Yes I’m aware the design of the fediverse makes things public. You’ve made that point.

I think hiding your profile is worth the moderation trouble. Users report individual posts, they’re very rarely going through a person’s profile.

Mods banning based on activity in other places also leads to the opposite problem. Some subreddits do it and basically everyone hates it.

As long as they don’t dislike decentralization itself, we can definitely improve the user experience for some of these things without having to drop decentralization entirely.

Admins would still be able to see it. Mods can maybe see for their comm.

This is the same argument used against all privacy. The EU wants to kill end to end encryption so they can catch bad actors. No thank you, I’d rather my messages were private and so was my lemmy profile.

No I want it to be private (optionally) . The other guy was saying it’s not fully private still so I think you can tell users that if they want to make it private, but that shouldn’t be a reason to not make it private

It’s better than leaving the door unlocked

Then too bad? Why should my privacy be compromised because other people don’t pay attention.

Also you don’t have to click past it, I was just suggesting a static banner on the profile page, or next to the setting where’d you’d turn it off

Why does it have to be all or nothing? Why can’t I have some casual privacy, to stop every idiot from gawking at my post history?

If you want people to know, just put a big banner there “YOUR POST HISTORY IS NOT FULLY PRIVATE”

What so anyone who doesn’t have a particular interest in decentralization should just leave? That’s a great way to lose 98% of your userbase

There’s a difference between full guaranteed privacy that not even the NSA could get past and showing your post history by default in a nice UI for everyone to browse

Reddit’s search has noticeably improved. Ours hasn’t. Plus you can always search reddit via external search, but federation breaks traditional search engines

update: I have failed to get this running, even with llm help

?? What did I do?

Edit: oh nvm

This could be revolutionary, thank you 🙏

I’ll try it out when I have some free time

Also I assume you’ll fix the button alignment, because it’s quite annoying

Feels too wordy and impersonal. How about

You can’t. Even if there are mirrors elsewhere, you have to use github at least indirectly to contribute to the source

Given the rise of anti-US sentiment and calls to stop using their products, more people leaving Github might be a real occurrence

Highly unlikely. Github has nothing to do with current politics and has massive network effect. There is no way in heaven or hell you’ll see much effect on Github from this

Maybe a NSFW one, but beyond that I feel like it would defeat the point

We could certainly have mods for this default community too, that’s not crucial to the idea.

Could you expand in where this conflicts with activitypub? I thought AP was too general to care about something like this

I’m no expert on how lemmy is implemented, but I don’t see why not. Would probably just involve a post removal + a post creation, with some scaffolding code to handle the uglier details

It’s like two 2 js functions, I can dm you the code if you want
