Magazine bans not federating with lemmy.world (and potentially others) (kbin.social)

I've just discovered that lemmy.world (and potentially other) users I've banned from my magazine are still able to comment, comments I can't see on kbin but that do show up on lemmy.world....

From what I've heard another big issue is that moderation actions don't get federated to lemmy anyway. Beehaw was considering (or did it already) blocking Kbin domains because for example, posts deleted by moderators here don't get deleted on the lemmy instance. So even if you do moderate it's not applied to federated instances 🙁

Threads' New Terms & Conditions Affects the Fediverse (wedistribute.org)

Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

I think the implication is that threads/meta is going to use it for different purposes than your average fediverse application/server owner would.

However, it is kind of a silly argument to bring up in the context of fediverse since everything you share publicly online is, well... public info from that point onwards - even more so in the fediverse that by design sends and stores it to countless other, privately owned and maintained, servers beyond your control. This comment is public and any other individual or company can get it whether they do it through activity pub or by just scraping it off any of existing (or their privately owned) instance.

The real risk threads poses is competition and taking away content creators from mastodon, indirectly pushing everyone else under the facebook's corporate umbrella again. I want FOSS to take over but if there's nobody actually using it and everyone is still creating content elsewhere then there's few reasons to stay.

Question about reliability of kbin federation (kbin.social)

I dunno if you've noticed but federation between kbin and lemmy is shaky at best. By doing even a quick comparison between some original instances and their kbin pages, it is easy to see that comments and sometimes entire threads do not get synced and are practically invisible to the other side....
