The Magnus Archives is still the best podcast of all time, if you’re into audio dramas.

I also love The Deep 3, Thinking Basketball, and the No Dunks podcast for the NBA.

Oh, Reddit! Thanks.

Where was this posted?

I believe it’s actually possible to sign in with mastodon on Pixelfed. Wouldn’t that work for a single user mastodon instance too?

You’re right. I’m not sure if it works with single-user instances, but I believe it does. This is the sort of thing that is technically possible — I believe ActivityPods aims to do something about it, too — but I don’t know… I guess federation can be a bit of a safeguard for this, like having a list of flagged instances that don’t allow account creation; requiring certain thresholds of account age or activity to be passed; stuff like that. There’s also the fact that, being social media, no instance wants bots to run wild, so that could, itself, be a check on that sort of thing, and it might not be economically viable to just host an instance strictly for bot-login purposes, so that is just an inherent barrier to wrongdoing.

Meh, maybe it’s more feasible than not.

I think they meant on a post-by-post basis. You can’t farm account karma, but you can farm upvotes on individual posts, for ego, I guess…

There is the vibe-check on Lemmy, though. I don’t believe the algorithm takes that into account.

As others have mentioned in the comments, this might not really work because websites/services would have to trust a bunch of tiny, maybe even single-user instances.

I can see a world where sign-in with Fediverse is possible, but only for a select few instances such as .world, .ml, .ee, and a few other highly-moderated servers.

!!! THANK YOU

Huh, I’d never heard of the Indieweb… Looks cool. I’ll sub to the newsletter as well, very interesting.
