Tesseract is great!

The downvotes are all coming from accounts on other instances, which as @[email protected] suggested, makes us think it’s most likely people browsing “All” and not appreciating seeing twenty discussion posts (not that that justifies it).

I don’t want to be a mod here anymore 😭

Should be fixed now. Try it again (clear your cache first).

Ugh thanks for letting me know, does it happen every time you click it? And would you say the problem has been less frequent overall?

I think I might have fixed it, let me know if you encounter it again.

Any slowness should be gone by now, I haven’t seen the JSON thing happen to me yet, but I’ll look into it. Next time it happens to you can you DM me a screenshot?

Things may be uh- crispy for a few hours while we get re-Federated and all the other instances whallop us with traffic. It should pass within a day.

I’ve also just put up an announcement in /c/Quark’s

True, but if Meta (or anyone) wanted to “directly” get that data, it would be as trivial as setting up an instance on something as small as a Raspberry Pi and subscribing to a community here. We would have no way of knowing who it is or stopping them. Defederation is a tool to prevent brigading, not lurking.

If (if) Meta wanted to set a lemmy-style platform, preemptively defederating from it would be a largely symbolic gesture. Doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing, like I said we’ll cross that bridge if and when it becomes relevant.

The “user data” (comments, posts, votes, etc) that would be available to a hypothetical instance owned my Meta is already public for anyone, so not much we have control over there. “Defederating” essentially just means “blanket banning” a bunch of users at once.

We’re aware of the pact and will cross that bridge when (or if) it ever really happens. We’re certainly no fans of Meta (or Reddit,or Twitter). So far it seems more likely to affect Mastodon than Lemmy/Kbin.
