Padme: "for just you, right?"

Anakin:

Oh, so if Timmy is a Lemmy user and blocks Me, and I reply to Timmy's posts on piefed.social, piefed.social deletes My comments?

Yes, and for other piefed instances. It is due to underlying differences in how rimu interprets how blocking should work vs. Lemmy

At least in our case we're divided about 50/50 between Lemmy and PieFed. I could force people to PieFed by deleting Lemmy, but that wouldn't be nice 😀

Private federation would be incredible but I've already heard you say it would be a large amount of work, so I'm not holding my breath!

That's awesome! That means Piefed users can't follow a person around putting the same reply under all their posts. I wrote about that problem on My blog!

I don't have enough background to understand what putting darvo would mean under posts but since its reportable I would assume its bad. I don't see how they could do this though because by blocking someone they would not be able to see their post or replies to put a reply under.

DARVO stands for Deny, Attack, Reverse/Redirect Victim and Offender.

For example let's say your newest kitten isn't turning out to be as pliable as you'd hoped, and they're getting close to realising that your treatment of them has been less than consensual. If they tell the community, you're in trouble. But if you simply lie to everyone and say they pressured you into sex, and tell everyone not to listen to their side of the story, your reputation is safe and you'll get lots of sympathy. First to speak is usually believed. And if kitten tries to tell the truth, you can simply accuse them of DARVO. The sapphic community doesn't tend to verify claims of abuse in any way, so this stuff is rampant.

And on Twitter, there's a button you can press to view posts by someone you blocked. It won't show up in your feed, but you can go to their profile. If they haven't blocked you, you can spray your DARVO all over the place and they won't even notice.

I don't know if they patched that out since then, but it doesn't matter. You can unblock someone for five minutes, say your harassment, and then block them again. The only technical solution is to put time limits on reblocking someone after your unblock them. But a lot of people don't wanna do that, and I understand why.

In /admin/communities, the far right column has an Edit link. That is where you have some additional settings, including checkboxes that can include/exclude communities from your instance's Popular and All views. You want to make sure that both of these are checked (they are down below the language settings):

Welcome!

For really, really poor internet connections, http can be a lot more performant because it has a lot less handshaking that needs to happen. This kind of use case is something rimu cares a lot about since he has previously had to deal with super awful internet connections in the past. It is a very specific use case and outside of that kind of case, it wouldn't be recommended. You can see that both http and https versions of the site can coexist, so it is an option for those that need it.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks!

if they did the unblock block thing you would get a notification (in the federation) and could still report it. Honestly it would be sorta a double report as you can point out they are abusing the blocking feature. I certainly don't think blocking should effect notification which is point in time. It should theoretically be impossible to respond to something and notification not going out. Even when someone deletes their comment I have the notification. Which I have come across.

Hopefully on Piefed, but not on Twitter. I wouldn't chance it.

Ah ok. I thought this was around piefed or better yet the federation doing it and you where just using twitter as an example why it could never work. Yeah it is definately something which if done has to be done right.

I don't think we should risk the chance of doing it wrong on Piefed. We should stay away from that feature.

Thanks! That fixed it for our piefed.ca/c/main community. The lemmy.ca/c/main community's post still doesn't show up, but we can plan our announcements to get around that in the meantime

It's so LGR can load a website other than google on Windows 9x /jk

Even logged in and with filters so that the post is visible, I don't see the post in the piefed community as pinned. Could it have been unpinned when you did your db reload?

If it is pinned on your side, then it must be a bug of some kind.

I mean I get you but the only reason it would be done wrong is if it was intentionally done that way. I mean the system already does notifications and as I said I have gotten them for deleted posts. They don't go away. The devs would practically have to intentionally have it not work that way. I really don't think its a risk at all. Also once something is done its not impossible to undue. The federation and in particular piefed devs are pretty earnest individuals and its not like a coporate system where managment would bury their heads and dig their heels on something bad. There is also no incetive to keep something that does not work out well for some sort of financial gain.

Welcome!

Oh we actually unpinned the main@piefed.ca post after I confirmed it was working and made that comment. It's the other one from main@lemmy.ca that is still pinned, but doesn't show up for users that aren't logged in

Ok, it seems to be working now then. Let us know if you continue to see weirdness with the pinned posts.

Oh so it is, I wasn't seeing it yesterday when I checked. Perhaps unpinning and re-pinning, or removing and re-allowing the ability to show on popular fixed it and I didn't notice it.

Nonetheless, thank you for all the help!

given the terrible signal in my works toilets this is a very welcome development

i wish we had a live chat to the side
