Public things like profiles are public to the world. Intentionally, and as far as I know, right from the beginning.<br/><br/>If people want it to mean something different for them, I think that&#39;s a fine reason to have a new feature or a new kind of software on the Fediverse. But I think people expecting their local culture to dominate Fediverse-wide on this in spite of both the implementation and other cultures is, well, practically untenable to say the least. 2025-07-18T13:23:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrpk8pg8w5hn8hmrdsghx4cku6ag3kq068ksu3hkhyeh84edq0zjszypllx24hrjnyzlz8kgu0xuny5eux54j9xsccg309yjax7ft86yplxwaf66u So there&#39;s a mini-tempest going on. The upshot as I understand it being that some users apparently want to have a public Mastodon account, but want to be asked before that account gets mentioned or linked to on other social media platforms.<br/><br/>I&#39;m having trouble even making sense of the request. The way I think of the Fediverse is as a set of interlinked platforms with no clear boundaries. And the way I think of identity here is that the profile basics are published to the world, with that being an essential property of what an account is.<br/><br/>I&#39;m also familiar with private forums, where users are vetted and everything is locked down, and it&#39;s a sin to leak anything.<br/><br/>But are there parts of Mastodon (or the Fedivese) with the latter culture but on top of an essentially public infrastructure? Or is there something else going on culturally that I&#39;m missing? 2025-07-18T12:48:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0rquwt8z9zvzeke20fluy05ptf9xuuwukzayd4hhkwqjwm0xedmszypllx24hrjnyzlz8kgu0xuny5eux54j9xsccg309yjax7ft86yplx0knlws In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz2fsxs8uax3jy05cusw7kcwgu0kju5d7zuy9e5frprrp9jlqjgkqssdvqc'>nevent1q…dvqc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Me too!

As I explained, an LLM doesn&#39;t receive enough information to spot bugs. The best it can do is reproduce text from its training set in which some human described a bug sufficiently close to code that was buggy 2024-10-05T19:23:43Z
