RTR#29 Another boring update: Categories and bug fixes (kbin.social) en

Today, I wanted to introduce you to Categories - a new feature that is essentially a multi-mags view. A new tab will appear in the user panel where you can create categories (public or private) and then add magazines to them (local or remote). In the magazine listing, there will be another tab that will list public categories...

Will there be a way for communities to opt-out from being listed in a category?

I think there is a lot of abuse potential in this and even if well intended, a single word or so can’t really describe what communities are about, and as a result those categories (similar to the “all” feed) will bring a lot of off-topic comments and trolling from people not engaged with the communities at all otherwise.

On Mastodon with hashtags the original poster can at least make a conscious choice of being listed under it or not. But this seems fully third party driven and I fear it will increase moderation workload significantly.

Most trolling and brigading is fairly low effort, and having a sharable collection of communities to troll makes it much easier to organize lots of people to do just that. Edit: yes external tools for that exist but having it built in makes it much easier to abuse and rope in people to do the trolling that otherwise would not bother.

But my main concern is that this isn’t opt-in for communities. Having a sharable and subscribable link with for example “meme” communities means that all of them are seeing a constant barrage of random people commenting that are not members of that community and do not have any idea what the community is about other than that it is somewhat loosely related to “memes”. It basically hides everything that is vital about the communities and actively damages attempts at community building.

If you don’t have much time, I would keep it as simple as possible. Just put Fedora on it, administer it through Cockpit if you like a web-gui and run the software via Podman self-updating containers. Storage on btrfs raid1.

Cockpit is not the most advanced in regards to monitoring but it keeps it simple and manageable.

Podman runs all Docker containers (at least in rootful mode), but you are better off turning the usual docker-compose scripts into systemd service files via the built in Quadlet system. A bit more work initially, but then all the containers are nicely managed like any other service via systemd.
