  • Adding posts with no alt text to a predefined category or tag (such as Mastodon’s #Alt4Me) sounds like a reasonable alternative.

    Yrs you are right. :)

    No CCP style shit please, we already have enough of that with Piefed

    I don’t see why we should support content without alt text. There is people with various disability

    I’m offering to void the post visibility :

    • the post won’t receive upvote, so it won’t reach the top of your timeline
    • user won’t be able to crosspost them.

    I’m deaf and i think we should all do an effort to make the web accessible. Everyday, i have to adapt to your world.

    People can give a small fraction of their time to improve accessibility. But you are right it maybe too harsh, we should find a middle ground that invite users making the web a place place rather punishing.


    long text on piefed score

    There is pro and cons using lemmy or piefed. Both have a different stance on moderation and offer a different experience.

    Lemmy doesn’t check downvote or user with bad reputation. How are you able to act with toxic users ? For example one downvoting a lot and the other one that post terrible thing thus get lot downvote ? Is this good for your community ? I don’t think you will enjoy interacting with them.

    Piefed score was requested by most admins and mods. It help us creating good community, our main job is creating a place where people enjoy sharing their experience. There are 2 scores :

    • attitude : it calculate the ratio of downvote/upvote. How do you react when people have lot negativity ? Most of us are around 70%. If you downvote a lot, it’s not a good behaviour. There are few users or bots that downvote a lot. their attitude score is around 20% something like that. It removes the ability to downvote until you upvote and reach a threshold. So it invite user to use other tools (filter) to improve their timeline instead of voting. It is low.
    • reputation : that’s the upvote you receive. Posting meme don’t boost your reputation. Why ? Because of karma farming. Let’s say i post terrible things, and i receive lot downvote. Meanwhile, i post fun meme and get lot upvotes…

    So it just give us a general idea on users and improve community ambiance.

    Futhermore, you can’t just take the scoring system alone. Those features work together :

    • mods can remove downvote per community. I removed them in my communities.
    • filters : you can filter keywords, communities, instances and users.
    • report. It is more efficient, i prefer it over the automod that work well.

    A simple one, i believe that softwares must enforce them rather letting users doing it.

    Here is some ideas :

    • refuse “image post” without alt text.
    • when you upload picture, you must provide their alt text, if there is no alt text, the picture will be deleted.
    • hide user post based on alt text and remove post score if the alt text is bad.
    • deactivate crosspost on posts who don’t have alt text

    It maybe harsh but i believe that’s the only way to reach accessibility.

    Edit :

    • alt text autogen + a reminder bot will help users
    • The app fedilab (mastodon) has some good rules on post with alt text.
    • collaborative alt text.




  • (PieFed also has a feature called ‘Topics’, which aggregates posts from multiple communities into a single feed around a single theme, making jurisdiction a truly joyful mess: a single post can be made by someone on server A, posted into a community hosted on server B, and then aggregated into a Topic hosted on server C. What happens when rules between servers A, B and C conflict is anyone’s guess.)

    Well, i think they don’t understand what is a topic (multicommunity) or how we handle the moderation part. 🤔

    We moderate per community and its own instance first. So we don’t moderate post outside our instance unless we receive recuring repport. It’s the same for Lemmy, Mbin otherwise, we will have to track every users posts and comments.

    And if a post in a community that appear in our topic contrevene our instance’s rule, we delete the post or remove the community from topic.

    It may be complicated the first time you moderate but it’s easy once you understand.













  • Nit really. We talked several time about inclusive language in french without reaching a conclusion since several montha

    The main goal is to invite news users to contribute together and form some team and works together. To create some teamwork, collective.

    It is not intended to remplace it’s current development but help us to advance on several topic as translation, communication, small bug.

    I saw a hackathon for yeswiki and it worked quite great. Devs who usually worked far aways in various countries meet each other IRL, talked about their daily life, then discussed about their project, technological choice then coded during the whole week-end.

    Honnestly, i think it is great way to know each other, have fun. As long you don’t put an absurd deadline.
