Every report like this uses a small sample size to represent the entire population. Do you think they’re surveying 400 million people?

The question is, how did they get these 1500 people, and can it be repeated? If so, then the data is valid.

But basically, a lot hangs on how random their sample size was. Did they stick to one area? Did they stick to one age group, sex, etc. All in all, if the sample group is random, 1500 people is a valid measure for this data.

After this, there needs to be peer review. Other institutions need to be able to repeat the results with their own random groups.

But, 1500 is a great sample size. Just need to make sure it’s random and repeatable.

Because of the social expectation that Lemmy sets. The social expectation is that moderators have the option of defederating anyone on their users’ behalves. They shouldn’t have that right.

I understand that moderators exist across multiple jurisdictions, and their servers fall under multiple laws. So, while a moderator would be able to control his own server’s content under my system, his users would be able to login to other servers which he lacked control of. Granting mods control over local content, but not user interaction with the network.

Balancing expectation between user freedom and server ownership – the mod also being able to whitelist servers he’ll accept other users from.

Lemmy works by your posts propagating to other servers.

If you’re on server A, and I’m on server B, server B’s moderator can block all of server A. They can make it where I never see your content.

My grandmother was Ashkenazi. Bark up someone else’s tree.

Also, who moderates the moderators?

And, if a moderator of another instance defederates me?

Every single time people want to have an unmoderated, unchecked space, it’s because they — you — want to be able to air your most unsavoury opinions with impunity.

Exactly!

Then come the Nazis, then come the CSAM, the decapitation videos, the harassment and doxxing, and so on until some part of it passes your personal line in the sand for what’s acceptable.

That would be up to the server owner (Moderation). There’s nothing wrong with decapitation videos.

Then all of a sudden it’s “Wah wah, mommy give me moderation”. It’s the same for all this freeze peach crap.

There’s already moderation built into this.

The server moderator creates the community, or gives users permission to create communities on their server. I have no problem with that model.

Hosting servers basically have 4 functions:

• Registering users
• Authenticating users to other servers
• Hosting forums
• Pushing/Receiving notifications

Let’s say you’re running server at example.com, and I sign up. My username is bob. So, I’m bob@example.com.

Example.com has several local forums, but they lack a significant tech community. So, I go to example2.com, which has a large tech community. Using my login from example.com (and postMessages), I login to example2.com, as bob@example.com. Example2.com has example.com whitelisted as a valid authenticator. So, it will accept their users.

Let’s then say that Bob gets a reply at example2.com. Example2.com pushes a notification to example.com, where Bob can read it.

I think you should be able to decide which forums and cross-domains users you host and federate with on your own server, but not which cross-domains and forums your users interact with on other servers.

Because I shouldn’t have to be at the mercy of other moderators to communicate with people.

If I have an identity, I should be able to use it however I like.

Tried scuttlebutt?

Manyverse is a great client.

Sounds about right.

Lila still exists, whether I think of her or not.

I remember when they wanted to unify mobile phones and desktop computers, with a singular online storage account and DE that changed when you plugged your phone into a monitor. That shit was crazy.

I work at a nursing home and all the residents order from DD. The food there is bland as hell.

Government kills woman and then gets off with a fine.

The problem with that is that shorthand relies a lot on abbreviations: B = Be or By. But, at the end of a word, it can be ble, like tab. J can be J, or -age. A uses a single dot. So does -ing.

Because of that, I’m curious whether it would catch on or not.

No argument there. Is that Reddit, or the mods though?

Not necessarily.

GNU started out with a financial plan back when it first began. It’s still going strong.

The goals are what’s important. The character of the project.

Nah. Gregg Shorthand Anniversary Edition is practically indecipherable to AI.

It uses human intuition heavily.
