My instance takes a very strict moderation stance to give our users a very tailored experience of the rest of the fediverse. We don’t allow any generative AI, any slurs, any authoritarian propaganda, or any ads for Elon’s website. We also believe mods and admins should be held to a higher standard than regular users, because with great power there must also come great responsibility.
Servers are fueled by renewables!
Right now: communick members get an account on Matrix, Mastodon and Funkwhale, where they can upload up to 250GB.
Coming soon ™:
- account at an ADAPT instance, with a custom client that can let people interact with any type of server.
- XMPP integration to integrate movim.
- Custom Voyager client to get read-only Reddit access.
Under consideration:
- Bridging with ATProto
piefed.social detects and labels LLM-generated posts, including the content of the link.
Like this one - https://piefed.social/c/selfhosted/p/1908035/onyx-self-hosted-messenger-with-lan-mode-and-e2ee-an-indie-project-story
Mods can manually detect AI comments too, like this:
In this case I chose to take no action (that guy probably won’t be back after posting his promo post anyway) but if they are persistent they get banned.
XMPP chat account integration.
That sounds interesting, is it actually integrated into the UI? Or a separate thing?
No, just the accounts are integrated, not the UI. It wouldn’t be a huge issue to add some basic webclient to the UI, but I don’t think anyone would use that when there are much better dedicated clients.
Our instance is off cloudflare. I don’t know much about the backend stuff but they are pretty transparent.
Lots of pictures of anime girls…
Some thing that I think should be more widely adopted (de facto mostly a list of features that Lemmy lacks relative to Piefed):
- Instance URL redirection; not only a Piefed thing, also done by Voyager
- Merged comments for the same post URL
- Post flair and to a lesser extent tags, Post flair is really helpful for if you manage a community
I was really surprised when I saw that flairs weren’t widely adopted yet. They’re super useful for community filtering.
Defederation with Threads should be a priority. They’ll attempt an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish tactic.
Only upside I can think of federating with Threads is to try to pull people into the wider fediverse, but indeed it’s a major risk that Facebook the company’s grip is stronger in case people don’t defederate.
