I disagree that commenting for the sake of commenting is a good idea. Quality over quantity, a single meaningful discussion is superior to a sea of low effort garbage. I also want the fediverse to take off, but not at the cost of adopting modern Reddit culture.
a “good post”, by this metric, is really just a post that baits lots and lots of engagement
Baiting anything is bad.
by thread bumping
Thread bumping is still possible on Reddit-like social media too. Just use a sort that responds to activity, like the Active sort on Mbin or Piefed.
There WAS 1 chick in the fediverse.
The situation took a dark turn recently.
No, they're downvoting because they don't like what the post is saying.
People misusing voting buttons as a like/dlislike button is a well known issue and reality, at least on Reddit. But considering the system works the exact same here, it's no surprise that the same problem persists here as well.
I assume it's due to people not trusting Youtube with false positives. They don't have the best reputation with the rest of their AI moderation stuff.
Swiss/Allemanic German. Specifically I speak Zug's dialect.
That's perfect, exactly what I meant to say.
Mer chönd das scho probiere, aber denn müsst mer ja di ganz Ziit en Übersetzer zur Hand ha, wär denn doch nöd die best UX würdi säge. Das würd d'Neuakömmlige nur no meh verschüüche.
Sounds like a torrent
Because it is torrenting. I clicked on the "More information" link in the popup and:
PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server. The main threat to your privacy induced by BitTorrent lies in your IP address being stored in the instance's BitTorrent tracker as long as you download or watch the video.
No idea about copyright though, but I also don't quite understand the issue there that doesn't apply to ActivityPub itself too.
Well, it's different meanings of "posting to your profile". I get it you're using the technical/backend/AP meaning of the post being posted to the user's account and then the community just announces it iirc. At least that's how it works on Lemmy, never looked into how Mbin does this exactly, iirc there's differences to how Lemmy and Mbin communities look from Mastodon.
But in this thread's context, it means that you make a post, and it's only visible on your profile, nowhere else. Not in any magazine. New Reddit has this feature, where you can choose to make a post to /u/username instead of any specific subreddit, and then the post is only visible on your user page.
It's unclear what exact meaning the person I replied to meant, but it's definitely not the technical one, considering their wording. So with "Mbin doesn't actually support posting things to your profile yet" I meant it in the context established by OP.
Matrix definitely is federated.
You ran into the trap of taking "fediverse" at face value. It neither invented nor monopolizes federation. E-Mail is federated and has nothing to do with the fediverse. Wikipedia's page on federation lists the very internet itself as the prime example.
Not implementing ActivityPub doesn't mean Matrix isn't federated.
