I have just added code which makes the instance vote weight visible in the UI - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/04b54e25f44f54420c247152323c90c4a3360a02
You can go to https://piefed.social/instances and check the vote weight of any instance. It’ll be very boring tho because they’re all set to “Votes are weighted at the normal level.” Yes, even lemmy.ml.
Fair enough. I always appreciate your help with handling these kinds of questions, it’s getting waay too much for one person!
Score is not just upvotes minus downvotes.
The first 10 votes increase the score by much more than usual. Then the 20 after that are still worth more but not quite as much. Then the next 30 are worth only a little more than usual. After that 1 vote increases the score by 1. Lemmy does something like this too although they might be showing a simple upvote - downvote = score in their API.
The upshot of this is the ‘Hot’ sort surfaces new content quicker, resulting in a more interesting timeline.
The degree of early-vote amplification can be tuned by the instance admin but I have had zero questions about how to do this so I doubt anyone has played with it.
Not really anything serious.
By poking around https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list I found two (and only two) with open sign ups that do not say “demo and testing instance”:

It’s kinda amazing to me how they convinced so many people to give them money when that is all they have. I guess people want to have hope.
The story was invented so people would subscribe to his substack, which exists to promote his company.
We’re being manipulated into sharing made-up rage-bait in order to put money in his pocket.
The answer to that is literally in the first sentence of the body of the article I linked to.
GPTZero is 99% accurate.
https://gptzero.me/ is free, give it a try. Generate some slop in ChatGPT and copy and paste it in.
I’ve tested lots and lots of different ones. GPTZero is really good.
If you read the article again, with a critical perspective, I think it will be obvious.
FYI this article is written with a LLM.
Don’t believe a story just because it confirms your view!
Yup and I noticed they’ve been saving their good jets for a rainy day too. Lost a few of the 1980s ones but none of the latest generation.
These two new features have complete API support so I’m hoping the client apps get on board with these quicker than they have been able to in the past.

So you’re saying Lemmy should show the country of accounts too?
Coding a carddav export / import would be easy. But realistically every platform will need to just use whatever format Mastodon uses.
And then there’s the question of what would importing fedi contacts into an address book app actually do - most contacts apps would merge contacts based on email address or phone number, neither of which are available in a federated situation. If the app merged based on name that wouldn’t work great either because few people use their full/real name on fedi.
Well said.
I’m mindblown that serious career/business people still post on X. Don’t they see the brand damage they’re causing to their company and themselves?
Thank you Eugen, for everything.
Close. The retaliation was faked, tho.
