Exploding heads is literally shutting down. So he may have a point.

As cool as the technology is behind nostr the current community is absolutely terrifying. Hopefully it can grow out of that.

This is the craziest fucking thing I've ever heard.

Have y'all considered an automod? I've only briefly looked at the existing lemmy bot apis but I think they're mature enough for something like that to be relatively simple. I don't mean to volunteer any work on y'all's behalf but I bet it's something a user may be willing to throw together.

Isn't the significant presence of hexbear folks here pretty solid evidence that their admins don't have good control over their users (or rather that they have no interest in following their own rules)? They were specifically told to stay out of metas for other instances.

And they're still doing it both in this community and over on their own instance.

Some of us experienced the harassment personally and are not eager to allow those people free reign over our spaces.

Tankies are authoritarians. You know what they meant.

Very true. Following hashtags is a pretty essential feature.

Groups boost posts from all users that mention them. https://a.gup.pe/ is one implementation of groups with mastodon (and other federated microblogging platforms) in mind, but lemmy communities actually work the same way when followed from mastodon. I believe other fediverse platforms implement groups in similar ways under the hood. This means that everything is more or less interoperable between platforms.

EDIT: Try it yourself! Follow technology@lemmy.world from Mastodon to see what I mean. Although I don't know that I would stay a follower of a community that large unless I wanted significant impacts on my feed. A smaller, potentially more useful, addition to your feed are things like gardening communities.

Those are actually not groups. Groups boost posts from all users that mention them. https://a.gup.pe/ is one implementation of groups with mastodon in mind, but lemmy communities actually work the same way when followed from mastodon.

Their paid service saw a significant loss in users. Something like 12% before they shut down the counter.
