Our instance trusts us because they can initiate a a recall vote against any admin at any time.

[–] db0 19 points 4 months ago

Because copyrights are a form of enclosure and they are there to benefit the rich. It's part of the hellscape and their primary purpose is to introduce artificial scarcity so that human culture can be monetized for their benefit.

We're anarchists. We absolutely demand to be held at the same standard as everyone else.

It seems to me that if you go to a community and are rude about the memes being shared you should be able to take some rudeness back.

Hey y'all, dbzer0 admin there. We're not anti Genai as a technology in general but we're absolutely anti-corporate genai. I believe the only valid way to use genai is if all weights are open source and all output is in the commons. I generally hate the current techbro Ai bubble and we have no stake in it. However I will defend proles using genai for their own entertainment as much as I will defend proles using piracy likewise. We think the world is would be better without copyrights. AMA.

[–] db0 -1 points 4 months ago

Nonsense. If people used genai the way we suggest in dbzer0, AI techbros would be in ruins. We're also generally in the same camp as those people you mention (even though they're still libs) but we still have disagreements since, well, we're not libs and don't think there's any merit to things like copyrights.

Don't violate the disengage rule.

[–] db0 12 points 4 months ago

Blatantly ignoring disengage while also making absolutely unfounded and ridiculous claims. Absolutely shameful.

You are attempting to abuse the disengage rule. If you want to disengage, you're not supposed to also try to put the last word in. Just disengage without arguing further.

[–] db0 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Thanks we fixed but I'm researching the root cause.

EDIT: OK found the bug and fixed.

Just a look at the photo of the deer was enough to nope out of seeing more

Hmm, process must have crashed. Lemme restart it.

Edit: Crash found and underlying cause fixed

Just FYI, the /whitelist api now has pagination, so if you're consuming this with automated tools, please make sure you take it into account.

I will also soon be adding pagination to censures, endorsements and hesitations, it will follow the same format, so make sure you are prepared to handle it as well.

Informing in advance so that your tools don't break,

Two days ago, I deployed the official wiki for lemmy.dbzer0.com. It's using django-wiki as a software, which other than being markdown-based and therefore helping lemmings easily migrate documentation over, provides python hooks for doing some really cool stuff.

For example my current version is tied to my lemmy instance. This means that while everyone can read the wiki, only registered users of my instance can edit articles. This helps prevents the usual problem of open wikis, which is drive-by spam articles, and ensures that only people with interest in the wiki can use it.

I plan to extend this integration in the future. I am thinking things like minimum account age to edit all or some pages, profile pages which enable even tighter integrations, being able to specify "trusted instances" which would allow edits from their users as well, and so on.

But that's not all, the same approach I used, can also be used to integrate with any fediverse software, like mastodon. This means each instance could theoretically have its own wiki to extend the information adjacent to it.

I'll soon (I hope) will provide an ansible playbook that anyone can use to deploy it which will also provide my custom code to integrate with lemmy.

The fediseer now allows instance admins to self-tag their instance as they want. Those tags can then be consumed via the API.

For example, one could use these tags to discover all instances focusing one or more topics at the same time. Places like pangora.social can use them to find more instances to suggest in their lists.

On the flip side, instance admins can also use them to help improve their blocklists in a "positive" manner. For example, let's say that you want your instance to be SFW, you could explicitly block any instance self reporting as "porn" or "gore" etc. Along with the endorsements and hesitations, this would provide a lot of tools to ensure you associate only with the people you fit well.

You can add or delete tags in the GUI or directly via the API as an instance admin

The new tags_csv arg on the /whitelist endpoint, will also return all instances which match any of the tags in your csv.

Let us know what you think and remember you can support the fediseer development on liberapay. Alternatively you can also sponsor the individual developers on github: db0 | rikudou

I am excited to announce that I have just finished deploying a new wiki service tied to lemmy.dbzer0.com.

https://wiki.dbzer0.com (Ignore the certificate errors for now, it some leftovers from the downtime yesterday. Will be fixed soon)

The most cool part of this setup, is that while anyone can read, only users who have an account in lemmy.dbzer0.com can edit. This should nicely prevent spammers from causing issues, and can help us tie edits to accounts here. if your account gets banned in lemmy.dbzer0.com, you also lose access to edit the wiki as well!

To manage that, you simply need to register an account on the wiki, then write that account on your bio here. The frontpage of the wiki provides the relevant instructions.

So if you needed a place to add official pages about your community with info, now you have the place!

Looking for Mods (self.adhd)

It seems randos from all over threadiverse can't help themselves from violating the one and only rule we have in this community. I just had to ban 3 of them from the same thread .

So we need more people who can help deal with these smoothbrains. Who wants to be a mod? You have to enthusiastically agree with the rules of this server and be happy to apply the "no party pooping" rule. Feel free to also come up with other ways to make ADHD meme better.

For now @[email protected] is going to be helping me with some interim mod duties until we find someone else.

But how? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

New update just dropped with some cool new features.

More Fediverse Software

The Fediseer API knowledge has been expanded to handle better some more fediverse software. Specifically it will now try to discover misskey admins, and it can better go through the firefish and mastodon API.

Uptime and Refresh

The Fediseer will now periodically (twice per day) attempt to refresh the info from instances it knows about. It will just check the node and instance info APIs for the relevant info and update its database in case it's out of date. This will allow us, say, to know when an instance who used to have completely open registrations without captcha, switched to better control registrations.

This process will also be used to mark instances being down. Any instance with 1-2 consecutive failures, will be marked as "unreachable". 3-60 will mark it as "offline" and any more will mark it a decommissioned. In the future I plan to handle decommissioned instances differently.

User Registration info

To help with figuring out if an instance is a good candidate for a guarantee, we now report more fields relevant to making this decisions, for example whether that instance requires application approval or if they're using a captcha

Also ,gentle reminder to also now and then check the solicitations page to see if any new instances is asking for a guarantee! If you see anyone you can verify is not a spam instance, place guarantee for them!

Funding

Finally, I want to mention that we've opened a liberapay funding for the fediseer development. If you think this tool is helping you work as fediverse instance administrators, please do consider sponsoring our infrastructure and further development:
