1. Doesn’t change the fact that people are used to their votes not being seen by other users
2. Don’t know what that has to do with me saying that more people vote than post
3. of course it is easier with always the same one bit information as it is for something that can be one word or 50k words that are basically never the same. Plus the fact that people want the things they post to be seen, but not necessarily their votes

The main reasons for me:

1. People are not used to votes being public, because (afaik) it was just not this way on “traditional” social media (there only the operators might have had access)
2. Votes being public affects far more users than posts, because only a small subgroup of all users actually post anything
3. Votes being private is (imo) much more achievable, as they contain the same message each time either “I like” or “I dislike”, more information than that is not conveyable in up- and down-vote-buttons

My concern is that this goes against the implicit assumption that the group actor (the community/magazine/category) is the source of truth.

The group actor is the clearinghouse of data in 1b12 style federation, and it would be a departure to change votes to only be sent to the target.

That is true. It could of course be changed to send it to only the group instead of the author 🤔

Also this goes directly against @rimu@piefed.social 's vote batching proposal.

Can you link me to it. Seems that I missed that

My problem is not saying it to the person itself, my problem is that you can build a rekatively detailed personality profile based on the things someone likes. My proposal was that everything goes to the author and the author alone

If you have malicious software, then nothing. Nothing prevents malicious software to invent users who create like activities either… So in my opinion nothing changes about that

I use it daily and I love it :)

https://myminifactory.com/ is the only one I know 🤔 The trench crusade guys use it. Thats how I know it

Yeah, that’s what I expected. I just don’t so I didn’t consider it…

I honestly didn’t expect that there needed to be a setting for this… But I mainly/only use the “sub” feed, and if you don’t want microblogs there, just don’t follow people posting them 😅

Maybe, but definitely not more lax 😅

Honestly as sad as it sounds I just think that they continue to treat huge corporations differently than individuals…

@Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com @fediverse@lemmy.world @mkmusic@torishiro.com @melroy@kbin.melroy.org Yes we support basically everything mentioned here. Peertube videos, Lemmy posts and Mastodon / Misskey, etc. (called mircoblogs in the UI) On the microblog side mbin still has a long way to go to be perfect, right know you just know that it is not the primary focus.

Mbin is written in php together with the smyfony framework. We always welcome new devs and I’ll do my best to answer any questions that will arise :)

After thinking about it I think this has actually nothing to do with Firefox (yet), but with the ad platform they bought. Might absolutely end up in Firefox in some way, but this blog post is not about that…

Why do they continue to want to shove ads down their users throat? I use FF so uBlock Origin works and can block everything that annoys me…

I used to use OnlyOffice, but switched to Nextcloud office because I like the UI and the documentserver better. Easier administering and the official solution

I fullheartedly agree… My mbin servers have been targeted multiple times by stupid AI scraper bots and even google didn’t adhere to the request limit set in the robots.txt…

Ok so exactly how mbin spots cross posts at the moment. But combining the comment sections is a cool idea. Obviously requires your server to be subscribed to the different communities, but still cool 👍

What happens when three different users post libks to the same article? Or when the test is different? Basically how do you match these posts?

Here in Germany, a non-profit is not allowed to do any profit

That is just not true… You are not allowed to pay your profits to anyone, but investing it or building reserves is absolutely permitted and a really important thing to do especially if you’re dependent on donations…

So, now, I am not willing to give them any more slag. They have to change

I agree, but that will never make me use Chrome or any Chromium based browser. Like probably a lot of people here I do not use vanilla Firefox, but rather LibreWolf and the like

The company itself is not for profit. The CEO gets payed way too much, but a for-profit company would return money to the owners (mostly shareholders/investors), which Mozilla is not
