I’m not happy to have software falsify my actions and I in no way consent to it doing so.
There is no falsification if implemented correctly. Every comment and post that you submit is an activity. All that the "community migration" should be doing is to take these activities and re-Announce them, so it should look like a repost on Lemmy.
If the migration feature however takes the content from the imported community and creates new activities out of the comments, then yes, it will be shady.
The annoying thing about it is that their implementation is completely "top-down". They just defined what is their idea of "Flair" (text/color settings) and have this stored in their database. It is completely disconnected from any of ActivityStreams or LinkedData concepts. If they had gone with a "protocol-first" approach, they could've proposed to use as:Tag or even Schema.org PropertyValue entries, attach them to the object (actor/questio/post/note) and it would be absolutely easy to federate.
PieFed has the tendency to add features that are are not compatible with ActivityPub in general (flairs, multi-communities) and I am not convinced it is ready to have a large influx of activity. It's one thing to have a server with lots of users receiving notifications, it's another to have the same server also responsible in sending a large number of notifications whenever it needs to announce a new comment or post.
Communick aligns 100% with sunaurus's views regarding defederation. I've put a special offer for those who want to try it: https://lemm.ee/post/65961634
But if you mean only the implementation, you could very well be correct, knowing so much more than I about such.
Yeah, that's what I mean. I've written a series of blog posts about it.
You'd be quite welcome on !football@soccer.forum. The instance has been running almost two years already, it is an instance exclusively for football communities and I can potentially customize it if you come up with any reasonable idea, a matchthreader bot? Integration with a Matrix room? All possible.
I didn't even see that...
Should I add an entry for metacritics or should you?
The following communities have already an alternative on instances that I run:
All these instances have been running for close to two years and are part of the "topic-specific" network of servers that I set up to help during the migration.
Just to clarify: what would you say if someone followed your Lemmy account from mastodon and Boosted (Retweeted) all of your posts and comments?
