What is one thing you wish was on the Fediverse?

cm0002 is the worst with this..I’ve blocked like five or six of their accounts but another one just pops up in my feed the next day. It’s so annoying and makes the threadiverse seem like it’s full of spam.

I know I do this I’m open to suggestions on how to ensure things go to the correct places but arnt “spamming”.

I could try to crosspost less.

There are some softwares that offer it, I know Friendica has regex-based filtering. Idk I’d any of the lemmy-likes do, though

I recently moved from Reddit almost entirety and even in this short time it feels like it’s getting more crowded. The fedivers will rule them all.

End-to-end encryption for DMs

I mean, you can use GPG.

An LI alternative wouldn’t be super helpful, you would need mainstream and companies to want to use it, and any open alternative would fail to meet that goal. The wants of the employee and the wants of the employer don’t mix, thats why LinkedIn looks so bad to the employee. It’s not meant to be for the employee, its meant to be for the employer. If it was the other way around the employers wouldn’t use it.

I feel like a bunch of trolls would abuse account migration tools by instance hopping before they get banned.

username changing

It is technically possible, it is just extremely difficult, you’ll need an admin to do it for you (many won’t know how, and many will be unwilling), and it will 100% cause problems down the line. I wish it wasn’t too, though, I usually change my online name every few years, and having to restart is a little annoying.

Account migration

It’s possible on most fedi platforms, seems Lemmy doesn’t offer it though. Not surprising, given it’s not really the same kind of platform as the broader fediverse is.

More cross-talk would be a good way to make lemmy seem more active, too (which would address a common complaint that people have about lemmy, ie that its not active enough) because there is comparatively more activity on mastodon

I actually think that would really help for a lot of people

Why wouldn’t you just use mbin?

“You have been defederated by trump.social

Please submit to the nearest ICE Re-Education/Deportation camp for processing, be prepared to learn the El Salavdorian Language”

“You have been defederated by chairmanxi.ccp

Please write ’NOTHING HAPPENED ON JUNE 4 1989 IN TIANANMEN SQUARE’ 1,000,000 times during your stay at Laogai”

“Your instance has been defenestrated by putin.kremlin

Suck on the Polonium, сука блять!”

Governments will always use products that make oligarchs richer because they are owned by the oligarchs.

Piefed already has an extensive feed system for this btw

I feel like I stand out so much lmao.

I am a American citizen but I’m was born in China and I feel like my anecdotes just stand out so much lol… like remember being in a US classroom and I was the only Asian there… that’s how I kinda feel like… The only other ethnic Chinese here are like 2 HongKongers and like 1 Mainlander in Europe and like 1 Taiwanese

The Asian Diaspora comm has like checks notes yea it’s in the single digits… like 3 members of the diaspora I think. (shameless promo: !theasiandiaspora@piefed.social)

As for spirituality… sometimes I mention the idea of reincarnation as a hypothetical and feel like some atheist is gonna be like “ur stupid”

I mean I’m not gonna wait for help if there’s a flood, not gonna be that guy that “waits for god to save him”, but I still think about reincarnation a lot… it’s kinda just part of the philosophy of the environment/culture I grew up in… its like I grew up with a weird mix of Chinese culture stuff at home… (like… as a kid I used to watch a lot of Cantonese and Mandarin tv shows…), then also the western (American, to be specific) stuff outside of home and on the internet.

But I’m so glad the fediverse doen’t have the bullshit like “Omg u don’t have enough karma / your account too new / we find your account doesn’t meet our requirements, your post has been automatically removed”

As a Romanian, I’m doing my part!

I 100% agree here, it feels like a microcosm of Reddit which already leans quite left, but even more radical. I left numerous times on the fediverse due to it’s huge political echo chamber, it’s something really frustrating as the platform is meant to be for everyone but it seems to be mostly populated by one viewpoint and nearly always Americans or Europeans.

Most mainstream platforms do have these sorts of demographics and politics yes, but even they have quite sizeable communities for ethnic, political and religious minorities where they can have their own space. The fediverse doesn’t really have that and it kinda sucks.

I really feel you with the lack of religious talk here, Reddit has tons of it for every major rellgion out there, and Lemmy has.. nothing? As a Indian Muslim on here, I’d like to have a space to talk about my beliefs with others, but the Islamic communities on here are all ghost towns. Reddit on the other hand, is very populated with Muslims and has discussions daily on those sub reddits.

Gonna have to agree on which genocides count first.
