles), I find that asking a locally hosted LLM will give me a better starting point. Since it's running on my own simple hardware, I'm not as worried about the resource cost compared to the tech companies' ones.

I agree with everything else you've said though

That's enough for me to not run it, but proving it can be helpful in some contexts, such as this thread.

"This is malware because no legit site would authenticate like that" vs. "this is malware, it will do XYZ"

Could you surround the links with backticks to make them code blocks? That would prevent someone from accidentally clicking it

It did speed up the process of looking it up and confirming that it is malware.

LLMs are decent at pattern recognition, and so it pulled up relevant keywords associated with each part of the command. You can then look up the important section to verify. It's also something that a simple and locally hosted LLM could do.

I wouldn't run a random command, but confirming that it is malware would let me take further action to block the site / report it / help a family member that already ran the command

Congratulations :)

Thanks for linking the creator 😊, nice to meet you @lightone

Issue 2: Terrible mascot.

Mastodon has their mastodon carrying a knapsack. Lemmy has the lemming face. Pixelfed has a cute red panda. Friendica has.....some kind of demented looking rabbit with bugged out eyes? Seriously, what the hell is this?

I had no idea lol

I like it, but I get what you mean 😄

Being able to compare between options would help me pick which one I want to use :)

Alternatively, a way to filter the full list would be helpful. That way I can select the items that I need and see everything that has what I need.

This for example:

https://www.lemmyapps.com/

It would be cool if there was a table to compare them with, since right now you'd have to open each of them to check.

Thank you for putting it together though!

You can add an image to the thumbnail field to get the best of both options :)

How so?

I think it's reasonable that some communities will want to cater to a specific topic / group of people. If you want to discuss a similar topic, there's nothing stopping you from posting about it in another community or making your own community/instance.

If someone doesn't want to engage with you, it's silly to try and force them to engage with you.

@mesamunefire@piefed.social does anything show up when you log in to GitHub and check billing?

Was the timing of the protests the problem in your opinion? The way that it was done?

In your opinion, how should supporters of a party express what they want changed with an electoral platform
