Hunches and gut feelings. Dreams in waking life.

I organize the Eurovision Song Contest, but exclusive to Lemmy, it’s called Lemmyvision !

Notre instance sera-t-elle soumise à la nouvelle loi d'interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans?

Français

Coucou tout le monde!

Petit post pour discuter ensemble des tenants et aboutissants de la loi adoptée par le Sénat et l’Assemblée Nationale hier, quelques liens pour celleux qui n’ont pas l’info:

Nos pouvoirs législatifs étant ce qu’ils sont, c’est évidemment très flou sur comment l’appliquer, qui est concerné, etc…

En fait je ne suis pas sûr que Lemmy en général sera impacté (de par sa nature décentralisée déjà, les utilisateurs peuvent s’inscrire sur une instance hébergée dans un pays qui ne reconnaît pas l’interdiction, et intéragir avec jlailu).

Il faut attendre les modalités d’application (Conseil d’État, CNIL?) pour en savoir plus, mais il est possible que, outre le fait que ça va être compliqué à mettre en oeuvre, nous passions également entre les mailles du filet selon la définition de réseaux sociaux par la loi (pas d’algorithme si c’est un critère, par exemple).

    PSA: The Tesseract frontend includes a hardcoded hidden instance blacklist with all leftist and trans-friendly instances.

    github.com Français

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/72685299

    I discovered this after upgrading our instance yesterday, which also upgraded all frontends to their latest versions as well. After I did, our Tesseract frontend stopped working and I noticed immediately as it’s been my primary for a while. Initially I thought it was an API version mismatch, but no, it was much worse.

    Someone pointed out that the developer of the frontend added an explicit hidden and unmodifiably blacklist which includes any and all instances to the left of Kissinger. There’s a commit which also explains their specious reasoning about our instance specifically, as it seems we’ve been on their shit list for a bit longer than that.

    This instance and its admin staff encourages identity politics, groupthink, mob mentality, and extremist solutions to societal problems. Users who advocate violence are not moderated so long as the admins agree with the target. Caution and critical thinking are advised when interacting with this instance or its users.

    When you use tesseract to connect to one blacklisted such instance , you just get a message informing you that Tesseract is “incompatible with that instance” which leads one to think of a technical issue, like an API mismatch, rather than the dev being an opinionated coward.

    Isn’t it funny how all the software developed by turbolibs, like Piefed and Tesseract, end up with hidden control mechanisms from developers who think they know better than everyone else? That they don’t just think they deserve to tell you what you should think, but they should manipulate you to think it? Isn’t it funny how libs go on about how bad it is to support lemmy due to the ideology of the devs behind it, and yet lemmy has 0 opinions as a software? It does make one think…

    Anyway, I forked - it as one does - and disabled the blacklist, but since this is a massively ideologically compromised software, I’ll doubt I’ll keep this frontend up after Lemmy 1.0. I think we’ll bring up mlmym again now that someone’s maintaining it again.

          Instance Lemmy.org à surveiller (défédération potentielle ?)

          Français

          L’instance slrpnk.net annonce, sur leur topic méta mensuel, le texte plus bas (en anglais), que je paraphrase :

          🔇 Defederation with Lemmy.org 🔕

          A Lemmy.ca admin has recently brought to our attention that Lemmy.org is actively being used as a platform for vote manipulation, likely due to their lax sign-up requirements. Unfortunately Lemmy.org’s admin has been unresponsive weeks after they were messaged about this issue.

          Due to the extra workload this places on admins to effectively prevent or moderate, Lemmy.ca has chosen to defederate from Lemmy.org. We have also chosen to defederate from Lemmy.org, at least until their admin returns and takes effective action against the issues raised.

          Lemmy.org is a small instance with only one active community, and it is unlikely this defederation will effect any of our users. You can check to see if you are subscribed to any of their communities via looking at the subscription list in your user profile settings.

          En tant qu’admin, du côté de jlai.lu j’ai pas remarqué ce genre de manipulation, et la plupart des comptes sur lesquel je prends des actions de modération viennent plutôt de lemmy.world ou sh.itjust.works (bonjour Dwazou…)

          À surveiller comment la situation évolue, je ne suis pas sûr qu’une défédération soit nécessaire, je n’ai pas l’impression qu’on soit ciblés, mais au moins on peut être vigilants
