I don't think this is unique to any religion.

Religion is all inherently centered around trust in falsehoods. They mix it with normal philosophy, But due to the way our brains and imaginations work in relation to fear and tribal survival instincts, they get jumbled up, and the philosophy stagnates the same way the belief in imagined things does.

In other words, I view all religions as literal cult practices of irrationality and fear. Varying levels, for sure, but it's the defining trait of religion.

That being said, as long as those people practice modern respect for others' autonomous free wills, I don't have a problem with them. I just also think that the defining trait of religion is conducive to not doing that.

Oooooo... Yes that's it. Thank you. That's a good protip. I'm assuming that's a setting that I probably turned off while trying to make the the All page be more compact.

Edit: I don't know where that setting is. It's not in my profile settings.

Are you using a mobile app?

The correct way is to have an nsfw flag on magazines and as a flag standard on all fediverse post metadata, not suggest the magazines on all, let people make whatever they want, make sure it's marked nsfw if it is nsfw, and have true/false checkbox settings in client app and linked to home-instance profile settings: show nsfw posts on all, show nsfw posts on subscribed, blur nsfw pictures on all, blur on all, blur on subscribed, blur everywhere. Then you need to have per instance content configs that default to all disabled that you could enable if you want to control for specific instances. And if you aren't logged in, blur everything by default and probably hide nsfw posts everywhere by default.

Really it's not that hard. I could draw up model schemas and wireframes if you have no idea what I'm talking about or what to build. Probably have to see what it is currently first though if you want it compatible or conventionally the same.

It should all be default hide if not logged in, and have it all be logged in client settings saved on the home instance that the client account is on, mirrored and synced to client apps.

Apps should be number one priority for this stuff, with existing for profit platform replacement instance framework/apps coming soon, ideally there could be universal fediverse apps that integrate modules of specific ux for different types of fediverse apps (mastodon vs kbin) so that it all makes sense. Then, just have tabs within the universal app that even just containerize existing apps but passthrough data. I don't know what this stuff is on, kotlin, java, rust, whatever, i just wanna search for an instance and then search for content on that instance. Load instances the same way you join discord servers. Hell, just make a discord-like server app that people can run, have auth and whitelist but is federated, and people can closet host their own low-bandwidth "fedDIScORD" server instance that uses fediverse accounts and chatlogs and hosts whatever quality voip you want.

Yeah, absolutely!

Yeah you gotta at least give them an out. Always.

I AM :) actually aware of the tragedy of the Commons, and I think the prisoners dilemma is a lot closer to what I was thinking of initially than the dictator game.

Total sidenote, I actually just went to Reddit again for the first time in several days to check on the status of baconreader, the app I used for a very long time, since the app devs only post info there, on their subreddit for some reason. They're shuttering on the 30th, removing the app from all the stores, and not currently planning a lemmy/kbin app, which is super sad because I love their ux design. It's so strange seeing all the posts saying goodbye and thanks with all the champagne emojis and tears.

I'm on the android chrome kbin app, annnnnd i think you meant to embed that? But lol... For me it's the literal exact same bluetext hotlink

I'm not gonna lie, I don't understand at all. What is in the picture? Books? Why can't men make books?? Locking the comments? What is rule 6? I can try to infer what may have happened, but people are both very sensitive but people are also very shitty so I don't want to just guess.

Fyi Feedback in case you were curious about other people's experience:
On Android chrome kbin app, gif loaded into browser, image scaled to 1x and didn't fill or stretch at all, preloaded on its own fine, had to click play, didn't loop.

Reddit media always worked for me on Android baconreader. It had a few months sprinkled over the last ten or so years where random hosting sites or Reddit hosted media would choke, but it would always fix itself. I'm not sure how much of any of that is the app or the site or what.

This is the first I've heard of Ipfs and that looks VERY exciting...

Hm. From what I'm collecting organically, is that while the fediverse is definitely the future, it has some framework designs and philosophy on ....certain issues to really nail out before it can become web 3.0

[–] SCmSTR@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe nobody in lmg has been on it recently. I don't know about Mastodon specifically, but i know the kbin/lemmy stuff has EXPLODED in the last week and it's still growing that fast. Content is niiiiice :)
