  • Frankly, I think someone should actually do that. Except maybe use open source AI instead of ChatGPT.

    The fact is, in a federated setting all this data will be accessible. For example, if lemmy tried to hide who made each vote, and just federate totals, that would allow my malicious instance to report 1M upvotes for my post.

    When lemmy tries to hide this data, all this does is instill a false sense of privacy with users. IMHO the best thing is to make all this de facto public data, officially public, so everyone knows and can act accordingly.

    As for privacy, I’d say the best thing to do is, keep your account anonymous.


  • I, personally, want things to be decentralized. I want to have 100+ technology communities that are all relevant. But for that to be practical, there needs to be a simple mechanism for people to follow the topic “technology”, and get the content of all these 100+ communities merged together (then perhaps manually block some of them that have bad moderation). Unless we have such mechanism, we’ll end up with one main big technology community, and all others will be secondary.


  • I’m hoping for two features: Let communities “follow” other communities - so one community’s content also shows up on the other. And let me group communities together on my personal feed, if they don’t want to follow each other for some reason. For now, I stay mostly on the home page, which aggregates everything - but I’d much prefer to be able to browse by topic and still have some aggregation.
