nutomic , 2 months ago to Free and Open Source Software in Bullying in Open Source Software Is a Massive Security Vulnerability

I dont have time to read all that. The problem with Beehaw is that the admins are extremely entitled, as if we had some obligation to work for them for free. Similar to what is described in OP.

However we are consistently improving the mod tools, and accept contributions in that area. You can see in the dev updates.

What is this "stance on mod features" that you are talking about?

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

Thanks for the support. I think the era of single, centralized sources of information will soon be in the past.

1. This would be a project on its own, with writing import scripts, hosting an instance etc. Certainly not something I have time for, just like I'm not running a Reddit mirror for Lemmy. If you or someone else wants to set it up, go ahead!
2. How would you detect that it's the same article, only from having the identical title? That could fail in lots of ways.
3. I agree about this.

Available Soon.

Dansup is well known for making grand announcements and delivering on them very late or never. I think it was more than two years ago that he announced federated groups for Pixelfed and still nothing. So I wouldn't get my hopes up yet.

Hold on the scammer could spend 8000 usd without even knowing the card's PIN number?

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

Maybe you can make some contributions to Ibis ;)

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

It can get a bit boring working on the same project for so many years. Having a different project gives me more motivation.

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

Thank you :)

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

Yes articles are duplicated in the same way posts are duplicated on Mastodon or Lemmy, so they wont go away. Moderation doesnt exist so far. There is a search field in the sidebar.

The link goes directly to Ibis where I posted the announcement.

The frontend is very primitive right now, but it could definitely be made to work without JS.

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

That is true but most developers are still on Github, which hasn't been affected by enshittification yet. I also have to keep using Github because of Lemmy, so I don't want to switch back and forth between two separate platforms.

However once Gitea starts federation we definitely want to migrate Lemmy to a selfhosted instance, and probably Ibis too.

I mean the drama about it is over. We are constantly working to improve mod tools but it takes time.

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

Sounds good, please share the announcement in relevant places.

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

Thank you!

nutomic OP , 2 months ago to Fediverse in Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

Right but that's already over. And anyway Ibis was mostly finished since some weeks, just needed some minor work to push it over the finishing line.
