#FediverseMigration

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

For everyone creating communities (#Lemmy instances) or "magazines" on #Kbin instances be mindful of the very real deficiencies that exist related to moderation, as @thisismissem writes about here (hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/110). We're all both excited about the promise the #Fediverse brings and equally pissed at what is going on over on Reddit but there is real *danger* in growing communities using software that might not be ready for it. Read Emelia's post to gain more understanding of the potential pitfalls (and guidance around moderation). One thing I'll add is that botching this migration due to immature software could turn people off from the idea of Reddit-esque fediverse communities indefinitely.

@jerry I'm certainly no expert on community creation/management much less moderating mid-large size communities but there are certainly others within the .infosec sphere (👀 @tweedge) who could weigh in. Maybe it would be helpful to post a guide of some kind (not saying *you* need to create it but you could help market it) which fairly warns #fedia and #infosecpub channel admins that moderation tools are lackluster and to tread carefully as they scale out. Happy to volunteer my own time/perspectives on adding something to a larger wiki for your various Fediversal properties as needed!

Hachyderm.ioEmelia 👸🏻 (@thisismissem@hachyderm.io)Okay, so, I've just done a review of the #moderation features in both #Lemmy and #kbin. I've written up a fuller report on the IFTAS matrix, but the tl;dr is: if you care about user safety, do not deploy either of these. They do not feature comprehensive or well built moderation tools, and you will not be able to effectively moderate instances running this software. You are better off waiting to deploy these once they mature more. Edit: removed user mentions to stop spamming them.

Shortly we will be opening up all the code used in this website to a full Open Source license.

Not everything would apply, but we would hope this open source code could be used by anyone building out a similar onboarding portals for the Fedi.

For example: #Calkey, #Pixelfed, #Kbin or #Bookwyrm or
#Goldfish or other sites may find parts of the code here useful and not have to rebuild EVERYTHING from scratch.

📈 Doctorow's post deserves all the boosts it is getting and more! @pluralistic reminds me of the BBS/FIDONET days when I had so much hope for human connections across the network. I wished for a world where ideas are exchanged and evaluated based on their (then largely text-only) content.

Perhaps that hope can be rekindled with the rise of decentralized social media.🤞
