Depends on what you call “online”.
I would say Q-Link on a commodore 64.

I had no opinion on hexbear coming into this thread. Now I’d be absolutely fine with hexbear being defederated.
Holy shit are y’all just the most annoying group of self righteous sea lions.
And one of those pronouns is “comrad”.
So cringe.
The video has some brief glimpses of scrolling. You’re not gonna want to watch video on this thing.
I’ve thought about joining a smaller instance too but I’m not from Australia either.

The question may have been very personal in nature. Possibly medical. Anonymity is helpful in such circumstances.
That’s not how open protocols work.
He can collect lemmy data without federating.
creates open protocol standard
Oh no! People are using it!
AOL is ruining the Internet!
I favor user choice. The more options people have, the better. If users want to use threads what do I care? That’s their problem. It’s not our job to police what other people want, nor to “punish” them for making decisions we don’t like.
Federate with them so long as the service meets standards for quality (no spam, no bot farms, no harassment, etc.). Some of those users will switch to other fediverse servers once they learn more about it.
For me it only shows my “default” setting even when I change it in the main page.
You specifically pulled up a [vote] post where that is the point. Try reading a [discussion] post.
Did you get told about the “paradox of tolerance”?
People need to chill a bit. The defederate hammer is being thrown around a lot lately without allowing admins time to respond. One moron setting up a community named thedonald isn’t the same as that same Reddit community seeing up base here.
Seems like it’s gone now either way? I can’t find it.
Yes, that’s pretty much what I’m thinking. It may be what was intended and I didn’t understand it? I just think it would be bad to just hand over all decision making to the mob…
You may joke, but that can be a problem with approaches like this. I like the idea in general, but it relies on a community that is reasonable and forward thinking.
There should be some council or something which also mitigates the worst impulses of the community. They would provide some general direction.
Do you have any money? Are you corrupt?
Yes - some guidelines would be good at least. And I think there is room to allow exceptions within a community. Maybe even some sort of ‘flag’ that indicates “self promotion is allowed” so people could exclude them if they wanted.
There are definitely some possible options other than “Allowed/Not Allowed”.
First - that’s beautiful work.
Second - I wish more open source folks would make a distinction between “advertising” and “self-promotion.” I’ve never minded the latter as much as the former.
That said - nuance makes for more argument and difficulty in moderation. It’s the same question of “tasteful nude photography” or “porn”.
They don’t like meta. Everything else is just justifying that.
