A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.

      I hope lemmy won’t die month later.

      That’s literally impossible! An instance may go down, but it will stay cached.

      not enough. the big problem with activitypub/fediverse/mastodon/pleroma/lemmy is the lack of “nomadic identities”, which would allow full replication of my account on any instance.

      without nomadic identities, you have the same vendor-lockin bullshit as with reddit/twitter/facebook: when they close your account, your content is gone. when a lemmy-instance closes your account, your content is gone.

        This is not a simple problem to solve and it exists nowhere online. The fediverse however affords at least way more control than reddit or any forum where they can do the same and you have no options whatsoever

          This is not a simple problem to solve and it exists nowhere online.

          it is a solved problem. there are multiple implementations of the nostr protocol. nostr is newer than activitypub, so its less mature, but certainly a better foundation to build upon, ie more future-proof. nostr is similar to bittorrent: anyone can seed my content, and recipients can verify my content with my public key.

          The fediverse however affords at least way more control than reddit or any forum where they can do the same and you have no options whatsoever

          more control for admins, but not more control for users. i trust nobody, no admins, no moderators. sure, there are ways to archive and replicate an activitypub instance (just like reddit/twitter/facebook), but it is not a fundamental property of activitypub.

          conspiracy ahead: these federated tools (activitypub, matrix chat) are “popular” because they enable censorship. nostr is promising censorship-resistance, but its not quite there yet.

            I checked nosr. It’s very misguided. It’s anti-spam strategy is wishful thinking. I wish them best of luck, but my belief is that it will crash and burn due to trying to fix something unfixable.

              huh? relays can choose to block content.

              abuse of power is fixable through nomadic identities and signatures. your lemmy instance will “crash and burn” when you decide to pull the plug. its funny to watch people trying “more of the same”, naively hoping for the best with every iteration.

                relays can choose to block content.

                This is so naive I don’t even know where to start. But it’s ok, I don’t need to convince you. Reality will do it for me anyway.

                  please explain. me (and the nostr project) would love to hear your criticism.

                  also, relays are free to implement further anti-spam measures: captcha, email, phone, payment, …

                    No. I literally don’t have time to deconstruct this for you now. I suggest you open a dedicated thread for this discussion on one of the communities speaking about the fediverse and ask for people’s opinions. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of people to debate this with.
