While this sounds like a backward move for the local, smart home standard Matter, Hui emphasizes it is optional for manufacturers. Plus, if a manufacturer does choose to enable it, consumers can turn it off at the network level. “The spec requires border router vendors to give capability to the users to disable this functionality,” he says.
I guess we'll see.
Dude. Paragraphs.
All the governments?
The point is that if you're going to keep blackmail, you have to share with the government.
The easy answer is to stop keeping blackmail.
It's a guideline, not a rule. Just talk to us if you have a situation.
This is one of your first comments in nine months. Generally we look for more activity than that before granting a mod request. What are you suggesting we do about it? Remove the current mod and replace them with... ?
You can help grow the community without being a mod. If they're taking unfair action against you, come talk to us (as you have). If they're afk, that doesn't stop the community from growing.
Community hoarding would certainly be a point against them in any discussions, but first there has to be a discussion.
If you want to take over a dead community, or a community where the mods have been inactive for six months, please reach out to me.
!leagueoflegends , but... someday.
I’d be stuck moderating those communities
Hi, I'm with the Community Team of Lemmy.World.
Moderating a small community really doesn't take more than five minutes a month. Assuming you're on a lemmy.world account, you'll just get notifications when people report things (depending on your client). All you've really gotta do is set some rules (optional), and respond to reports within a reasonable timeframe.
I'm making a real effort to avoid supermods like Reddit had, but a big part of that is getting people who aren't just hungry to use mod powers to volunteer to mod. Most of the time, when reaching out to people to mod, I'll either get no response to my message at all. Often I'll get "I dont have the free time at the moment for a commitment" from someone who posts 9 times a day, every day.
Meanwhile, I believe the mods we have now are pretty great, and they'll absolutely volunteer to help more.
I understand how Reddit got to the position they're in. If people wanna help avoid that, please step up. Unless you're modding !news or !worldnews or something on that level, it's very rare you actually have to do something. And for people that are active, just being subscribed to the community and browsing it as you normally would does the job.
You absolutely can go farther, but you don't have to be a mod to grow a community.
Please, if you're browsing Lemmy at least a few days a week anyway, take a look at the mods in couple of your favorite communities. If they haven't posted in 6 months, reach out to me.
There's a purpose in showing that you put a little bit of thought into the email, not only for courtesy, but also because spending that attention can help you spot errors.
Which it seems you're missing the point of.
For many of us, Matter/Thread was a way to get away improve privacy and get away from Vendor apps and proprietary bullshit. This is a step towards reduced functionality when you don't allow the devices to phone home.
They say you can turn it off now, but will it work out like that in practice?
