A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny... Let's have it!

  • Managed to save 13% on my energy bills and lock that in for 16 months. Now to crunch down on my broadband and mobile charges.

    Small beer compared to all the rises you have no control over but every little helps, I suppose.

  • That's awesome. Good stuff.

  • Virginia Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault, says she has days to live after car crash

    Jump

  • I officially take back all the mean things I've said about the noble Prince Andrew and our, beyond reproach, Royal Family. And I definitely won't be posting to !abolishthemonarchy@feddit.uk again. In fact I never have, my account was hacked.

    Was that OK? Did I say enough? "You'll let me know?" That's hardly reassuring.

  • What do you think might be some fun, positive ways for instances to distinguish themselves?

  • The government also faces discontent from more than 150,000 people who will lose their carer’s allowance as a result of the person they look after no longer qualifying for personal independence payments under the reforms. Official impact assessments show this will save £500 million.

    Steve Darling, the Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokesman, called it “the biggest cuts to carer’s allowance for decades”, causing some families to lose a total of £12,000 a year.

    The Labour MP Rachael Maskell urged ministers to “withdraw this policy”. Carers UK, a charity, said that claimants were “shocked, worried and scared”, warning that “families will effectively lose two main strands of financial income at once”.

    That's just cruel - carers save the country a fortune.

  • Federated wiki software?

    Jump

  • Does something like this exist?

    Jump

  • Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).

  • Importing Facebook posts into Mastodon or Friendica?

    Jump

  • You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.

  • Deleted

  • You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.

  • There is a second wafrn instance now.

  • Reddit is worse, it is utterly indifferent to us. We're just the skulls getting crushed under the treads of Skynet's tank.

  • I hope people keep maintaining international trade relations, or else polititians may exploit it to push nationalism.

    Oh indeed, we're part of the larger !buyeuropean@feddit.uk movement, unfortunately, post-Brexit it will cost us more.

    And we support FOSS from anywhere.

    Yeah, you do want to reduce the air miles and your carbon footprint.

  • Which tools specifically?

    Standard Web forum tools include:

    • Editing posts - the main issue is misleading titles
    • Moving posts to different communities
    • Merging posts
    • Splitting comments into separate posts
    • IP check

    This post makes some good points about reports federating (being worked on, I believe) but also about the lack of what we'll call a "moderation panel" where you can access tools for the community, like seeing a list of banned users and being able to add to it there or unban someone.

    There are other "nice to have" tools like post approval

    I am curious to see what moderation tools PieFed, has and NodeBB now they are federated, but the documentation is skimpy on that front.
