Well, yeah, be kind and post!

Yeah, it’s totally understandable to be worried, in general. It’s not exactly ideal to be perceived as a racist.

Unless your name is AryanWarrior1488 I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

As is mentioned in the post, PieFed has Feeds. They’re really cool! There’s also the topics system, which is great if you want to browse specific categories without necessarily focusing on any one given community.

ALso… KEYWORD FILTERING! Super cool.

Every time I hear about PieFed it’s because a feature that Lemmy should have was already implemented on there…

Some mobile clients don’t recognize it.

The official Lemmy UI does recognize the triple-hyphen-m-dash, though. Thunder, on mobile, doesn’t, for example, but Alexandrite does. A bit of a hit-or-miss, I guess.

If you do triple-dashes alone in a line, they do a wide line. Triple-asterisks also work:

Like this;

And like this!

But if you do it mid-sentence — such as like this — they turn into an m-dash.

No, I don’t think so…

However, what you’re describing kind of sounds like a polycentric identity. Maybe check that out. Also, I believe ActivityPods aim to handle a little of what you’re describing, but I don’t know how much adoption it’s had.

Uhhhh… This is markdown… Double- and triple-hyphens get converted to n- and m-dashes. I use triple-hyphens all the time; they show up as m-dashes. I assure you I am not a robot 🤖 beep boop ! !

IDK man, over here I don’t think police interactions are as violent as they are in the US…

That is so dystopian, holy shit… I mean, if you see it as something people would want/need, then yeah, that sounds good. I don’t know if such a thing exists, though. This link shares some things, features, and apps that maybe do some of what you’re talking about.

Great write-up by Niccolò.

I actually agree with the commenter on that post, the lack of quoting and using images is pretty bad, especially for screen-readers (which I use), and not directly linking sources (though they are made clear regardless) is a bit of a pain.

Oh, kinda like r9k!

Oh this is fantastic news!

I’ll check it out, thanks :D

I hate how relatable this is.

I’ve been seeing quite a few posts about this, pretty funny that it all happened so fast.

I believe it’s actually possible to sign in with mastodon on Pixelfed. Wouldn’t that work for a single user mastodon instance too?

You’re right. I’m not sure if it works with single-user instances, but I believe it does. This is the sort of thing that is technically possible — I believe ActivityPods aims to do something about it, too — but I don’t know… I guess federation can be a bit of a safeguard for this, like having a list of flagged instances that don’t allow account creation; requiring certain thresholds of account age or activity to be passed; stuff like that. There’s also the fact that, being social media, no instance wants bots to run wild, so that could, itself, be a check on that sort of thing, and it might not be economically viable to just host an instance strictly for bot-login purposes, so that is just an inherent barrier to wrongdoing.

Meh, maybe it’s more feasible than not.

I think they meant on a post-by-post basis. You can’t farm account karma, but you can farm upvotes on individual posts, for ego, I guess…

There is the vibe-check on Lemmy, though. I don’t believe the algorithm takes that into account.

As others have mentioned in the comments, this might not really work because websites/services would have to trust a bunch of tiny, maybe even single-user instances.

I can see a world where sign-in with Fediverse is possible, but only for a select few instances such as .world, .ml, .ee, and a few other highly-moderated servers.
