found counter.social last year and just re-logged into my account after a little over a year since making it.. what are people’s thoughts?
it’s strange that it’s defederated from the fediverse, although seems like it’s not their fault?

for the past week i’ve been playing with a TON of camera apps, #Zerocam, stock camera app, !Camera, and my #Canon PowerShot camera… not sure what people are mainly using nowadays. I’ve subscribed to darkroom too, and you can get the pics looking nicer out of that, but any advice??

Instantly take back what I mentioned in my previous post - it seemed to work well IN the Ollama CLI, but in any other app it’s just causing huge increases in swap RAM usage then taking ages to load….
not sure what Google meant by this working on 2GB of RAM… lol

This is the best result after trying Night Mode on #ProjectIndigo (free app by Adobe - at least currently free.)
Weird that some people say it’s got a great night mode.. I guess it works better on the Pro cameras due to the sensor.

interesting -- on #atrpoto, you can see all of the accounts that are being labelled by any 1 labeller on any tool (but PDSLS is the best one by far - has a lot of features).
for example, in turkey, you can see the censored accounts/posts here: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:cquoj7aozvmkud2gifeinkda/labels
to see others, just find the #bluesky moderation account for that country, get the account's DID (decentralised identity) and pop it into that URL on pdsls.
for those that don't know, quick notes on labellers:
-can be setup by anyone
--> e.g. there's a "XBlock" service which lets you hide posts with screenshots from particular social networks (Reddit, Twitter, Insta, etc..) in case you're sick of seeing them all over your itmeline
-bluesky collects your general location (VIA IP, NOT GPS) to know what labels to apply automatically
-on the official bluesky app you're automatically subbed to their one (but you can fine grain the non-regional one)
-any third party app can just avoid these labellers, so someone in turkey right now (or any place that is under censorship) could use a tool like https://deer.social

How does the “right to be forgotten” sort of thing work on #nostr? Anyone thought of that? In a good way and a bad way it seems like everything here is up forever — thousands of servers around the globe receiving your little posts, temperamental deletes, no way to delete your account (?) etc..

ah interesting
no, i'm fairly sure they don't do complete blocks like that at the protocol level unless it's spam that's like a DDoS level (although not sure what counts as that)
yeah they def won't get too technical for them, if the Turkish gov find out it's still technically up, who knows what will happen lol
also, I wasn't a user of Twitter from the early days to ~2021 (it fascinates me, but let's just say twitter is older than me!) - but how did Twitter do this with 3rd party apps at the time? i never used them (since elon killed them since), but i assume Twitter could only shadowban specific users in the official app, since otherwise it's just API calls? unless a full account take down ofc

2025-04-16 23:52:50 UTC

- reply

yeah i suppose, but there's other difficult parts of nostr that make it unfriendly for the users (the keys being one main thing.. most people probably don't even use a password manager for passwords, if they don't do that, they won't keep a private key lol)
oh yeah that's the thing. some people have actually made small ones on their own RPis! but none that'll be at scale (although if you can host a small one for you and close friends, maybe that'll be the way to go? there'd have to be a ton of them though.)
and yeah that's the thing, bluesky *technically* have control over that. i'm not sure they ban them from the PDS though. i think that DID profile is just banned from accessing the bluesky service, but they can still use other atproto apps -- theoretically someone could make a "free speech bluesky" which caches all bluesky posts in a relay + whatever lexicon this new theoretical site would use, but again you're then relying on that person to not take gov censorship requests in
moderation/t&s is a really difficult thing on socials. you OBVIOUSLY don't want the AWFUL side of things like csam, irl violence, abuse, etc.. but then there's random censroship requests like this one.. and there seems to be no good way to do this (nostr won't be great for the bad things i just mentioned before..)

3rd party clients would be able to get around this easily, but how did this work in twitter days? (I only joined Twitter in 2022, shortly after 3p clients were killed by Elon)
right now anyone can setup a Bluesky AppView or Relay, and connect it to their own apps which would bypass all of this, it's just that no other major players have so pretty much 99% of users will rely on Bluesky's ones
def an issue though, but it should sprout some other people spinning up their own atproto infra i hope 🤞

2025-04-16 23:18:45 UTC

- reply

yeah, since their moderation is just a labeller that you can seemingly opt out of (although the official app collects your location to know what labels to apply) it's def interesting
anyone could fork the app, or build their own client which juts doesn't listen to this.. but then i wonder if they're gonna lead to removing posts/accounts from their AppView level? i think they have that type of control.
i hope they really do get cheaper AppViews/Relays working so people can actually host them themselves, becoming more and more important
