  • You may not like how I expressed my opinion, but that doesn’t mean that I need to agree or comply.

    Well that's part of the problem and i'm just doing my job. I don't expect you to change that quickly. It's not my thought alone

    When I talk about the shortcomings of the Fediverse and the lack of ambition of the developers, it’s because I’ve already got lots of people in here, but the overwhelming majority of them ended up going back to the proprietary platforms because there simply isn’t enough interests/interesting people. It tries so hard to reject mainstream and “normies” that it ends up feeling hostile to them. The majority of people are not interested in being lectured 24/7 by patronizing tweenies.

    Well i had the same experience and i'm older than twenty year old. :)

    My role isn't to force them using free software or being part of the fediverse movement. I present software, show them how it works. I contact association, governement...explain them the problem, show newpapers, present solutions and it's up to them to change their habits. We can't change people habits except if governement decide to takes actions to protect our freedom and rights.

    You don't have to take it personally. They prefer big tech, so let them use big tech.

  • My goal is not to convince Rimu or any of the people working on PieFed to change their minds. I know they won’t. I’m not trying to win any argument here. I’m talking in a public forum, giving my opinion, so that others can have a contrasting point of view

    My goal as a moderator/piefed staff is to make you understand that the way you shared your arguments/opinion is not okay. It's not about telling the truth, the truth doesn't have to be harsh, blunt...that's a false belief. You can be nice and share your knownledge/opinion. And i gave you several options.

    I want to make this place as useful and universal as the centralized platforms. But I find this line of reasoning quite strange, to be frank. Do you think that people should only be here if they are willing to conform to a certain set of values?

    Well i'm part of the Kittens : https://chatons.org/ I meet people IRL and tell them about the fediverse, and show them how they work, i did 2 conferences on Piefed to newcomers last summer. I also did the wiki of Piefed.

    I'm not only acting in the fediverse and the web but i'm also there IRL, where most of people use big tech. If you want to make this place useful and universal as centralized platforms, i think the best way to change people is telling them about the fediverse IRL, not here beside technical stuff or ui.

  • I had more people being brutally honestly and calling me out, to bring me back to reality. The worst thing is to when people say they want “feedback”, but are only willing to listen to those who validate or fake-support them.

    That's nit my point. If anyone were brutally honnest the world wouldn't be better because you do hurt people. They will stop being in contact with you.

    So what's the point telling them all this ? You argument fell into a pit. S i gave you some tips to keep interaction with people and sharing your opinion and your technical knowledge without being harsh.

    You don't have to be harsh to tell the truth.

    All of the “features” you are giving as “superior” are meaningless, if the Fediverse is only interesting/useful for 0.1% of the overall population. I don’t care about moral superiority. I will not consider the Fediverse “beyond” anything on any front until TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, Bluesky, et al are irrelevant as tools for mass communication.

    So why are you here ? What's the piint of being here if they are "superior". I'm sorry, i disagree with you, it answered the need of bilkions people and i'm convaincing people IRL to migrate on these platform. They are happy to know that there is alternative to gafam.

    And lastly, being able to see video from another service wasn't possibke before. It's the first time i see something like this thank to activitypub protocole. It's amazing. So please stop.

  • Social media “platforms” are bad by its very nature and chasing this idea that we can “fix” them by making open source versions of them is a fool’s errand.

    Well, the fediverse is already beyond proprietary platform :

    • IA content is restricted
    • moderation action is in the modlog and transparency
    • there is not ads
    • we have some collective created to make a media network suntainable for anyone accessible to everyone.
    • piefed offer other mean to the binary voting system
    • maybe people are looking for similar software ?

    The threadiverse is already beyond proprietary software thank to those many people building the fediverse.

    why can't we duplicate well loved proprietary platform ? We are following people needs and also slowly try to create something different by listening to people feedback. For example : we can watch peertube video. Later we will be able to use mobilizon, funkwhale...


    Lastly, please, i understand that you are passionate about it but i don't want to see this kind of critizism for any software, whatever they are :

    PieFed as just a pile of hacks with no serious consideration for the Fediverse

    It's rude toward peopke who invested so much effort and gave their time to build it. It is inconsiderate. You can write a critize but without insulting people and convey your thoughts.

    For example :

    I disagree with piefed devlopment because their will be problem with activityPub interporability. My concern is...

    (Sorry, i'm bad at understand technical detail, i can discuss over these matter)

    And why i insist telling you that ?

    That's the key are in argument, discussion : people will listen to your point.

    Lastly, the hardest part is also to listen what the other side say about this. It's very difficult to listen even for myself as part of piefed's staff. It's not black and white, there is lot shade of colors :)

  • It’s this kind of thinig that makes me think of PieFed as just a pile of hacks with no serious consideration for the Fediverse

    Was it necessary ? I invite you to rewritte.

  • Hi, i really, really invite you to use piefed git in Codeberg and open an issue here.

    Why ? Because it will be easier for piefed dev to track your feedback and organize it for the next update.

    As for the emoji functionality, iceshrimp/mastoon already use them. I'm not well versed on the technical side.

  • Floemarket ?

  • The new button that will detect AI content :)

  • Thank i should try it one day. So it will be the second microblogging software. On the threadiverse side, only Mbin support well microblogging :)

  • okay, i will add lemmy repo and matrix room. :)

  • Yep, afaik, they will suggested to change their unused "magazine" section into "threadiverse" timeline. :)

  • I'm disappointed by their decision. However there is lot fork compatible with the fediverse. I know some dev team that are interested federation of missked with lemmy and piefed. Mainly because of jlai.lu :)

    You can follow this project there : https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/Iceshrimp.NET

    The discussion about lemmy support is there : https://chat.iceshrimp.dev/#narrow/channel/6-support/topic/.E2.9C.94.20lemmy-support

    And @tournesol@feddit.fr is the admin of feddit.fr. So i hope we will have the first microblogging software that support well the threadiverse. :)

    I just sent them a request for piefed and mbin support. :)

  • Cool features, thank you :)

  • I added it weeks ago in : markdown

    Jump at bottom page :)

  • Well, i don't know the reasons. I don't know if your content was curated or not. I can't comment for other mods's actions without its context. I guess their past actions hurted you, i'm sorry about that. Imho, you can forget that and continue to build the community you love.

    Being one of the largest lemmy instance make moderation work difficult to manage especially on sensible topic as politics.

    For example, if a post bring lot debate, comments...it is lot work because we have to cool them off, make sure they don't attack each other, make sure that everyone can express their opinion and fell safe, all within the instance's and community's rule.

    So, some mod team can premptively remove content to keep their space safe. So anyone can discuss. We are not moderating, we are creating a safe place, a community with a certain philosophy, editorial line.

    At least, that's what i'm trying to do.

  • Very complete answer :3

  • I'm not sure to understand, you suspect a removal of your content ? I think the best solution is to contact lemmy.world team.

    There may be a federation issue.

  • A little recap for people around the world:

    • assemblée national > senate (i'm not sure if it is the correct translation)
    • Rassemblement National = RN = far-right
    • Ensemble = centrists = Macron group
    • Nouveau Front Populaire = NFP = left-wing "alliance" with communist, ecologist, socialist party,

    I said :

    left-wing has win with a narrow margin.

    And do you know why the chart mention LR twice ?

    • Les républicains (LR)
    • Rassemblement national (LR + RN) => RN (LR+RN)

    The LR were opposed to an alliance with the RN.

    82 % des députés qui siégaient au sein du groupe LR jusqu'à la dissolution de l'Assemblée nationale se sont d'ores et déjà exprimés contre une alliance avec le RN.

    Translation:

    82% of the deputies who sat in the LR group until the dissolution of the National Assembly have already spoken out against an alliance with the RN.

    Most of LR opposed to alliance with RN. It was a standalone decision from Eric Ciotti, old secretary of LR and he faced opposition. LR tried to remove him from secretary position several time.

    And the chart showcase it well. Let's recap:

    • Les républicains (LR): opposed to an alliance with the RN
    • Rassemblement national (LR + RN) => RN (LR+RN): LR that agreed with Ciotti decision of an alliance with the RN.

    Here, NFP is a single group that include several left-wing group : socialist, ecologist, communist, france insoumise.

    So the score should be : NFP 178> centrist 159 > RN 143

    You are right, there is no clear winner but :

    • In france, in you get 48,9% of vote and if i get 48,8%, you win the election. Unjust.
    • If you dig how the legislative 2024 went...there is something interesting. The first round often ended with 3 groups : NFP, centrists, RN. In order to block RN, NFP and centrists did a deal. The group (centrist or NFP) who led the first round, stay and the other desist. 210 seats were desisted by left-group to centrist. And 89 seats were disputed with 3 groups.

    ⚠️ I may be wrong. I can't find good data. ⚠️

    Why centrists/LR didn't desist ? If i recall well, it's because of LFI candidate that were part of the NFP. So, It favored RN and divantaged NFP. (But i need data to confront what i said)


    Futhermore, let's talk about the republic process. Î recommend you listening to Dominique Villepin (french, you can try subtitle translation), he is part of right wing and he understand well what is at stake, even for Gaza. In the video, he explains that we need to do thing in a certain order :

    1. Select a prime minister from the NFP group. They will have a hard time because their governement won't last.
    2. Then select a mixed governement from group that opposed to RN

    Why it is important to achieve this in this order ? Because it will give to the president more opportunity and appease people. And, the president Macron alway refused to chose a left wing minister.

    On my personal point of view, we should destroy president function and create a senate composed of people from various lifestyle. Not politicians. i want people : workers, dancers, waiters, deaf, blind, trans, woman, child, scientifics, cleaners, farmers, soldier, policeman...in the senate.

    Currently they don't represent us.

    Edit : typo + rewording for better understanding.

  • They forgot some fact :

    • Macron aways refused a left-wing prime minister. He refuse changing its politic and continue to destroy our public institution. Although left-wing was win with a narrow majority, the traditional process would be to accept the result and chose Lucie Castet as prime minister. Futhermore, it tooks him 2 months to choose a right prime minister. And he was exploiting grey area in the law to make its old ministers voting in the senate. Usualy, ministers cannot vote in the senate.
    • Macron repeatly selected the same staff that share lot ideas with the far-right movement.

    Lastly, Macron wanted the far-right movement to win the 2024 legislative. For me, the center doesn't exist, they aren't a middle ground between left and right. They are the architect of this chaos and accuse left-wing being a violent group...and many things. They should be tagged as far-center.

  • Ahah thank for the laugh :)

    For the inside story, jlai.lu has a zulip chat. We have a private channel called "petit animaux" (little animal). And inside, there is lot topics and some of them are play of words : "geeckos" (geek), "Meooow" (meme)... :)
