Hey, welcome back.

piefed.world hasn’t really invested much into populating their Explore menu, to make finding communities easier.

I’ve just added a few feeds though, check out https://piefed.world/feeds

Also https://feddit.online/topics is an amazing directory of all the communities. It’s a separate instance to piefed.world though so when you find good communities you’ll need to manually copy their address into your piefed.world account. Or just move yourself to feddit.online…

Cool diagram.

If you removed hexbear and lemmygrad (nearly everyone defederates them so they just clutter the place up) then the other information would be clearer. For example I didn’t notice that beehaw has defederated both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works until my third viewing.

There are 500 Lemmy instances and 80 PieFed instances which are too small to show on the graph :)

Hey @organicpu@lemmy.organic-server.org did you use a LLM like Ollama to write your post?

No shade if you did, I just want to make sure we’re categorizing things correctly at our end.

Thanks for the update.

So far the only OS / DE I’ve found that explicitly bans LLM contributions is Haiku OS.

Months of work to redo one super basic dialog box.

It blows my mind how slow large companies are.

I’ve been happily using lxqt for 6+ months. Their matrix channel is very alive and knowledgeable.

Oh, this is about the login wall?

lol that was just a temporary measure to fend off the scrapers. They’ve been really bad the last couple of weeks, especially.

I’m testing out a custom-built Anubis now, that should mean we can do without a login wall.

In what way?

No problem!

BTW in PieFed you can report a user account, not just individual posts. So if you go to https://piefed.world/u/stermy4u@lemmy.world then click on More -> Report that’ll ping the piefed.world admins about it. It looks like in this case they’ve been responding to individual posts by removing them and not seeing the bigger picture but they will see it once they look at the user profile.

It varies by instance. PieFed has “spam detection” (not really) which is just a list of the posts and comments that have been downvoted a lot in the last 3 days so it’s easy for admins to spot unreported badness and take action. I don’t know how often other admins do but I check that report multiple times per day.

For example I nuked unlogopoco from piefed.social a month ago

Looking at the modlog for stermy, I’m seeing a fair bit of moderation action being taken on them and very few posts since then:

On piefed.social I banned townflex.com entirely weeks ago, which must be why I’m not seeing their latest spams.

Basically Lemmy has really poor tools for this which makes mods and admins do a lot more work then necessary, causing them to burn out. If they used PieFed they’d have a much better time.

Ahh yep, that’ll be it. Thanks.

That I regret link isn’t working for me.

PieFed does all kinds of stuff but I talk about it in public.

e.g. https://join.piefed.social/2024/06/22/piefed-features-for-growing-healthy-communities/

Despite this I’m sure someone will arrive shortly to describe all the times I didn’t document or communicate clearly enough.

Hmm this version has 8 more people on it than the one I saw yesterday. Maybe it’s being actively maintained, despite the attention.

It looks like there is an ‘enable toxic mode’ setting that DOES switch off the auto-updating blocklist. The LLM that wrote this post claimed that there is no way to turn it off.

from src/lib/policies/system.ts:

export async function updateSystemFilterPolicy() {  
    if (SBDisabled && get(userSettings).enableToxicMode) {  
        SYSTEM_POLICY.set(BLANK_SYSTEM_FILTER_POLICY)  
        return  
    }  
   // auto-update of blocklist continues below  

The original post was written using AI so it’s going to have a lot of inaccuracies like that.

Overall though, having gone through the code myself, the LLM is in the right ballpark. The most friendly evaluation I can give is that this does seem poorly documented, too opaque and overly prescriptive. And needlessly encrypting the payload looks very shifty.

https://github.com/anomalyco/polaris does not exist. Is the url wrong?

Fuck off Jack
