What are you Peeple doing to Peepeth?!

This place is growing so fast! Welcome, all. Looking forward to pioneering this space with each and every one of you.

Cool cool! If you had to pick your strongest area, generally speaking, what would you say it is?

(His strongest area is... Peeping... on mobile...)

(All the Ppeple on Peepeth know that.)

Definitely a generalist - in my world, I have to know a lot about a ton of things, but can't possibly be a technical genius in everything!

Well, that makes at least four of us then...

Aug 24, 2018 22:23

If there was an easy to use toggle at the top of the screen for unrolling all Peeps of a certain kind - it would make discussing this issues a little less tedious. Right now, it's requiring a bunch of clicking...

Aug 23, 2018 18:25

To anyone upset right now - please put down your pitchforks and help brainstorm solutions. Think out loud - don't just rage out loud. Peepeth is a step in the right direction - and it is committed to continuing stepping in that direction.

Peepeth needs your help, ideas, patience

Yeah, and I fully expect it to evolve into that in the near future. But be aware that this is a one man show right now and the funding process has just started. We have to give it some time. @calllmegwei

No doubt about that! I hope everyone in the community realizes that. Using the community to develop the solutions to be implemented, can save everyone some time though.

We'll get there Peeple. Community patience and open planning will make Peepeth a better platform. 🐧

It seems that Fulcrum (David Seaman) is being cesored for their political posts. They are a political news group! Should we not have the right to decide what we want to read, seeing as I willingly followed them?

To be clear - is your proposed solution that posts from people/orgs you follow *never* get rolled up? (Would that be not safe for work and political posts, etc?) Or is it that you should have broad control over which tags get rolled up? Or... ?

@ROMANSTENNINE If each user had absolute control over which kind of tags were shown to them by default - would that be a move in the right direction? Before you skedaddle - lend us your thoughts.

Actually @everyone - can you respond to this issue here? So we can organize our collective thoughts a little better.

(Additionally, if you don't mind consider the case where you are taking high blood pressure medications, have an explosive tempter, and can't read pol-it-ics.)

I agree with this quite a bit. I've been saying it for a while; we should be able to opt-in or opt-out of having nsfw or political posts hidden.

We're not the only ones, I'm sure. Great things about communities working together to solve tough issues likes these (and, yes, they are tough or they wouldn't be "broken" even on platforms with billions of users [thinking out loud])- is that anyone can chime in. Peepeth listens!

Replying to @sevvie (0xb9a7922eec475605498ba3c1f7f0aca98585f30a)

I have seen many peeps with poli-tics of one vain have the cover added to their posts afterward by a third party. But peeps with poli-tics of the opposite vain are not hidden from users. If the rule is not applied equally, it should not be applied. Besides, we have a mute button

What if both of those suggested solutions are the wrong approach? What if tagging things isn't the real issue... this is what I think, actually... if we allow the individual control of what flags to see by default - then I think we sidestep tyranny of the algo or of the flaggers.

but then the only people gaming the system would be those not genuinely wanting to be part of the community. They would dance around the algo and flaunt their "superior algo circumvention capabilities" - heck, they'd probably offer it up to advertiser... /3

say 5% of the community had to flag it ns-fw for it to apply on the front end. Then the dev made a fair and equal rule for the application of a flag - but he can't control community response. Is this FAIR?

Or else there is an open algo and it gets applied by machine ... /2

"... If the rule is not applied equally, it should not be applied. ..."

I agree with this 100% - but it's not as easy as it sounds. Imagine two posts with identical content. Now imagine the flags have to reach certain thresholds from the community to be applied ... /1

Replying to @tyson (0xc9ad401dcc9fc73f77e77de693b9c6782170d9d2)

What would verifying do if there are no ads on Peepeth? I also thing Peepeth should have an ad supported version that you can turn on if you want to collect BAT.

Verifying as a publisher let's Brave browser users transfers value to their favorite content creators / websites easily. The Brave user sets a budget for the month (say $20) and it gets divided between the sites you visit.

Re: ad version option... +1 I think this will be common.

I second this. Huge fan of the Brave vision.

It dovetails perfectly with an ad-free dApp like Peepeth.

Well to thread along - check this initial processor I've made : https://github.com/sponnet/peepin The good stuff is here : https://github.com/sponnet/peepin/blob/master/src/peepin.js - still a WIP but already walks & interprets all events of the contract. Feel free to fork/PR.

This is fantastic. Thank you for furthering the vision here.

Are we all going to decentralized citizenships or its just limited to currency and dapps

Citizenship might one day be a philosophical camp you join rather than a state you're claimed by.

Let's hope for that. Let's not stop with currencies and world computers.

@bevan Are you planning on supporting link unfurl so that articles being shared have more context?

I believe there is a "wait period" before links from a new account unfurl. This is a way to encourage active vs passive interactions for new users while they get a feel for the community.

Aug 22, 2018 02:44

Hypothetical: If a well-known exchange basically synonymous with high-leverage goes down for maintenance. And the price of assets traded there simultaneously spikes. Is this just playing a twisted game by the rules? Is this just making the "market more efficient"?

Answer: DEXs ?

haven't been on in awhile, but it is like a sidebar menu arrangement. I don't mind what you are showing me (how?), and I totally understand folk NOT wanting to see certain topics, though, for me, it is unnecessary bcuz I just ignore the uninteresting postings--to me that is.

Thanks for the feedback!

Aug 21, 2018 18:08

@ChiliMac Re: how gab handles categories. Could you briefly inform about it? (I will also check it out). Still curious how you feel about the implementation here and how it fits into the "realtime feed" model of a microblog.

If it has the term democrat, republican, or election - could you flag it with #politics ? This allows people a little more fine grained control of if they want to "go there" at any given time. That said - I don't trust any politicians to have my best interest in mind. #politics

See how that works @ChiliMac - then people can choose to see what we're engaging about or not.

Thoughts on that implementation?

no worries, I'm a patient man in terms of the evolution of peepeth, etc, but seriously IMPATIENT with the current rising era of censorship and apathy of my fellow Americans. Had the last election gone the other way . . . . serious tyranny.

I did my summary of peepeth on twitter yesterday when the kickstarter launched. It was useful having @Bevan explain in his own words about the site and system behind it in the kickstarter for my twitter peoples. Sadly I don't think I got any takers. :/

It's hard to be heard on Twitter. The platform encourages floods of superficial interactions. Thus... enter... Peepeth.

Your efforts are certainly appreciated, though. It all helps.

@bevan What was your thinking behind launching a kickstarter first instead of crypto related crowdfunding?

I can't answer for him, but I'll chime in for the meantime - and to bump this to the top of the feed.

Accessibility. Awareness. Spreading adoption. @Bevan has spoken repeatedly about being as inclusive and as broad as possible More positive social media for the masses.

censorship, alive and well, even here on peepeth, or at least the desire to silence others. I kinda feeeeel sorry for 'em, then again . . . Reality, it's a bitch, interferes with playing dress up and shit.

There's no desire to silence anyone. The're only a desire to focus on positivity on this front end. More front ends will be rolling out shortly - common back end data stores for interoperability - that will have different focuses.

Hang tight. Keep engaging. This is all evolving.

Hey @Bevan, I want to mention Peepeth & the KS in a podcast ep. Thursday, ~4k listens. DTube also gets a mention. It’s on censorship (historically of heresy & sedition, recently of several public figures across the political spectrum) Have a minute to chat or at least 1-2 quotes?

That's a first-rate gesture! Your listeners are going to love this place.

I understand that and still think some low hanging fruit like publishing the ABI on GitHub or hosting a developer portal should be prioritized to let it be known that Peepeth.com condones and encourages openness and decentralization, even if Peepeth.com itself isn’t open source
