Yes, there may be existing options - PieFed has an image view and I suspect the *key forks could be made to do something similar.

That seems like a plus to them.

Apparently, Pinetta is still active. There is an alpha release but it seems like the devs were struggling with time limitations and getting the AP protocol right. It is in Python if anyone wants to take a look.

Also on F-Droid.

Yes.

I’ve just asked. There is a FOSS but not federated version.

But it is largely human-curated and indexed. That’s great for training AI, like Reddit.

We just added it as the old frontend was getting hammered by bots - it helped a lot.

There are lists of bots that instance Admins can block for a range of reasons.

Anything online can be scraped but big firms might run into regulatory trouble if they are caught randomly scraping sites without consent. At the moment, the big social media apps have a tonne of content to train on in tightly controlled conditions, so they don’t really need to go into the wild, yet. However, we need to be vigilant, block them and make a fuss if we catch them at it.

That’s the bit that made me laugh: “nothing to see here, we’ve been doing this for a while. What, you didn’t know? Not our fault you are unobservant.”

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this started happening at Lemmy too.

You missed the Vegan Cat Food Wars then.

“We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide,” according to the main post. Reddit “may consider” expanding the warnings in the future to cover repeated upvotes of other kinds of actions as well as taking other types of actions in addition to warnings.

Thoughtcrime time.

Bigger picture - what if Xitter, Meta and Reddit (all run by Trump humpers) started centrally compiling this kind of thing to flag up “persons of interest”?

I was mostly referring to the fact that the day Bluesky decides to ban bridges, ATProto won’t be part the Fediverse as per the definition of the comment above.

It will, Friendica uses the BS API.

Got it: https://buddyverse.one/

Good luck.

A bit like the secret Greenland Army hiding under the ice until the day they are needed.

https://lemuria.es/ still seems to be running a Lemmy instance, so there is hope. 🤞

@Blaze@feddit.org @Sunshine@lemmy.ca did I miss any?

https://lemuria.es/ still has a Lemmy instance running, if any Spaniards are enthusatic, they could try emailing the @admin, @contact, etc addresses and see if the owner will transfer it over to you. I’m sure we can rummage up enough help to get it back up and running if you get control.
