If you're wondering why I'm crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

  • Single-handedly making Lemmy more enjoyable

    Jump

  • I just crosspost the post from 1 .ml comm to 1 relevant non-.ml comm maintaining the crosspost as best I can so that it collapses (for people with supporting clients at least)

    Not really fitting the common definition of "spam", Users like Chobeat are probably closer to an actual spammer since when they post to the technology -.ml comm I can't crosspost it anywhere because they literally sent it to just about every "technology" comm on the Threadiverse LMAO

    but even then I wouldnt consider it actual spam

    I'm also not evading bans, my accounts are not banned anywhere to the best of my knowledge (well except for .ml, but that's a given lol) and I just rotate through them over and over again. I haven't made a new one in a long time.

    In fact, I've recently added a listing of accounts used for this crossposting purpose to the bottom of my megathread here if you wish to block them and I'm updating the bios on each account as I use them to include a similar blurb for people

  • It's a switch that's presented to the admins as they go through the instance setup process. It's defaulted to on, but it's not like it's even hidden in a setting menu somewhere

  • Don't link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!

    Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)

    Some highlights from the link:

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

  • I'm not sure catering to the opinions of random redditors is a useful approach, but that aside.

    It was but a mere example

    The Lemmy network and the Threadiverse at large being associated as just a Tankie hangout

    Which would be solved by creating an instance (or building up an existing instance) that isn't the triad.

    In this case Rimu (PieFed dev) and others were quick to jump in and steer, so hopefully this whole boycotting/cross-posting campaign at the very least gives them more fuel when these comments come up on the outside something like “Tankies are there, but they don’t have any important comms so you can just block those 3 instances or join [x] instance which blocks them for you”

    Which would also be solved with the same solution.

    It could help, but it's not a problem that any one solution is the solution. There's going to be some combination of solutions to actually solve it.

    1 sounds like artificially inflating the numbers

    Not really, I might have a lot of accounts, but it's still only 1 per instance so it's not really inflating the numbers. Besides most go by monthly active users for gauging the Threadiverse health which because of my pattern I might not even make up 1 MAU lol

    2 isn't that useful IMO because without the actual content / ongoing engagement you just end up with multiple ghost communities.

    I don't just make them, I do my best to actively contribute to them, like I said I also post "organically sourced" content and not just crossposts for this very reason

    3 i think the imposter problem is a user education error and/or could be better solved in a different manner.

    Um I'm not sure how that would be a user education error? I'm talking about someone maliciously making an imposter account and posting heinous crap "in their name" But there is currently no technical solution on the Threadiverse afaik for it

    4 this is what cross-posting is for right (though I'll admit that experience is lacklustre right now)? You don't need a whole account to cross-post between communities.

    Nah crossposts are a solution for a different problem, 4 is for when an instance hasn't federated with another instances remote comm yet and is therefore unknown to the instance

    For example, I made this post to my comm at !gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe today from this toast.ooo instance I'm on rn

    But toast.ooo never federated with that comm so as far as this instance knew !gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe didn't exist until I manually went to the comm by URL (toast.ooo/c/gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe) and subbed to it

    Until then nobody on this instance would have been seeing posts from that comm in their c/all/new/whatever feed, even if a post went "viral". But now they will and for every other comm I sub to as I go

    And that process happens a lot on these smaller instances I'm on, some will be missing even major comms like !pcgaming@lemmy.ca or !funny@sh.itjust.works

    That's what I mean by helping interconnect smaller instances

  • It's probably something obvious i'm missing, but what is the root problem ?

    The Lemmy network and the Threadiverse at large being associated as just a Tankie hangout

    For example, this was from a Reddit thread last week I saw when it was just starting to get big:

    In this case Rimu (PieFed dev) and others were quick to jump in and steer, so hopefully this whole boycotting/cross-posting campaign at the very least gives them more fuel when these comments come up on the outside something like "Tankies are there, but they don't have any important comms so you can just block those 3 instances or join [x] instance which blocks them for you"

  • Again, i could be wrong here, but it sounds like you're expecting a group of people who have shown no interest in moving on any of their positions to change their minds because you are drawing attention to content and behaviour...that they don't deem to be an issue in the first place.

    That sounds like screaming into the void to me, but as i said, i really don't understand the nuances at play.

    Injecting activity into non-.ml comms and growing them beyond the .ml version is probably the next best thing to wide defederation.

    At least it gives those advocating the Threadiverse on the outside something to say when people inevitably bring up tankies on Lemmy. Makes them less relevant.

    Isn't the system expected response to such irreconcilable disagreements to start your own instance (with optional hookers and blackjack), enforce your own rules and regulations there and let people decide which they prefer (if any)?

    Kinda, it helps dilute the waters further, but doesn't really solve the root issue
