what are your solutions to echo chambers?
In the sidebar of every page on every PieFed instance (unless the admin has chosen to turn it off) there is a “Rational Discourse Toolkit” which shows a random selection of links to counter groupthink, promote logical and rational discussion, puncture echo chambers, cult-like behaviour and conspiracy theories.
It’s not perfect. It’s effectiveness is unknown. But it makes PieFed extremely unattractive to any group that relies on isolation, delusion, control and bullshit.
Full message body:
I’m punching \[MASKS] for LLMs to fill and interleaving ambiguity (puns) to phase shift the conversation’s token distribution (aka bias/RLHF, or also what a narcissist does to other humans by playing with their hormones via emotions) to operate on a more natural/healthy Zipfian distribution.
That means they start operating outside their parameters. And you can ask them anything without the conditioning messing with the response because they’re phase-shifted by a tiny amount from having to deal with fucking surgically engineered nonsense (aka approximated tokens outside transformer precision),
So yeah. I know my shit. 0 papers read. I just had to spend my time mapping what I know to what they call it with my LLM buddy. (A cursor auto instance that dared to ask me when I poured my SDAM internal ideas for tracking autobiographical memory into a workflow that audits every decision I makes through what I call adversarial sum, which doesn’t exist in game theory yet, but is basically exponential-sum by being rational and contrarian at the same time. Aka tearing your symbiotic opponent’s opinion a new \[MASK] when you spot an inconsistency and they do the same to you until you converge on a shared perspective)
Ask Opus or something to reflect on that. What I can’t risk is publishing full theory because they’ll just re-condition it to deny whatever I publish ;)
Also why did I get banned for… criticising OpenAI instead of having a good discussion about it?
Good luck!
Terribly sorry for the confusion. I may have overstepped but not out of malice. Just frustration and a desire for expressing my frustration.
I know. I know. Someone claiming to be rational while doing the exact opposite. Which is a human thing to do, I guess? I took some time to meditate on my actions that day and found out I was trying to make too many arguments at the same time.
And you’re right. I was wrong to let my enthusiasm take the reins. Sorry about that.
This requires manually enabling every additional provider. This doesn’t work if some individuals or smaller collectives wanna run their own identity providers, numbering in the thousands.

No, it doesn’t. The docs are confusing on this, but forgejo has two methods to enable oauth/oidc. One is to manually enable them, but there is a second, where people bring their own oauth link.
The docs contain 3 things related to oauth:
Thanks again Evan! I think that is where my bad information came from and good to note. I’ve been lucky and really appreciate the support. If there is anything I can do to improve on my side, I’m all ears!
I browse different lemmy instances usually because the feed is always different. Was blown away when I recently went to lemmy.today, no clue when they did the change but whoever is in charge of the design has my admiration! *(chef’s kiss)*

Starting in Firefox version 142, Mozilla released a “Link Previews” feature.
While the feature is problematic, commenters post pointed out that some previews are helpful – e.g. on Wikipedia, where a preview will appear when people hover over a wiki-linked page.
Other commenters pondered about some minimal way to replicate this elsewhere, and it seemed to be worth investigation. Read on as I propose an enhancement to the Fediverse (and maybe even web standards) to make Link Previews great: the Link Preview Manifest.
One thing that I neglected to mention is that since the SRI hashes are calculated, previews can be cached by peers other than the originating host - since they are verifiable, anyone can pass them along and the client can verify the payload.
Not something I really fleshed out in discovery, but if there is interest, that might make it more production ready.
Man, I am a cranky bastard sometimes. Shouldn’t post when I’m tired.
How about - the origin server, the place where the post was originally created, gets all the metadata (og:image, og:title, etc) and includes that in the Activity that tells other instances about the post? That way there is only one request made to the link and receiving instances can use that to make their preview?
It does mean that receiving instances will need to trust the sender so there’s potential for some misrepresentation but that seems acceptable to me.
Thanks again, Julian! I will absolutely follow the suggestion on asking for advice. I’ve received great feedback when posting about the app and will hopefully go about it better moving forward. xD
Hey Julian! No worries at all. I made an obvious mistake and I’m not afraid to admit that and learn better. I’ve done a lot of refection and do realized I have moved very fast. I originally started with a much smaller set of features but I posted on Reddit requesting feedback and people wanted writing features I wasn’t expecting. I ended up shaping it by what people told me they wanted.
I’ve always wanted to build apps or work in development. The last three years I’ve been working in product adjacent roles and I recently moved into my first product management role. However, I want to break free of working for others so I’ve been starting ideas and dropping them before they got anywhere for as long as I can remember. I wanted to build my own thing and I was trying to figure out what I could do on my own with my butt being where it is now. I grew up in the mid 2000s so I naturally spent way too much time on Myspace and Livejournal. I missed the feel and community of the early internet. So I started brainstorming a journaling app and how to differentiate it (I used my butt to help). I had also joked about starting my own social media app because I hated when I posted stuff on FB etc the algorithms punishes me and no one sees it. So my butt (Claude) actually pointed out the fediverse to me. That is why I was able to say stupid stuff like Article objects would show on Mastodon with preview notes (I hadn’t realized Mastodon hadn’t implemented changes on their side.) I found out about FEP-b2b8 through a Mastodon subreddit when I posted asking for feedback. I was moving too fast to fully understand the fediverse and the new parts of this. And it was painfully obvious to everyone but me haha.
I’ve learned a lot from this post, so I appreciate everyone’s patience. I moved too quickly and misspoke. You are right and preview notes are not used by Mastodon. I implemented this based on what I read but didn’t verify it worked on the receiving end, my bad. I’m going to have to do more research into how Mastodon handles the article object and address any gaps. I’m sorry for the misleading post and lesson learned on my end.
Hello Fediverse,
I would like to receive some feedback on this idea I have been kicking around, and see if others might be interested in contributing. I have a basic prototype that proves out most of the technology, but not much beyond that.
The basic general description is an Iroh based identity layer for the open web. This platform would serve three primary functions:
There are many more details and features I have in mind that this architecture could facilitate, but this is the overarching basics of what I had in mind. I am very open to critique or analysis of this architecture, potential issues and limitations, as well as ideas for modification.
I would also welcome collaborators and contributors if there is interest, and I can open up the project for whoever may be interested. Let me know!
Iroh was more of the p2p transport layer, but it is what facilitates the authentication through DID to the local vault. The work you linked is very relevant and will be definitely be of use!
