That’s really cool, but massive servers are antithetical to the intended structure of the fediverse.
Ideally, what we should be seeing is the growth of multiple smaller communities rather than a very large one. Each community can deal with moderation in the more manageable way at least that’s my expectation
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @fediversity we fully agree. There is a threshold and balance to getting things going and general acceptance.
We offer Pixelfed.com as an onboarding platform for normal users. Which is also why we do not allow organizations.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @koen @fediversity please note that ”massive” here is just a word. the instance seems to have 655 total users and 139 active users. that makes it a small-mid instance, not a massive one
of course that could change soon if the plan is to become massive. but in the meantime let's just look behind the words before we use them, okay?

Dear #fosfem people. There is a massive #pixelfed server now in Europe: https://pixelfed.com open for everyone (just people, no organsations).
Hosted from the Netherlands under Dutch law and funded by the @fediversity project.
Please enter a human reason when onboarding (due to AI slop we must do that).
Do join and boost please. 🙏🏻
@koen I was under the impression I was already on it, but it is the .social one, can one move accounts? And you cannot login using your Mastdon credentials, isn't it?

Goed werk! Ik zit al een tijdje bij pixelfed.social, maar het is nog wat rustig en tam. Meer actie door meer gebruikers zou fijn zijn.

@koen @fediversity goed bezig!

@Artbbq @fediversity omdat we die graag voorzien van een (betaalde) eigen instance. Pixelfed.com is voor het onboarded van individuele mensen.
Dat helpt ook tegen de ver-add-ding en ver-bot-ting van het platform. Er wordt alleen gepost door echte mensen.
@koen Sidenote hierop: gratis voor consumenten maar een vrijwillige bijdrage kan wel?

@koen @fediversity doesn't the .com TLD mean a bit of a vulnerability to US control?

@koen yeah, this sounds nice. is it you who is responsible? @fediversity

Fair enough, I think, however then did the emphasis should be still on creating a broad spectrum of what I prefer to call communities rather than servers.
It’s more human. The foremost focus should be on distributed in the fediverse

@koen @fediversity wanted to sign up and it threw me out because at the end it tells me my user name is invalid. Tja. I don't want to go through all that sign up again. It is not user friendly, if you are not showing at once, when a form field input is not valid.

@krijnsoeteman @koen be careful with moving accounts between different Pixelfed instances. I lost all my contacts once. (I'm not the only one) make backup if you try.

# FOSDEM #Fediverse #Privacy
Does the Pixelfed software protect user privacy? Does it encrypt user data? Is private messaging, if this is a feature, end to end encrypted?

@koen @fediversity How did you implement approvals? I can't find that anywhere in my instance settings? Or maybe it's there but won't allow listing in the directory if I enable it ..? -
@axel @koen @fediversity or 'please hand us your government identification' for verification.
@wsslmn @koen @fediversity
At least then you know your users are not dogs 🐕! -
@rriemann @fediversity it is backed by oid.foundation
@koen @rriemann @fediversity is there a donation link or something to support?

@koen Beetje lullig, misschien, maar waarom een .com domein voor een Europese server? .com is immers een toplevel domein dat door de VS wordt beheerd...
-
@retech @fediversity that is incorrect we will have a look at the terms on Monday, it’s probably a result of an upgrade of the software.
@koen @fediversity cheers

@bloodymirova @rriemann @fediversity
there is not yet. All costs are covered by the @EUCommission @fediversity project for now, so don't worry about it right now.

There is a team of about 5 people that checks the new submissions for a few things:
1. is this a real human
2. is this not an organization
3. does this person not impersonate anyoneIf the answer to those questions is yes the account is approved.
The rest of the moderation is based on people reporting to us that something is not according to the rules, after which we will check if that is so and take appropriate action.

"Given this is based on a non-peer-reviewed paper by researchers at Anthropic, with their track record on research we can probably assume a) that the methodology is really bad, and b) if the results are accurate (if they even test the thing purported to be studied), they think this is good PR for AI"
