Primitive Technology. Heard of this through lemmy. Pretty nice overall. No talking but you can follow along through the subtitles.

I've been looking into [anthotypes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthotype) recently and thought they were pretty interesting. Then I started to wonder if it was possible to make an anthotype that could display multiple colors (like a colored photograph). I came across [this post](https://www.alternativephotography.com/in-camera-anthotypes/) and thought it was like the reverse of a regular anthotype. Which made me wonder if you could use the same process to create a colored picture? I was thinking if you took plants that produce pigments across the color spectrum and mixed them together it could make the coating black. Then when the light hits the paper it removes the pigments from the other colors on the spectrum only leaving the color that was hit in that space eventually creating a colored picture. I haven't had the chance to try this yet and I am not really knowledgeable about photography, but would this work?

dbzer0 is anarchist though.

But in general, one reason I really like the idea is that it’s getting away from one individual making decisions about what is and isn’t toxic and outsourcing it more to the community at large and how they feel about it, which feels more fair.
Yeah that does sound useful it is just that there are some communities where it isn't necessarily clear who is a jerk and who has a controversial minority opinion. For example how do you think the bot would've handled the vegan community debacle that happened. There were a lot of trusted users who were not necessarily on the side of vegans and it could've made those communities revert back to a norm of what users think to be good and bad.
I think giving people some insight into how it works, and ability to play with the settings, so to speak, so they feel confident that it’s on their side instead of being a black box, is a really good idea. I tried some things along those lines, but I didn’t get very far along.
If you'd want I can help with that. Like you said it sounds like a good way of decentralizing moderation so that we have less problems with power tripping moderators and more transparent decisions. I just want it so that communities can keep their specific values while easing their moderation burden.
Danterious 2d ago • 100%
Is there a way of tailoring the moderation to a communities needs? One problem that I can see arising is that it could lead to a mono culture of moderation practices. If there is a way of making the auto reports relative that would be interesting.

Maybe we should look for ways of tracking coordinated behaviour. Like a definition I've heard for social media propaganda is "coordinated inauthentic behaviour" and while I don't think it's possible to determine if a user is being authentic or not, it should be possible to see if there is consistent behaviour between different kind of users and what they are coordinating on.
Edit: Because all bots do have purpose eventually and that should be visible.
Edit2: Eww realized the term came from Meta. If someone has a better term I will use that instead.

Kagi doesn't really have its own index either. It mainly relies on other search engines as well and the indexes that are its own that focus on small web stuff is better done by marginalia.nu which is also open source.
Danterious 5d ago • 50%
It is a meta-search engine so it takes results from other search engines and shows the results. Usually you can decide which search engines to use in preferences. You can host it yourself or find an online instance to use.

I think the observer shows daily and monthly stats for the active users per month and active users per half year so the active users per month wouldn't change as fast I think.
Also about it being a botfarm I do think that is a possibility. Actually there is more evidence for it when you see extend the graph to 120 days and see a huge uptick in users and servers at the same time. Edit: 2024-7-29
Edit: wording

I was talking about on the fediverse observer. It wouldn't show up immediately there.
Danterious 5d ago • 28%
Not immediately though right? since the active users are a month or half-year. Or does it automatically update that too?
Danterious 5d ago • 88%
Most searxng instances have a similar lens for lemmy comments so you can do that too if you want an open source alternative.
Danterious 5d ago • 44%
Probably but which instance has over 70,000 users?

consider conservative anarchists
That sounds like an oxymoron. I mean there are anarcho-capitalists but most other anarchists don't consider them anarchist.

Honestly I love the direction you are going with this. I agree with you about the abundance especially if the people in this world have culturally shifted so that most things do get shared. And I do think that in a real life transition we would definitely see a lot of people scavenging and recycling stuff and relying on each other for daily needs.
I also think it would be cool to see how much of nature we can use to enhance existing technology or maybe even create a whole new tech tree that is run with mutual relationships with different organisms. Like there was a group of scientist that found bacteria that produce concrete when exposed to water and another group that is working on a chemical computers. What if we reinforce buildings by planting trees that grew around them, worked with some animals to build stuff that benefits both them and us at the same time, or used organic computing (maybe using slime molds) to do complex, long term, calculations without the need for electricity and it being much less fragile.
The thing is that for what I'm describing it wouldn't be something that we fully realize in our generation but I do think it would lead to a society that could sustain itself indefinitely if we chose to live below the regeneration rate for the material or organisms we chose.
Edit: I was thinking about this only because I watched some stuff by Ronald wright and it has stuck quite a bit. specifically this if you are interested: https://youtu.be/S1ypWcqnojM (tried invidious but didn't work)
Edit2: Also there are a few things I disagree with like his views on population control and his belief on the reliance of governments for change but his analysis is spot on.

I think a lot of the planning for their scenes comes from the solarpunk prompts podcast these days.
I remember seeing a post on here about that podcast and added it to the list of podcasts I'm listening to.
They’ve been doing a bunch of cool solarpunk art for a bit, and they’ve started releasing it CC-BY
Huh I didn't know that. I'll make sure to keep out an eye for their work. Btw was looking through your website and I like how thought out your photobashes are.
Also as an aside since it seems you put a lot of thought into this kind of stuff do you have any thoughts on how much of a solarpunk future can run on only renewable material? I see a lot of art that focuses on solar panels and stuff but I've recently been thinking that it might not be possible to have too many of those long term because repairing them probably would require a complex supply chain and extraction process that we probably would have to move away from as society gets transformed.

I like the art a lot already. Can't wait to see more.

This is pretty cool thx. I like how they include both the researcher and their seminal works. It also helped me find another researcher that was into low tech other than Philippe Bihouix. I wonder why most researchers that are into that are French?
Danterious 4w ago • 66%
I forgot that this podcast existed. I have a bit of catching up to do.
Danterious 1mo ago • 50%
Well maybe I should've been more specific. The reason why I mentioned low tech is because it tends to favor localized production and tech that can be easily repaired/modified/created. The pager and walkie talkie attacks came from them not having control over how the tech was produced. If they did have control over that then it would be less likely that this happened and even if it did they would be able to recover quicker.
PS I actually don't really care about Hezbollah doing this. They suck. It is just in principle it would be better.

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities. I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.) I scaled it so it was based on percentage of comments made by a commentor in that community. Here is the code for the crawler and data that was used to make the map: https://codeberg.org/danterious/Lemmy_map

Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?
